Recording CD tracks on
an MD as group tracks
— Group Function
About Group Function
With the MDLP recording feature, you can record a number of albums to separate groups on a single MD, and then play them back and manage them by means of the display information that shows the group titles and each numbered track (each group begins with track 1). Pressing GROUP ON/OFF on the remote switches the Group function on and off.

Operations using the group function
•“Playing tracks in a group” on page 17
•“Labeling a group” on page 31
•“Registering
•“Releasing group tracks” on page 33
Note
An MD recorded with the group function in this system can be played on another system that has the group function as well. In this case, the function may operate differently, depending on the recording method.
How group tracks are registered
The group function information is registered in the TOC of the MD as the “disc name” in the following example.
Example of registration of group tracks
1The disc name is labeled as “Favorites.”
2Tracks 1 to 5 are registered in the “Rock” group.
3Tracks 6 to 9 are registered in the “Pops” group.
If the MD recorded with the group function on this system is played on another system that does not support the group function, the disc name, including the group information (such as that in the example above), scrolls across the display.
Note that if the disc title is edited with the Name function, the Group function may not operate properly.
Notes
•The group information is written to the TOC when the MD is ejected or the system is turned off.
•While the Group function is on,
•The order of groups cannot be changed.
•If group information on an MD is not recorded properly, it will not be possible to play the MD with the Group function.
