Sharp MD-MT821 - Manual (Page 21)

The TOC (an abbreviation for Table of Contents) is information about the track numbers
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.
About TOC recording
When you start recording or editing,
"TOC" will appear in the display.
This indicates that information in the TOC
is now being changed according to record-
ing or editing being performed.
The changed TOC information will not
be recorded on the MiniDisc right
away.
Notes:
While “TOC” is displayed, the MiniDisc
should not be removed. Turn the power
off first, and then remove the MiniDisc.
The edited contents can be stored on
the disc after several editing steps have
been performed.
When is the TOC recorded?
The revised TOC will be recorded on the
disc automatically when you press the
button while in the stop mode. this
will also turn the power to this unit off.
The power will be turned off after the TOC
has been recorded on the disc.
Caution:
While “TOC” or “TOC EDIT!” is dis-
played, do not do any of the following.
- Do not jar or bump the main unit.
- Do not unplug the AC adaptor.
- Do not remove the rechargeable bat-
tery or battery case.
If you do, the changes in the recorded
or edited contents will be lost if the TOC
information is not recorded properly.
If the AC adaptor is unplugged or a
power failure occurs while recording (be-
fore the TOC information has been writ-
ten on the disc), the new recording will
be erased.
When a new recording is added to a
MiniDisc in a position where TOC infor
mation already exists, the added record-
ing will be erased.
