4 Turn AMS to select the first track of the two to be
combined and press AMS or YES.
The display for selecting the second track appears
and the deck repeats the portion where the two
tracks will join (i.e., the end of the first track and
the beginning of the succeeding track).
5 Turn AMS to select the second track of the two to
be combined and press AMS or YES.
“Complete!!” appears for a few seconds and the
total number of tracks in the music calendar
decreases by one.
If both of the combined tracks have track titles, the
title of the second track is erased.
To cancel the Combine Function
Press MENU/NO or p.
z You can undo the Combine Function
Use the Undo Function immediately after you combined
the tracks (see page 45).
Note
If “Impossible” appears in the display, the tracks cannot be
combined. This sometimes happens when you’ve edited the
same track many times, and is due to a technical limitation
of the MD system, not a mechanical error.
Combining Recorded Tracks
(Combine Function)
Use the Combine Function to combine tracks on a
recorded MD. The two tracks to be combined need not
to be consecutive and the latter track to be combined
can be the track which comes before the former one in
the track number order. This function is useful for
combining several songs into a single medley, or
several independently recorded portions into a single
track. When you combine two tracks, the total number
of tracks decreases by one and all tracks following the
combined tracks are renumbered.
Example: Combining B and D
1 While the deck is stopped, playing, or pausing,

display.
