Track Protection

[DaveNH700]

Hi,

Along with a portable 2nd-hand MD player, I received about twenty recordable discs containing compilations of the previous owners music. Some of which I like and would like to keep whilst other tracks I would like to delete. Whilst playing the discs in my JE780 deck I pause on the tracks I want to delete and through the menu choose 'Tr Erase' and press enter but I get a message saying 'Tr protected'. The disc is write enabled so how can I turn the track protection off?

When I put the disc in my portable NetMD player and connect it to a PC I can delete tracks through SonicStage but I can't see anyway of turning the protection on/off so I can erase tracks on my deck as I listen to them.

Is there a way I can turn track protection off for one or ideally all/multiple tracks in SonicStage so I can then take the disc back to my JE780 deck and erase tracks as I listen to them without using the PC again?

Thanks

Dave.

IIRC, discs that have been made (or edited) with a PC in NetMD mode cannot be edited afterwards on a unit.

You have to use SonicStage to erase the tracks. Simply take note of which tracks you don't like, and then afterwards erase them all at one time, throught SonicStage.

You could also hook up your JE780 to your computer through its USB connection. You can then control the unit from your PC, allowing you to erase any unwanted tracks, while listening to the sound coming from the deck.
