Playing MDs
Changing Playback Speed
(Variable Speed Play)
You can adjust the play time by changing the speed of
play.
You can adjust the speed of a track in the normal range of
±12.5%. You can play late at up to 12.5% of normal speed
(in this case, a pitch is low) and fast at up to 12.5% of
normal speed (in this case, a pitch is high).
Note
MDLP-recorded tracks cannot be played faster than
normal speed. When you play an MD containing the
MDLP-recorded tracks, adjustment of the speed
automatically (0 to _12.5%) is made.
If you play an MD containing MDLP-recorded tracks when
fast speed is set, the speed becomes 0% automatically.

Editing Recorded
MDs
This chapter explains the various editing
methods that are available.
Before you start editing
RAM editing and DISC editing
Two edit modes are available.
DISC editing : The results of editing are recorded to the
disc’s TOC.
RAM editing : The results of editing are not recorded, but
are only temporarily edited for output.
RAM editing allows for the editing of
record-protected discs or premastered discs.
Editing operation methods are common.
Notes
• To protect music copyright, premastered MD that has
been RAM edited cannot be digitally recorded.
• RAM editing is a temporary edit only, so the contents of
editing cannot be written to disc. When the disc is
removed, the contents of editing is not saved.
• Recording and S.F EDIT cannot be made in RAM edit
mode.
To select RAM editing
Insert a disc while pressing x (STOP). “RAM” lights up in
the display.
To select DISC editing
Remove the disc once. The “RAM” indication on the
display will disappear, and the mode is returned to DISC
editing.

Editing Recorded MDs
Using buttons and control for editing
operations
The buttons and control of the recorder can be used as
described below to erase, divide, move or combine tracks.
Note
When a name is given to a track or disc, the functions of
the buttons and control described below will change. For
more details, see the section “Naming track or MD” (page

selected by turning the AMS; confirmation is made by
pressing it. It is also used to erase part of a track, or to
specify the division of a track.
YES: This can be used instead of pressing AMS.
m/M: Press to specity the unit (minute, second, or
frame) which playback is advanced when the AMS
control is turned.
You can also use these buttons to locate the end point of
the portion to be erased.
For more information on the functions of each button, refer
the page on the editing operations.
About indication which appears during
editing
When “Protected” appears in the display.
The MD’s record-protect slot is open, and editing cannot

more details, see the section “To prevent accidental erasure
of the recorded material” on page 19.
About indications which appear after
editing

The material that has been edited has not yet been
recorded to the MD. Remove the MD, or turn off and then
turn on power to the recorder; the edited material will be
written to disc.

The edited material is being recorded to the MD. Do not
disconnect the power supply and do not move the MD—
the sound material may not be recorded properly.
Erasing Tracks (ERASE)
By specifying the number of a track to be erased, or the
section to be deleted. All tracks, or any number of tracks,
can also be erased.

to be erased:
AAA BBB CCC DDD
1 2 3 4

When a track is erased, the track numbers are
automatically reassigned. For example, when track two is
erased, the previous track number three and all others
after it move up one track number.
