MD4S TOC 11

MD4S TOC

TOC refers to the Table of Contents area on the disc. The TOC contains information about what is recorded on the disc, the disc title, song titles, and so on.

When you record a new song or edit the song title, the TOC EDIT indicator of the MD4S will light to indicate that the TOC needs to be updated.

TOC EDIT

If the TOC EDIT indicator is lit, you must update the TOC before turning off the power of the MD4S. If the power is turned off when the TOC EDIT indicator is lit, the data you recorded or edited will be lost.

To update the TOC

Press the STOP button, and with the MD4S stopped, press the TOC WRITE button. (The STOP button and the TOC WRITE button are the same button.)

STOP

TOC WRITE

The display will show “Writing TOC,” indicating that the TOC is being written to disc. When the TOC has been updated, the “Writing TOC” display and the TOC EDIT indicator will go dark.

Note: If you press the EJECT button while the TOC EDIT indicator is lit, the TOC will automatically be updated before the disc is ejected.

Recording modes and recording times

The MD4S offers three recording modes: 4-track (4TR), 2-track (2TR), and monaural (MONO). The times available for recording on a single disc will depend on the recording mode. Available recording/playback times will be 37 minutes in 4TR mode, 74 minutes in 2TR mode, and 148 minutes in MONO mode. You can use a different recording mode for each song, which allows you to make the most efficient use of each disc.
