To Activate Group Mode (Group Mode Recording); Recording A Track Into A New Group - Sony MZ-N505 Operating Instructions Manual

How is group information
recorded?
When recording in group mode, the group
information is written to the disc name
recording area.
This information consists of text strings
that are written as shown in the following
example.
Disc name recording area
Example
0; Favorites//y -5; Rack//6-9; Pops//
0
0 0
0
1 Disc name: "Favorites"
@ Group name for tracks 1 to 5: "Rock"
@ Group name for tracks 6 to 9: "Pops"
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
group mode turned off.
It is possible to change the
character string by doing
"Relabeling recordings" procedure
in the "Labeling/relabeling
recordings" (page 37). Note that if
you rewrite this character string by
mistake, you may be unable to use
the group function of that MD.

without group settings as belonging to the last
group ou the disc. The last group is indicated
in the display window on the recorder as
"cp -"# Within a group, the tracks appear in
their order on the disc, not their order within
the group.
