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 when recording. 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”.
To record without creating a
new group
Select “ :REC Off”
at the end of the
procedure above.
