NOTES

If the display shows Name Full, it means that the character limit for a title (99 characters) or for a disc (1,792 characters) has been exceeded.

If a disc has been titled on another MD recorder, which permits longer titles than those permitted by the MD-801, the titles, when edited on the MD-801, are subject to the same limitations as those imposed on “native” titles.

If a title has already been entered, for a disc or for a track, pressing the EDIT key and turning the DATA dial until TITLE ? is displayed allows you to edit it, to change characters, and insert or delete char- acters as described above.

If the title is too long to fit in the display, pressing the TITLE key once more will scroll it across the display.
