Joining divided songs together (Song Combine)
Song Combine is an operation that joins two previously-divided songs to create a single song.
1. Press the EDIT button, rotate the DATA dial to make the display read Song
Combn, and press the ENTER button.
The display will indicate the numbers of the two songs that are to be joined.
2. Rotate the DATA dial to select the songs that will be joined.
To join songs 3 and 4, select “Cmbn 3+4.” If the display indicates “Cmbn *+*” the Song Com-
bine operation cannot be executed.
3. Press the ENTER button.
The display will ask “Cmbn EXE?” If you decide to cancel the Song Combine operation at this
point, press the EXIT button.
4. Press the ENTER button once again to execute the Song Combine operation.
After the songs have been combined, the TOC will automatically be updated.
If markers have been placed in the two songs being joined, the marker locations will remain in
the newly-joined song. (Marker numbers will be updated automatically.) However since the
point at which the songs were joined will be inserted as a new marker, the total number of
markers in the song will be one more than the total number of markers in the two songs.
Note: When a song is divided, the song numbers of all subsequent songs will be updated. For
example if you divide song 1, the first part of the divided song will be Song 1, the remainder
will be Song 2, and the previous Song 2 will be renumbered as Song 3.
Note: Separately-recorded songs cannot be joined.
