MDs to Recording

— Group Function

The Group function allows you to play, record and edit the tracks on an MD in groups. This is convenient for managing multiple CD albums recorded in MDLP mode onto a single MD. The Group function is turned on and off by pressing GROUP ON/OFF.

Group Function: Off

Disc

Track
	1			2	3	4	5	6		7		8		9
Group Function: On
				Disc

			Group 1							Group 2
	Track								Track

		1		2	3	4	5		1		2		3	4

Operations using the Group function

•Playing only the tracks in the desired group (page 22)

•Naming a group (page 31)

•Registering recorded tracks into a new group (page 32)

•Releasing track group registrations (page 32)

Note

MDs recorded using the Group function of this deck can be used with other system that supports the Group function. However, note that the Group function operations of other system may differ from the operations for this deck.

When recording using the Group function, the group management information is automatically recorded on the MD as the disc name. Specifically, a character string such as the following is written in the disc name recording area.

Disc name recording area

0 ; Favorites // 1 – 5 ; Rock // 6 – 9 ; Pops // ...

1 2 3

1 The disc name is “Favorites”.

2 Tracks 1 to 5 are registered in the “Rock” group.

3Tracks 6 to 9 are registered in the “Pops” group.

Therefore, when an MD recorded using the Group function is loaded on a system that does not support the Group function or on this deck with the Group function turned off, the above character string is displayed in its entirety as the disc name.

Note that if you perform the procedure for “Renaming a track or an MD” on page 30 and rewrite this character string by mistake, you may be unable to use the Group function of that MD.1)

1)The GROUP ON/OFF button flashes. To use the Group function again, first perform the procedure for “Releasing the registrations of all tracks on an MD” on page 33 and release the registrations of all tracks on the MD.

Notes

•The Group function setting is stored even if you eject the MD or turn off the deck.

•When the Group function is activated, tracks which are not registered to a group are not displayed and cannot be played.

•You cannot change the group order.

•If you load a disc with group management information written in other than the proper format, the GROUP ON/OFF button flashes. In this case you cannot use the Group function.

All of the functions described here can be used even when the Group function is on (MDSJE770 only). For a detailed description of the Group function, see page 12.

This deck has two long time recording modes: LP2 and LP4 (MDLP recording). When recording in LP2 Stereo mode, you can record 2 times the normal recordable time, and in LP4 Stereo mode, you can record 4 times the normal recordable time. In addition, the recordable time for monaural recording is approximately double the stereo recording time.

LP4 Stereo mode (4× long time recording mode) achieves a long stereo recording time by use of a special compression system. When placing emphasis on sound quality, Stereo recording or LP2 Stereo recording (2× long time recording mode) is recommended.

1 Do steps 1 to 4 of “Recording to an MD” on page 11.

2 Press REC MODE repeatedly to select the recording mode.

To record in	Set REC MODE to
Stereo	Blank (No indicator)

LP2 Stereo	LP2

LP4 Stereo	LP4

Monaural	MONO

3 Do steps 5 to 8 of “Recording to an MD” on page 11.

Tips

•The MDLP indicator lights up when you select LP2 or LP4 in step 2 above.

•The deck is set at the factory to add “LP:” at the beginning of a track name automatically. This indication is displayed when the track is played on a deck that does not support long-time recording.

To turn off this function, do the following procedure.

1While the deck is stopped, playing, or paused, press MENU/NO.

2Turn AMS (or press ./> repeatedly) until “Setup?” appears, then press AMS or YES.

3Turn AMS (or press ./> repeatedly) until “LPstamp On” (factory setting) appears, then press AMS or YES.

4Turn AMS (or press ./> repeatedly) to select “LPstamp Off”, and then press AMS or YES.

5Press MENU/NO.

To add “LP:” automatically again, select “LPstamp On” in step 4 above.

Notes

•The recorded “LP:” is a stamp which appears to indicate that the track cannot be played back when you try to play the track on a system that does not support MDLP mode. It does not appear for systems that support MDLP mode.

•When set to “On”, “LP:” is recorded as the track name, so the number of characters that can be input to an MD is reduced. If you divide an “LP:” track using the Divide function, “LP:” is also added to the latter track.

•The selected recording mode is kept even after recording has finished, so be sure to check the recording mode before recording.

•Tracks recorded in MDLP (LP2 or LP4) Stereo mode cannot be played back on a system that does not support MDLP mode.

•Even if you press REC MODE during recording, you cannot change the recording mode.

•Even if you press REC MODE repeatedly to select MONO, the monitor signal during recording does not become monaural.

•You cannot use S.F Edit and some other MD edit functions for tracks recorded in MDLP mode.

Tips for automatic track marking

•When recording from a CD player or an MD deck connected to the DIGITAL IN connector, the entire material might be recorded as a single track in the following cases:

—When you consecutively record the same track two or more times using single-track repeat play.

—When you consecutively record two or more tracks with the same track number but from different CDs or MDs.

—When you record tracks from certain CD or multi-disc players.

•A track number might not be marked for tracks less than 4 seconds long (in Stereo mode, Monaural mode, and LP2 Stereo mode) or 8 seconds long (in LP4 Stereo mode) during recording.

•When recording from a component connected to the ANALOG IN jacks with “T.Mark Off” selected or when recording from a DAT deck or DBS tuner connected to the DIGITAL IN connector, the entire material may be recorded as a single track.
