utes. You can abort the track erase operation at anytime by pressing the [STOP] button.

songs formats a disc. A disc that has been used to store computer data must be formatted using

on the display as the TOC is updated.
The erased area becomes a recordable blank area. However, you cannot use that area for record-
ing until it becomes the largest blank area, since only the largest blank area can be used for
recording.
