Note
In the following cases, "Impossible" appears and you can't erase
a portion of a track:
• The point B you entered comes before point A.
• After repeated editing of a track, it may become impossible to
erase a portion of the track any further. This is a technical
limitation of the MD system and is not a mechanical error.
You can divide a recorded track at anv point simply by
acfding a track mark at that point. This is especially useful
when you want to di\'ide recorded material which
contains multiple tracks but only one track number (see
page 20), or w'hen you w'ant to locate a certain point in the
track.
