1Disc name: “Favorites”

2Group name for tracks 1 to 5: “Rock”

3Group 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 group mode turned off.

It is possible to change the character string by doing “Relabeling recordings” procedure in the “Labeling/relabeling recordings” (page 37). Note that if you rewrite this character string by mistake, you may be unable to use the group function of that MD.

Notes

•The group function setting is stored even if you eject the MD or turn off the recorder.

•In group mode, the recorder treats all tracks without group settings as belonging to the last group on the disc. The last group is indicated in the display window on the recorder as “GP --”. Within a group, the tracks appear in their order on the disc, not their order within the group.
