GP (group) assumption on this unit

This unit recognizes single tracks and multiple tracks between groups as groups (GP), even they were not registered as such by your MD recorder. The “GP” numbers are allotted to those tracks as well as the registered groups. The indication of “GP” number lights up in the display window, if the group is changed on an MD during playback.
