This function divides a track by adding a track marking(s) in the desired point(s) in the middle or where you want to search later.

If “PLAYBACK DISC” or “DISC PROTECTED” appears when you try to edit an MD
You cannot edit such MDs. See page 68.
You can also assign titles to MDs and/or tracks (See page 46.)
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 61 characters, and can be input using alphabetic characters (uppercase and lowercase), symbols and numerals.
