As far as I know, the S/PDIF standard does NOT support the transfer of
titles. I heard here ones on this list that there is a Kenwood CD and
a Kenwood MD deck that are able to transfer CDText titles to the MD by
using the optical cable, but that's a non standard use of the cable.
For the 7xx, there's a sollution using a PC and a little box with hardware that
will help you title. Look at the minidisc communitie pages for more information!
Cheers,
