MD4S TOC
TOC refers to the Table of Contents area on the disc. The TOC contains information about
what is recorded on the disc, the disc title, song titles, and so on.
When you record a new song or edit the song title, the TOC EDIT indicator of the MD4S will
light to indicate that the TOC needs to be updated.
If the TOC EDIT indicator is lit, you must update the TOC before turning off the power of the
MD4S. If the power is turned off when the TOC EDIT indicator is lit, the data you recorded or
edited will be lost.
To update the TOC
Press the STOP button, and with the MD4S stopped, press the TOC WRITE button. (The
STOP button and the TOC WRITE button are the same button.)
The display will show “Writing TOC,” indicating that the TOC is being written to disc. When
the TOC has been updated, the “Writing TOC” display and the TOC EDIT indicator will go
dark.
Recording modes and recording times
The MD4S offers three recording modes: 4-track (4TR), 2-track (2TR), and monaural
(MONO). The times available for recording on a single disc will depend on the recording
mode. Available recording/playback times will be 37 minutes in 4TR mode, 74 minutes in 2TR
mode, and 148 minutes in MONO mode. You can use a different recording mode for each
song, which allows you to make the most efficient use of each disc.
Note: If you press the EJECT button while the TOC EDIT indicator is lit, the TOC will
automatically be updated before the disc is ejected.
