RECORDING
■
Differences from tape recordings
CD
MD
You cannot record music on the
reverse side of a MiniDisc.
MiniDiscs are single sided and should only be
inserted with the correct side up. (Page 39)
You don’t need to search for the start-
ing point at which to record.
The unit automatically finds the point at which
recording can start. Recording will start from
that point.
You can check the total or remaining
recordable time (possible recording)
before recording.
This lets you plan a recording session so that
the last song will not come to an abrupt end
before it has finished. (Page 17)
The date and time of a recording are
automatically saved with the recording.
If you have set the date and time, they will
be automatically recorded when a recording
is made. (Page 6)
■
Disc writing (TOC)
The TOC (Table of Contents) is information on track numbers
and recording areas to allow the unit to recognize musical se-
lections or sounds.
The entire MD is controlled depending on this TOC, which en-
ables the unit to find the beginning of a track quickly or to auto-
matically record in a vacant area.
When you start recording or editing, "TOC" will appear in the
display window.
This indicates that information in the TOC is now being changed
according to recording or editing being performed. (The changed
TOC is not yet recorded on the MiniDisc at this time.)
The TOC is recorded when
●
you stop recording.
●
you switch to another input source.
●
you eject the MiniDisc.
●
you turn the power off.
Do NOT unplug the power lead whilst the TOC is being recorded
("TOC" is flashing) and do NOT impart shock to the unit. Other-
wise, TOC will not be correctly recorded, and consequently
proper playback may not be possible.

About track numbers
When recording from CD
New track numbers will be created automatically according to
the original tracks (Synchro maker function).
●
When you record from a CD to a MiniDisc, the track numbers
recorded on the MiniDisc may not match the track numbers
on the CD.
If this happens, correct the track numbers using the DIVIDE
(page 24) and COMBINE (page 25) functions after recording.
