Operations using the Group
Function
• Playing only the tracks in the desired group
(page 13)
• Recording a CD (page 15)
• Recording a tape (page 16)
• Recording on an MD manually (page 17)
• Starting recording with 6 seconds of prestored
audio data (page 18)
• Labeling a group (page 25)
• Creating a new group (page 27)
• Releasing group registrations (page 28)
Note
MDs recorded using the Group Function of this system
can be used with other system that supports the Group
Function. However, note that the Group Function
operations of other system may differ from the
operations for this system.
How is group information
recorded?
When recording using the Group Function, the
group management information is automatically
recorded on the MD as the disc title.
Specifically, a character string such as the
following is written in the disc title recording
area.
Disc title recording area
1The disc title is “Favorites”.
2Tracks 1 to 5 are registered in the “Rock”
group.
3Tracks 6 to 9 are registered in the “Pops”
group.
Therefore, when an MD recorded using the
Group Function is loaded on a system that does
not support the Group Function or on this system
with the Group Function turned off, the above
character string is displayed in its entirety as the
disc title.
Note that if you rewrite this character
string by mistake using the Name
Function, you may be unable to use the
Group Function of that MD.
*
* “GROUP” flashes. To use the Group Function again,
first perform the procedure for “Releasing all groups
on an MD” (page 28) and release the registrations of
all tracks on the MD.
If “Group Full!” appears during
operation
You cannot start recording because there is
insufficient character space for group
management. Delete unnecessary characters
(disc title or track titles) until group recording is
possible (page 26).
Notes
• The Group Function setting is stored even if you
eject the MD or turn off the system.
• When the Group Function is on, tracks which are not
registered to a group are not displayed and cannot be
played.
• You cannot change the group order.
• The new group is added after any existing groups
with tracks registered.
• When you newly record a track into an existing
group, the new track is added after any existing
tracks in the group.
• Up to 99 groups can be registered on a single MD.
• When you newly record a track into an existing
group, the track numbers following the newly
recorded track may change when the Group Function
is turned off.
• If you load a disc with group management
information written in other than the proper format,
“GROUP” flashes. In this case you cannot use the
Group Function.
