1 Disc name: “Favorites”.

2Group name for tracks 1 to 5: “Rock”.

3 Group name for tracks 6 to 9: “Pops”.

Therefore, the above character string is displayed in its entirety as the disc name if you load an MD recorded in group mode into a system that does not support group mode, or if you try to edit the contents of a disc on this recorder with the group mode turned off.

It is possible to change the character string by doing “Relabeling recordings” procedure in the “Labeling/relabeling recordings” (page 50). Note that if you rewrite this character string by mistake, you may be unable to use the group function of that MD.
