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.

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.

■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 lead whilst 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.

■About track numbers

When recording from a CD

New track numbers will be created automatically according to the original tracks (Synchro mark func- tion).

●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 36) and COMBINE (page 36) functions after recording.

Recordings cannot be made in the follow- ing situations.

●If you try recording on a playback-only MiniDisc (commercially available music)

●If a MiniDisc is protected against accidental erasure (Page 44)

●If there is no more recording time left on the disc (Page 45)

●When the “TOC FULL ” message appears (Page 47)

●If a disc’s TOC has been damaged

●If you are trying to copy a digital signal that has been encoded with the SCMS signal (Serial Copy Management System)

Notes:

●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)
