Using the group
function when
recording
What is the group function?
The group function is provided to allow
playback of discs with group settings. The
group function is convenient for playback
of discs on which several albums or CD
singles have been recorded.
What is a disc with group
settings?
The recorder can operate various
functions in units of group; that is tracks
that have been recorded on a disc as part
of separate groups, as shown below.
You can create a maximum of 255 groups
on a Hi-MD disc or a standard disc in Hi-
MD mode and 99 groups on a standard
disc in MD mode.
It will not be possible to make a group setting if
the tracks, groups and disc name on a disc
exceed the maximum number that can be input
(in MD mode only).
The recorder is factory set to create a new
group automatically by sliding zREC to
the right. This is convenient when
recording several CDs in succession. You
can check the group recording setting as
follows.
While the recorder is stopped, enter the
menu and select “REC Set” - “ :REC” -
“ : REC On” (“REC Settings” - “Group
REC” - “GroupREC On” on the remote
control).
To record without creating a
new group
Select “ :REC Off” (“GroupREC Off
”
on the remote control) at the end of the
procedure above.
