7 – CD TEXT
When discs containing CD TEXT are played back on
the CD-RW402, you can view titles of discs and of
artists (as explained in "Time display modes" on
page 21).
In addition, drive 2 allows you to record your own
disc and track titles and artists onto recordable discs.
Each disc can have a title and artist associated with it,
as can each track on the disc.Remember that not
every player is equipped to read this information.
Ejecting discs with CD TEXT data
When a disc is ejected, the edited data (or the data
that has been read from the disc) is cleared from the
editing area (text data is also lost when the power is
turned off).
However, there is a temporary storage area into
which the text data can be stored when the disc is
ejected.
If text data exists in the unit, and the
key (2) is pressed, instead of the usual
the display shows
