Recording tracks using
the Group Function
(Group mode recording)
What is the group function
(group mode)?
It is a function that allows you to separate
tracks on a disc into different groups for
playback, recording and editing.
It is convenient for managing multiple
CD albums recorded in MDLP (LP2
stereo/LP4 stereo) mode onto a single
MD.
How is group information
recorded?
When recording in group mode, the group
information is written to the disc name
recording area.
This information consists of text strings
that are written as shown in the following
example.
Disc name recording area
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.
Note that if you perform the
procedure for
To relabel
recordings
of
Labeling
recordings
(page 35) and rewrite
this character string by mistake,
you may be unable to use the
group function of that MD.
Note
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
Group -
-
. Within a group, the tracks appear in their
order on the disc, not their order within the
group.
