playback mode is on, playback starts from the start of
the next track.

TOC Editing (drive 1 only)

The concept of TOC editing may need a little expla-
nation. Although a finalized (non-recordable CD) has
its Table Of Contents (TOC) fixed, it is possible to
“fool” drive 1 into believing that the TOC is actually
different from the real disc’s TOC.

This is done by editing the existing TOC and creating
a “virtual” TOC which is the table of contents for a
“virtual disc”, that is, one which does not actually
exist.

It is possible, for instance, to combine tracks, to split
tracks into two, or to erase a track from the TOC. It is
also possible to redefine the start point and end point
of a track.

A disc whose virtual TOC differs from its physical
TOC can be recognized by the

NO TOC

indicator

flashing in the display.

When the disc is played back, this virtual TOC is
used, and it may therefore be used when recording a
disc with a different TOC from that of the original.

The virtual TOC is lost when the drive tray is opened
or when power is turned off.

NOTE

The normal “Red Book” rules still apply. No more than
99 tracks may exist in the virtual TOC, and they must
each be at least four seconds in length.

In all these operations, remember that pressing STOP
is equivalent to answering “no” when you are asked
if an operation is to be performed.

All TOC editing operations except clearing the vir-
tual TOC must be performed in play ready (or play)
mode.
