Erasing tracks
It is possible to erase the last recorded track, the last two
recorded tracks, the last three recorded tracks, etc. It is not,
however, possible to erase tracks in the “middle” of the disc.
This operation cannot be undone. If you are going
to erase a track or tracks, make sure that they are
recordings that you really want to erase!
To operat this function, the unit should be in Continue
mode. The function cannot to be used when play-
back mode is Single, Random or Program. If erasing
is attempted in such modes, Cannot ERASE! will be
displayed.

Refreshing a disc
If a CD-RW disc has been corrupted at any point (e.g.
power has been cut off in the middle of a finalize opera-
tion, etc.), or has been used in a computer or another piece
of equipment that makes it unreadable, it is possible to
“refresh” the disc to make it usable again.
