Group Recording and Group Playback

Group recording

Since this MD portable recorder adopts the 4 times long
recording mode, you can record many tracks on one MD
(supporting MDLP).

When using group recording and group playback

You can record tracks by the group of artists or albums,
etc. That MD can be played by selecting the group.

When the group mode is selected for recording, tracks
are played by the group, starting with the first track of the
group.

When the group mode is cancelled, tracks will be num-
bered sequentially from the beginning.
