Guidance—MD Group Functions

To add to the conventional MD Editing functions (called the track editing functions in this manual), MD Group functions help you to classify the tracks by making groups on your MD.

Classifying the tracks on an MD

MDLP enables you to record more tracks on a single MD than usual. So, there are many tracks which have been recorded from the various sources—CDs, FM, and so on—on your MD.

In that case, if you can classify the tracks by source, by album, or by artist, the playback of your favorite songs becomes much easier.

Track No.
1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
A	B	B	B	B	B	C	C	D	E
Track
1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
A	B	B	B	B	B	C	C	D	E
		Group 1				Group 2			Group 3

In the figure above, as an example, there are 5 different genres (from A to E) of tracks on the MD. Using MD Group functions, you can form a group by genre B tracks as Group 1.

By forming groups on the MD, you can classify the tracks by each genre—the album title, the artist, etc. You can also assign a name to each group (see pages 59 and 60).

Using MD Group functions

MD Group functions consist of Group play, Group recording and Group editing.

•Group play (see page 30):

You can play back and repeat the desired group without making a program: For example, you can play back repeatedly genre B tracks by selecting Group 1 in the left figure.

•Group recording (see page 39):

You can form a group while tracks are being recorded.

•Group editing:

You can edit the groups using the following functions:

- Forming a group	(FORM GR)
- Adding a track to a group	(ENTRY GR)
- Dividing a group	(DIVIDE GR)
- Joining two groups	(JOIN GR)
- Moving a group	(MOVE GR)
- Ungrouping tracks	(UNGROUP)
- Dissolving all groups	(UNGR ALL)
- Erasing tracks in a group	(ERASE GR)

How to make up Groups

You can make up groups using two methods: Forming-a- group function and Group recording function.

•Forming-a-group function—FORM GR: Select this when you want to make groups after recording (see page 47).

•Group recording function:

Select this when you want to record and group tracks at the same time (see page 39).

About information concerning MD Group functions

Once you edit an MD using MD Group functions, the MD is assigned some characters as the information concerning MD Group functions. These characters appear only when you play back the MD using the equipment incompatible with MD Group functions. If you edit the characters using such equipment, the groups on the MD will be dissolved.
