To add to the conventional MD Editing functions (called the track
editing functions in this manual), MD Group functions help you to
classify the tracks by making groups on your MD.
Classifying the tracks on an MD
MDLP enables you to record more tracks on a single MD than
usual. So, there are many tracks which have been recorded from
the various sources—discs, FM, and so on—on your MD.
In that case, if you can classify the tracks by source, by album, or
by artist, the playback of your favorite songs becomes much easier.
In the figure above, as an example, there are 5 different genres
(from A to E) of tracks on the MD. Using MD Group functions,
you can form a group by genre B tracks as Group 1, genre C tracks
as Group 2, etc.
By forming groups on the MD, you can classify the tracks by each
genre—the album title, the artist, etc. You can also assign a name
to each group (see pages 68 to 70).
Using MD Groups as a separate item
You can enjoy playback, recording, and editing groups.
•
Playback (see page 40):
You can play back and repeat the desired group without making
a program: For example, you can play back repeatedly genre B
tracks by selecting Group 1 in the left figure—Group Play.
•
Recording (see page 45):
You can form a group while tracks are being recorded.
•
Editing:
You can edit the groups using the following functions:
– Forming a group (FORM GR)
– Adding a track to a group (ENTRY GR)
– Dividing a group (DIVIDE GR)
– Joining two groups (JOIN GR)
– Moving a group (MOVE GR)
– Ungrouping tracks (UNGROUP)
– Dissolving all groups (UNGR ALL)
– Erasing tracks in a group (ERASE GR)
How to make up Groups
You can make up groups using two methods: Forming a group
function and Group recording function.
•
Forming a group function—FORM GR:
Select this when you want to make groups after recording (see
page 56).
•
Group recording function:
Press GROUP REC ON/OFF to record and group tracks at the
same time (for details, see page 46).
