SELECTING THE GROUP OR TRACK MODE

Data on the HDD

The data recorded onto the built-in HDD of this unit will be numbered and organized based on the following concept:

Group

A collection of disc(s), album(s), and a bookmark are generically called “group”.

Disc

One consequent recording is counted and numbered as one unit of disc. The HDD of this unit can record 999 discs at maximum. (However, the number of discs to be created may be less than 999 for the space availability on the HDD.) The maximum length of one disc on the HDD is 179 minutes 59 seconds.

Album

A group of the source programs selected from different discs and recorded as the playlist is called “album”. “Album” corresponds to the “program” function (to play back favorite tracks in the desired order) of a standard CD player. This unit can record 999 albums at maximum onto the HDD.

Bookmark

This unit can make a temporary bookmark on a favorite track as playing back. The list of the program sources marked is called “bookmark”. This marking is temporary and cannot be duplicated. However, an album can be easily created by copying the bookmarked tracks (P.54).

Track

99 tracks can be recorded onto a disc at maximum. (However the number of discs tracks to be recorded may be less than 99 for the space availability on the HDD.) One track must be 4 seconds at shortest and 179 minutes 59 seconds at longest.
