RECORDING
Differences from tape recordings
You cannot record music on the re-
verse side of a MiniDisc.
MiniDiscs are single sided and should
only be inserted with the correct side up.
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.
Area for TOC (recording track
numbers, track names, etc.)
Disc writing (TOC)
The TOC (Table of Contents) is information on track
numbers and recording areas to allow the unit to
recognize musical selections or sounds.
The entire MD is controlled depending on this TOC,
which enables the unit to find the beginning of a
track quickly or to automatically 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 enter the stand-by mode.
Do NOT unplug the power cord while the TOC is
being recorded ("TOC" is flashing) and do NOT
impart shock to the unit. Otherwise, TOC will not
be correctly recorded, and consequently proper
playback may not be possible.

When recording from a CD
New track numbers will be created automatically
according to the original tracks (Synchro mark func-
tion).
Recordings cannot be made in the follow-
ing situations.

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.

About track numbers
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 28) and COMBINE (page 28)
functions after recording.
If you try recording on a playback-only MiniDisc
(commercially available music)
If a MiniDisc is protected against accidental
erasure (Page 36)
If there is no more recording time left on the disc
(Page 37)
When the "TOC FULL
(Page 39)
If a disc's TOC has been damaged
Under certain circumstances, when you are try-
ing to copy a digital signal that has been encoded
with the SCMS signal (Serial Copy Management
System)
When recording important selections, be sure to
make a preliminary test to ensure that the
desired material is being properly recorded.
The VOLUME, X-BASS, EQUALIZER and SUR-
ROUND controls may be adjusted with no effect
to the recorded signal. (Variable Sound Monitor)
