Erasing tracks
It is possible to erase the last recorded track, the last
two recorded tracks, the last three recorded tracks,
etc. It is not, however, possible to erase tracks in the
“middle” of the disc.
1
With the disc loaded, and the unit in stop
mode, press the
ERASE
key.
2
If the display does not show
ERASE XX-
XX?
, where
XX
is the number of the last
track recorded on the disc, turn the
MULTI
DIAL
or use the
SKIP
keys until it is
displayed.
3
Turn the
MULTI DIAL
or use the
SKIP
keys to
change the number of the first track to be
erased. The highest value that this number
can take is the last track recorded (for exam-
ple, if 17 tracks have been recorded on the
disc,
17-17
means that the last track only,
number 17, will be erased). The lowest value
that this number can take is
2
(if this num-
ber was
1
, the whole disc would be erased, as
described below).
If you do not want to proceed with the erase
operation, press any other key (such as the
STOP
key).
NOTE
If only one track has been recorded on the disc, only the
“erase disc” option (, “Erasing a whole disc”) is avail-
able.
4
When the range of tracks to be erased has
been selected, press the
MULTI DIAL
or the
ENTER
key.
NOTE
This operation cannot be undone. If you are going to
erase a track or tracks, make sure that they are record-
ings that you really want to erase!
If the erase operation has been selected, the
word
ERASE
flashes on the display, and the
timer starts counting down.
At the end of the countdown period, the word
Complete
appears briefly on the display,
and the display returns to the track/time
display.
Erasing a whole disc
When you want to erase a whole disc (all the tracks
on a disc), follow the procedure below:
1
With the disc loaded, and the unit in stop
mode, press the
ERASE
key.
2
Turn the
MULTI DIAL
or use the
SKIP
keys
until the display shows
ERASE DISC?
.
If you do not want to proceed with the erase
operation, press any other key (such as the
STOP
key).
3
To erase the contents of the disc, press the
MULTI DIAL
or the
ENTER
key.
NOTE
This operation cannot be undone. If you are going to
erase a disc, make sure that it contains only recordings
that you really want to erase!
If the erase operation has been selected, the
word
ERASE
flashes on the display, and the
timer starts counting down a time value
shown on the display.
At the end of the countdown period, the word
Complete
appears briefly on the display,
and the display returns to the track/time
display.
Refreshing a disc
If a CD-RW disc has been corrupted at any point (e.g.
power has been cut off in the middle of a finalize
operation, etc.), or has been used in a computer or
another piece of equipment that makes it unreadable,
it is possible to “refresh” the disc to make it usable
again. This is equivalent to formatting a disk on a
computer to prepare it for use. This operation
destroys all data on the disc.
1
With the disc loaded, and the unit in stop
mode, press the
ERASE
key.
2
Turn the
MULTI DIAL
or use the
SKIP
keys
until the display shows
DISC REFRESH
.
3
To refresh the disc, press the
MULTI DIAL
or
the
ENTER
key.
