You can also assign titles to MDs and/or tracks (See page 34.)
A title can be assigned to a track or disc. Once a title is assigned, it is displayed in later playback for confirmation.
Each title can be composed of up to 64 characters, and can be input using alphabetic characters (uppercase and lowercase), symbols and numerals.
