Erasing a portion of a track

This is useful for erasing the unnecessary portions of a
track recorded from a satellite or FM broadcast.

track
AAA BBB
1 2

* When recording in Stereo mode, you can shift the starting
point by 2-frame intervals (in Monaural mode and LP2

mode).
To find a point quickly
Specify a unit (minute, second, or frame) by which the
MD is advanced when you turn AMS (or press ./
> repeatedly).
To do this, press m/M in step 4 repeatedly to select
minute, second, or "f" (frame). The selected unit
flashes in the display.
5
Repeat step 4 until you have located point A.
6
Press AMS or YES to enter point A.
"Point B set" appears and the deck starts playing from
point A until the track ends.
7 Continue playing the track or press M to locate
the ending point of the portion to be erased (point
B), then press AMS or YES.
"A-B Ers" and "Point B ok?" alternate in the display
and a few seconds of the track before point A and after
point B play back repeatedly.
8
Repeat step 4 until you have located point B.
9
Press AMS or YES to enter point B.
"Complete!!" appears for a few seconds and the
portion between point A and B is erased.
To cancel the operation
Press MENU/NO or x.
Note
If "Impossible" appears in the display, you cannot erase a
portion of a track. This happens when you have edited the same
track many times.
This is due to a technical limitation of the MD system and is not
a mechanical error.
