Editing Recorded HDD
25
Tips
• You can divide a track while recording. For details,
see “Marking track numbers while recording” on
page 15.
• If you divide a track with a Highlight position, the
track with the Highlight position becomes the
representative track. If you divide a track in the
middle of the Highlight position, the 10 seconds up
to the dividing point automatically become the new
Highlight position, and the track containing the
Highlight position becomes the new representative
track of the album.
Notes
• You cannot divide a track at its beginning or end.
• You cannot divide a track if the total number of
tracks in the album will exceed 400 after the
division.
• You cannot divide a track if the total number of
tracks on the HDD will exceed 20,000 after the
division.
• You cannot divide tracks in a play list.
Combining recorded
tracks
–– Combine Function
You can use this function to combine 2 tracks
into a single track. The total number of tracks
in the album decreases by one and all the tracks
following the combined ones are renumbered.
You can also use this function to erase
unnecessary track numbers.
When using the remote, set SELECT to HDD.

1 While the recorder is stopped, playing
or paused, press MENU/NO after
selecting the album you want to edit.
“Edit Menu” appears in the display.
2 Turn ALBUM dial (or press ALBUM +/–
on the remote repeatedly) until
“Combine?” flashes in the display, then
press ALBUM dial or YES.
3 Turn ALBUM dial (or press ALBUM +/–
on the remote repeatedly) until the
track number of the first track you want
to combine flashes, then press ALBUM
dial or YES.
The display for selecting a second track
appears and the recorder plays the portion
where joining will occur (the end of the first
track and the beginning of the second track
following it) repeatedly.
4 Turn ALBUM dial (or press ALBUM +/–
on the remote repeatedly) until the
track number of the second track you
want to combine flashes, then press
ALBUM dial or YES.
“Complete!” appears for a few seconds.
The combined track starts playing.
Notes
• If both of the combined tracks have track names,
the name of the second track is erased.
• If “Impossible” appears in the display, the tracks
cannot be combined because repeated editing has
been done to the track(s). This is a technical
limitation of the HDD system and is not a
mechanical error.
• You cannot combine tracks if the total playing time
of the tracks will exceed 120 minutes after the
combination.
• You cannot combine tracks in a play list.
