Assigning Titles to an MD

You can assign a name to each MD and to each track using alphabetic characters (uppercase and lowercase), symbols and numerals. Once a title is assigned, it is displayed for your confirmation.

•You cannot edit titles composed of more than 61 characters.

About the number of characters inputted for an MD

The total number of characters that can be input for an MD is 1792, and the maximum number that can be input for each track is 61. (However, the actual number you can input may be slightly less than this maximum numbers due to the MD limitations – see page 67.)

•A space can be counted as one character.

•When the stereo long-hour recording (LP2 or LP4: see page

33)method is used for recording, the maximum number you can input for a track title automatically reduced since "LP:" and four spaces are automatically added to the beginning of the track title. Consequently this reduces the total number of characters you can input for an MD.

Example: You can input up to 10 characters for each track if an MD is composed of 120 tracks recorded using the stereo long-hour recording method.
