RECORDING
■ Differences from tape recordings
CD
MD
You cannot record music on the reverse side
of a MiniDisc.
MiniDiscs are single sided and should only be inserted
with the correct side up.
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 (possible 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 fin-
ished.
The date and time of a recording are automat-
ically saved with the recording.
If you have set the date and time, they will be automat-
ically recorded when a recording is made.
■ 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 MD 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.
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
recording or editing being performed. (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 turn the power off.
Do NOT unplug the power lead whilst the TOC is being recorded ("TOC" is flashing)
and do NOT impart shock to the unit. Otherwise, TOC will not be correctly recorded,
and consequently proper playback may not be possible.
■ About track numbers
When recording from a CD
New track numbers will be created automatically according to the original tracks
(Synchro mark function).
● When you record from a CD to a MiniDisc, the track numbers recorded on the
MiniDisc may not match the track numbers on the CD.
If this happens, correct the track numbers using the DIVIDE (page 38) and
COMBINE (page 38) functions after recording.
Recordings cannot be made in the following situations.
● If you try recording on a playback-only MiniDisc (commercially available music)
● If a MiniDisc is protected against accidental erasure (Page 49)
● If there is no more recording time left on the disc (Page 50)
● When the "TOC FULL" message appears (Page 50)
● If a disc’s TOC has been damaged
● If you are trying to copy a digital signal that has been encoded with the SCMS
signal (Serial Copy Management System)
Notes:
● When recording important selections, be sure to make a preliminary test to en-
sure that the desired material is being properly recorded.
● The VOLUME and X-BASS controls may be adjusted with no effect to the re-
corded signal. (Variable Sound Monitor)
