What is the Group function?
The Group function allows you to play, record
and edit the tracks on an MD in groups. This is
convenient for managing multiple CD albums
recorded in MDLP mode onto a single MD.
The Group function is turned on and off by
pressing GROUP ON/OFF.
Group Function: Off
Group Function: On
Operations using the Group function
• Playing only the tracks in the desired group
(page 23)
• Naming a group (page 34)
• Creating a new group and registering tracks
(page 35)
• Releasing group registrations (page 36)
Note
MDs recorded using the Group function of this deck
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 deck.
How is group information
recorded?
When recording using the Group function, the
group management information is automatically
recorded on the MD as the disc name.
Specifically, a character string such as the
following is written in the disc name recording
area.
Disc name recording area
1 The disc name is “Favorites.”
2 Tracks 1 to 5 are registered in the “Rock”
group.
3 Tracks 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 deck
with the Group function turned off, the above
character string is displayed in its entirety as the
disc name.
Note that if you perform the procedure
for “Renaming a track or an MD” on
page 33 and rewrite this character string
by mistake, you may be unable to use
the Group function of that MD.

1) The GROUP ON/OFF button flashes. To use the
Group function again, first perform the procedure
for “Releasing the registrations of all tracks on an
MD” on page 37 and release the registrations of
all tracks on the MD.
Notes
• The Group function setting is stored even if you
eject the MD or turn off the deck.
• When the Group function is activated, tracks which
are not registered to a group are not displayed and
cannot be played.
• You cannot change the group order.
• If you load a disc with group management
information written in other than the proper format,
the GROUP ON/OFF button flashes. In this case you
cannot use the Group function.
