Disc Maintenance

This unit features two disc maintenance functions which optimize performance of your MD discs. The TOC WRITE function allows you to write any edits 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 multiple edit operations. The diagram below applies to the procedures for both TOC WRITE and FRA CHECK functions.

TOC WRITE

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

Notes

•You cannot undo an edit once it has been written to the TOC.

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

FRA CHECK

When edit functions such as “MOVE” and “DIVIDE” are performed, spaces of recordable space may be lost and “TOC Full” may appear in 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 during edit functions so that more recording is possible.
