EDITING

Erase

The ability to erase sound without having to re-record is a
convenient function of MD. You can erase the entire disc,
a single track, or just part of a track.

Disc erase

This operation lets you erase all audio and title (character)
data to create a blank MD. Please note that once erased,
this data can be recovered using the UNDO function.

Track erase

This operation lets you erase a single track as well as
corresponding title data. After you erase the track, the
total number of tracks decreases by one and all tracks
following that track are renumbered.
