Using CD text

You can name a CD-R or CD-RW so that when you load the disc into the player, the disc name, track title, or artist name can appear in the display. Each title can be up to 120 characters long, including spaces. You can store all the text (up to 2000 characters) for up to three non-finalized discs in the recorder at one time. This is useful when you want to edit the text during another recording session with the same disc.

Be careful: When you set text for a fourth disc, the oldest text information (for the first disc) is deleted from memory.

Once you finalize a CD-R, you can’t change the text information. With CD-RW discs, text is deleted when you erase the corresponding track.

You can input characters using the front panel, remote control, or a connected IBM-compatible PC keyboard (see page 10).

1Make sure the disc you want to name is loaded into the recorder and is

stopped.

For track names: Before proceeding to step 2, you must choose the track you want to name by turning the jog dial. You can also name tracks during playback.

3Wait two seconds after making your

selection, or press ENTER.

If the disc doesn't already have a name, the character display is blank, with a blinking cursor on the first character.

4Select/change the character at the current cursor position by turning

the jog dial.
