MINIDISC RECORDING

■Differences from tape recordings

You cannot record music on the reverse side of a Mini- Disc.

MiniDiscs are single sided and should only be inserted with the correct side up in the direction of the arrow on the top of the MiniDisc.

You don't need to search for the starting 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 (pos- sible 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 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.

the sound

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 the recording or editing being per- formed. (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 re- corded ("TOC" is flashing) and do NOT impart shock to the unit. Otherwise, TOC will not be correctly recorded, and con- sequently proper playback may not be possible.

●When you record from a CD to a MiniDisc, the track num- bers recorded on the MiniDisc may not match the track numbers on the CD.

If this happens, correct the track numbers using the DI- VIDE (page 29) and COMBINE (page 29) functions after recording.

Recordings cannot be made in the following situa- tions.

●If you try recording on a playback-only MiniDisc (commer- cially available music MiniDisc).

●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" message appears (page 39).

●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 be- ing properly recorded.

●The VOLUME, X-BASS, EQUALIZER and SURROUND controls can be adjusted during recording, with no effect on the recorded signal.
