It is convenient for managing multiple CD
albums recorded in MDLP (LP2 stereo/
LP4 stereo) mode onto a single MD. You
can create a maximum of 99 groups on a
disc.
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
group mode turned off.
It is possible to change the
character string by doing
“Relabeling recordings” (page 36)
procedure in the “Labeling/
relabeling recordings”. Note that if
you rewrite this character string by
mistake, you may be unable to use
the group function of that MD.
Notes
The group function setting is stored even if
you eject the MD or turn off the recorder.
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 “GP
--”. Within a group, the tracks appear in their
order on the disc, not their order within the
group.
