Managing songs by Program Change function

The recorder features Program Select function, which enables you to set up to 99 Programs on the disk.

When you format a disk, one Program will be automatically created on the disk. You may create more Programs, if necessary. You may also delete unnecessary Programs.

The recorder also features Program Change function that enables you to select one of the Programs set on the disk. Programs on the disk are something like independent containers. You can record, play, and edit each container without affecting other containers. You can also name Programs, which is useful for managing songs.

program 1	program 2	program 3
program 4	program 5	program 6
program 7	program 8	program 9

You can set up to 99 programs (independent containers).

<Note>

Total available recording time is always the maximum available recording time on the disk, regardless of the number of Programs you set on the disk. That is, if you use up the maximum recording time for one Program, you will not be able to record any data in other Programs.

<Note>

As described in the “REMAIN indicator,” creating additional Programs will consume a small amount of disk space.

<Note>

Such operations as program compilation and selecting, functions only when the "Chain Play MD?" menu in the SETUP mode, is "Off."
