• MD editing is only possible on MD deck B.

If “PLAY BACK” or “DISC PROTECTED” appears when you try to edit an MD
You cannot edit such MDs. See page 57.
You can also assign titles to MDs and/or tracks (See page 44.)
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.
