About the MD group function
The group function is convenient to locate the
desired tracks within a group from a large
number of tracks, or tracks that have been
recorded in MDLP (LP2/LP4) mode.
Notes on MD group settings
• This unit is for MD playback only. For MD
recording and group settings, refer to the
operating instructions of your MD recorder.
• The same group name can be registered more
than twice on the same MD.
• Maximum group number is 99, though the
actual group number depends on your MD
recorder.
• Depending on your MD recorder, MD group
settings may not be available.
MD containing groups
* Groups: set by your MD recorder.
When you insert an MD in this unit, playback
starts automatically and follows track order.
GP (group) assumption on this unit
This unit recognizes single tracks and multiple
tracks between groups as groups (GP), even they
were not registered as such by your MD recorder.
The “GP” numbers are allotted to those tracks as
well as the registered groups. The indication of
“GP” number lights up in the display window, if
the group is changed on an MD during playback.
