EDITING
What the editing function can do
You can create original discs using the MD editing function, on which you can change the
order of the tracks and you can create disc or track names.
Playback-only MiniDiscs cannot be edited.
Discs and tracks (up to 255 tracks per disc) can be named. Since track names
are displayed when the beginning of each track is located or during playback,
you can quickly check the name of each track.
Letters (capital letters/lowercase letters), numbers and symbols can be used.
All of the characters and data on a recorded MD (master MD with tracks and
character information) can be transferred onto a recordable MD.

MINIDISC SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
MiniDiscs are recorded using a different system than is used for cassette tapes or DAT
recordings. Therefore, the following conditions may be encountered, depending on how
the disc has been recorded or edited. These are due to system limitations, and should be
considered normal.
