ABOUT THE TOC

The TOC (an abbreviation for Table of Con- tents) is information about the track num- bers and recorded areas that allow the unit to find musical selections or sounds. The entire MD is controlled by the information in this TOC, which enables the unit to find the beginning of a track quickly or to record automatically in a vacant area.

The TOC is recorded in a specific area on a MiniDisc, which is not used for sound recording.

When is the TOC recorded?

The revised TOC will be recorded on the disc automatically when you press the /:OFF button whilst in the stop mode. This will also turn the power to this unit off.
