MiniDiscs are single sided and should only be inserted with the correct side up. 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 finished. 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. s 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. ) q you stop recording. 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. Area for TOC (recording track numbers, track names, etc. ) Area for recording the sound The TOC is recorded when CD First track Track A MD First track Track A Second track Track B Second track Track B Third track Track C s About track numbers When recording from a CD New track numbers will be created automatically according to the original tracks (Synchro mark function). q 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. Third track Track C Recordings cannot be made in the following situations. q If you try recording on a playback-only MiniDisc (commercially available music) q If a MiniDisc is protected against accidental erasure (Page 49) q If there is no more recording time left on the disc (Page 50) q When the "TOC FULL " message appears (Page 50) (:Number or Symbol) q If a disc's TOC has been damaged q If you are trying to copy a digital signal that has been encoded with the SCMS signal (Serial Copy Management System) Notes: q When recording important selections, be sure to make a preliminary test to ensure that the desired material is being properly recorded. [. . . ] After "GOOD BYE" has gone out, unplug the AC power lead from the AC socket. MAINTENANCE s Internal care q Dirty heads, capstan or pinch roller can cause poor sound and tape jams. Clean these parts with a cotton swab moistened with commercial head/pinch roller cleaner or isopropyl alcohol. q After long use, the deck's heads and capstans may become magnetised, causing poor sound. Demagnetise these parts once every 30 hours of playing/recording time by using a commercial tape head demagnetiser. [. . . ]
