Editing an MD
Guidance—MD Group Functions
English
To add to the conventional MD Editing functions (called the track editing functions in this manual), MD Group functions help you to classify the tracks by making groups on your MD.
Classifying the tracks on an MD
MDLP enables you to record more tracks on a single MD than usual. So, there are many tracks which have been recorded from the various
In that case, if you can classify the tracks by source, by album, or by artist, the playback of your favorite songs becomes much easier.

In the figure above, as an example, there are 5 different genres (from A to E) of tracks on the MD. Using MD Group functions, you can form a group by genre B tracks as Group 1, genre C tracks as Group 2, etc.
By forming groups on the MD, you can classify the tracks by each genre—the album title, the artist, etc. You can also assign a name to each group (see pages 68 to 70).
Using MD Groups as a separate item
You can enjoy playback, recording, and editing groups.
•Playback (see page 40):
You can play back and repeat the desired group without making a program: For example, you can play back repeatedly genre B tracks by selecting Group 1 in the left
•Recording (see page 45):
You can form a group while tracks are being recorded.
•Editing:
You can edit the groups using the following functions:
–Forming a group (FORM GR)
–Adding a track to a group (ENTRY GR)
–Dividing a group (DIVIDE GR)
–Joining two groups (JOIN GR)
–Moving a group (MOVE GR)
–Ungrouping tracks (UNGROUP)
–Dissolving all groups (UNGR ALL)
–Erasing tracks in a group (ERASE GR)
How to make up Groups
You can make up groups using two methods: Forming a group function and Group recording function.
