TIPS
About titles for recordings from the radio
All tracks created from the start to the end of the
recording are treated as a single playlist (recorded
data). Each track recorded from the radio is given
title as shown below.
How titles are added (example)

≥When audio is recorded with the scheduled timer
function (➜ page 78), recording will start slightly
earlier than the set time to prevent cutting off the
beginning of the recording. Therefore, the playlist
will be given a name that is one minute earlier
than the set recording time.
≥After recording is complete, you can manually
change the title or you can search and obtain title
information from the Gracenote database
(➜ page 66).
