The contents to be deleted will remain stored in the memory until
they are cleared, even after the delete mode is canceled.
Therefore, after using delete play, it is possible to cancel the
delete mode and use another play mode (except program play)
and then still use the same delete play again at a later time.
In addition, if the disc is replaced with another one, delete play
will be carried out using the new disc. If non-existing entries oc-
cur at this time, they will be canceled.
For your reference:
The delete mode and the contents to be deleted will remain
stored in the memory even after the unit is switched off.
However, if the power Cord is unplugged or the power supply is
otherwise interrupted for an extended length of time, the con-
tents of the memory will be erased.
