Before Recording to a MiniDisc |

■Differences from tape recordings
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.
■About track numbers
When recording from a CD
New track numbers will be created automatically according to the original tracks (Synchro mark function).

You do not need to search for the starting point of recording.
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) be- fore recording.
This lets you plan a recording session so that the last song will not come to an abrupt end.
■Disc writing (TOC)
The TOC (Table of Contents) is information on track numbers and recording areas to allow the unit to recognise musical selections or sounds.
The entire MiniDisc 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 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 38) and COM- BINE (page 38) functions after recording.
Recordings cannot be made in the following situations.
●If you try recording on a

●If there is no more recording space left on the disc (page 46).
●When the "TOC FULL" message appears (page 46).
●If a disc's TOC has been damaged.
Notes:
●When recording important selections, be sure to make a preliminary test to ensure that the desired material is being properly recorded.

■About ATRAC 3
The ATRAC (Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding) system compresses the sound data into 1/5 by cutting out the inaudible sound. Since the sound is selected based on psychoacoustics masking, the sound quality is not impaired.
This unit is equipped with the ATRAC 3 compressing system that can reduce the sound data to 1/10 or 1/20 of its original size.
By employing this system, 2 times and 4 times long recordings are enabled in stereo mode.
