Editing Recorded MDs
Dividing Recorded Tracks
(Divide Function)
With the Divide Function you can assign a track
number at places that you want to randomly access
afterwards. Use this function to add tracks to MDs
recorded from an analog source (and therefore contain
no track numbers), or to divide an existing track into
multiple portions. When you divide a track, the total
number of tracks on the MD increases by one and all
tracks following the divided track are renumbered.
Example: Dividing track 2 to create a new track for C

display.
The starting position can be moved within a
maximum range of -128 to +127 steps of about
Ü.06 second each within a track.

Step 5 until it is correct.

When the track has been divided, "Complete"
