The MD recorder features two disc maintenance functions which optimize performance of MDs. The TOC Write function allows you to write the result of editing to the TOC without having to eject the disc. The FRA Check function recovers recordable space on a disc that may have been lost because of repeated editing operations.

TOC Write

When making a recording, the TOC (Table Of Contents) of the MD is written as soon as recording is finished. When making an editing or titling operation, however, the TOC isn’t automatically written unless the disc is ejected. If the MD recorder is accidentally turned off before writing the result of editing to the TOC, it is possible that these changes will not be saved. By using this function, you can ensure that the result of your edition is saved on the disc.

1 Press to stop the MD recorder.

2 Press MD EDIT repeatedly to display “TOC Write ?”, then press ENTER.

* “TOC WriteOK?” appears on the display.

3 Press ENTER.

* “TOC Writing” flashes on the display momentarily.

Notes

You cannot undo the result of editing once it has been written to the TOC.

The TOC Write function can only be selected when the TOC indicator is lit on the display.

FRA Check

When editing operations such as “Move” and “Divide” are performed, recordable space may be lost and “TOC Full” may appear on the display to indicate that no more recording can be performed. When this occurs, it may be possible to recover the FRA (Freely Recordable Area) on the disc that was lost by repeated editing operations so that more recording is possible.
