Up to 99 tracks can be selected from a CD, or up to 25 tracks from an MD, for Program playback. 1 During stop mode, press the P. MODE key on the remote control until "PROGRAM" is indicated on the display. The program number and total program playing time will be shown on the character display.

[. . . ] When a new recordable MD disc is used, the "UTOC Reading" indication is displayed longer than usual. Even if a title is created with less than 7 characters, that amount of space is still taken up. Therefore, in actual use, you may not be able to input a total of 1, 700 characters. W hen elapsed recording time and remaining time are added up, it doesn't match the possible recording time of the MD disc. Normally, the shortest possible recording unit is 1 cluster (about 2 seconds). Even if the recording is less than this, 2 seconds of space is taken up on the disc, so the actual possible recording time may be less than expected. [. . . ]
