Organizing your songs
Section 1
Protecting a song (Song Protect)
Even if you have saved an important song to the BR-1600CD’s
hard disk, there is always a possibility that you can
accidentally overwrite audio data and loose irreplaceable
recordings. However, you can use the Song Protect function to
ensure that valuable audio data is protected from being
overwritten.
The message “Save Current?” may be displayed during
the following process. This occurs when the current song
contains audio data, edits, or settings that have not been
saved, and you should press [ENTER/YES] if you want
to save these now. If this will not be necessary, press
[EXIT/NO]. It is important to note, however, that if you
do not save the song at this time, all such audio data,
edits, and settings will be lost and the song will be
restored to its last saved condition.
