If “PLAY BACK” or “DISC PROTECTED” appears when you try to edit an MD

You cannot edit such MDs. See page 49.

You can also assign titles to MDs and/or tracks

(See page 39.)

A title can be assigned to a track or disc. Once a title is assigned, it is displayed in later playback for confirmation.

Each title can be composed of up to 61 characters, and can be input using alphabetic characters (uppercase and lowercase), symbols and numerals.

DIVIDE Function

This function allows you to divide one track into two separate tracks. It is useful, for example, when you want to add track marks at a certain point within a track or if you want to separate a recording.

• To stop any time during editing process, press

The source is changed to “MD.”

6

Press Ø or ø to adjust the dividing point precisely.

When you stop pressing the buttons, the unit repeats the newly selected dividing point.

• You can shift the dividing point up to ±128. This range (±128) corresponds to approximately ±8 seconds* from the original point (Position 0).

• Each time you press TITLE/EDIT, the edit mode changes as follows:

DISC TITLE?

DIVIDE ?

JOIN ?
