Press PUSH ENTER or YES again if the
dividing point is correct.
“Complete!” appears and the deck starts to

ENTER or YES when you locate the desired
dividing point. You can shift the point by 1-

on the track recorded in Monaural mode or
LP2 Stereo mode, and by 4-frame intervals
on the track recorded in LP4 Stereo mode.

You can use this function to combine 2 tracks
into a single track. The total number of tracks
decreases by one and all tracks following the
combined ones are renumbered.

unnecessary track numbers.
Example: Combining track 3 to track 1.

Notes
• Tracks recorded in different modes (stereo, MONO,
LP2 or LP4) cannot be combined.
• If both of the combined tracks have a track name,
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 MD system and is not a mechanical
error.
