How is group information
recorded?
When recording in group mode, the group
information is written to the disc name
recording area automatically.
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 the
group mode turned off.
It is possible to change the
character string by doing
“Relabeling recordings” procedure
in the “Labeling/relabeling
recordings” (page 50). 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
“Group --”. Within a group, the tracks appear
in their order on the disc, not their order
within the group.
• 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.
