msteeln Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 1st days of learning to drive my new baby and I want to clean up some recordings, but no where in the entire manual can I find how to erase a track. They briefly talk about erasing, but do not explain exactly how to do it. Here's the manual, but only pgs. 54/55 address erasing, to an incomplete point... http://www.minidisc.org/manuals/sony/Sony_MZ-RH1_user_manual.pdf What is the procedure to erase? Thanx!

sfbp Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 That one I can do (come and snigger at me not solving the problem of messed up SS database in another thread!) Start by pressing and holding the "display/menu" button on the unit. Now go into the menu as follows (you will become skilled with the "jog lever" very quickly) Edit-> Erase-> Erase Track-> It erases the currently playing track. This is the same functionality on all MD units. Sorry if that seems a little inflexible. The decks are better, but they mostly don't do HiMD. You must be disconnected from USB to do this. If you are connected to USB you can do it from SonicStage, BUT.... there is a big bug. Don't even think about erasing untitled tracks this way (using the computer).

PsychoPimpKiller Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 I've never had any problems erasing untitled tracks on my computer with my MZ-M200. What kind of problems can happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Just try it. Provided you want to scream, throw things at the wall, and collapse in a terrified psychotic heap on the floor after you trashed an entire recording with your favourite music on, gone forever. One small qualification - this is a SonicStage bug, not an M200 bug. So you can erase tracks using the buttons on the M200 just fine.

How do I enter the erase function once I have success finding once I find what I want to delete? I need to use this (my only) disc soon for a show and want it completely cleared. How can I erase everything at once? Thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 As I said you must learn to negotiate the menus. Each level of menu can be traversed by the FF and RW movements of jog lever (or remote), and you descend deeper into the menu with Enter, whilst pressing STOP (the square) will step out one level. To enter the Edit menu, press Enter. And so on.... HTH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
