Sony MDS-501 - Manual (Page 34)

Erasing Recordings (Erase Function)
You can use the erase function to do the following:
• Erase a single track
• Erase a disc
• Erase a part of a track
After you erase a specific track, the total number of tracks decreases by one, and all
tracks following the erased track are renumbered.
Since tracks following an erasure are renumbered, you should erase multiple tracks
in order of larger to smaller track numbers to prevent the renumbering of tracks not
yet erased.
Note, that once erased, a track cannot be recovered.
Erasing a single track
You can erase a track while the recorder is stopped, playing
or paused simply by specifying the respective track number.
