RECORDING
Differences from tape recordings
You cannot record music on the reverse side
of a MiniDisc.
MiniDiscs cannot be incorrectly inserted, i.e. upside
down. (Page 40)
You don't need to search for the starting
point at which to record.
The unit automatically finds the point at which re-
cording can start. Recording will start from that
point.
Disc writing (TOC)
MiniDiscs have one area in which the sound is recorded
and another area where track number, track name, and
disc name information is recorded.
Area for recording track
numbers, track names, etc.
Track numbers are created automatically
When recording from another CD or MD using the
digital connectors
When you make a digital recording from a CD player or
another MD player, new track numbers will be created au-
tomatically for each track, regardless of the amount of si-
lence between tracks. (Synchro marker 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.
When recording from digital equipment such as DAT tape
recorders, the synchro marker function will not work. The
auto marker function will work the same way it does
when recording from an analogue input.
When a DAT is recorded using the digital inputs and the
DAT mode (sampling frequency) changes during the re-
cording session, the track numbers will change.
Very occasionally, some noise may be recorded.
If this happens, you can edit out the noise after recording.
(Page 27)
First the sound is recorded on a MiniDisc, and then the informa-
tion (TOC: Table of Contents) for finding the tracks is recorded.
This TOC is vitally necessary for playback. Tracks can be edited
by rewriting the TOC. When the ON/STAND-BY button is pressed
to enter the stand-by mode or when the
remove the Minidisc, the current version of the TOC will be written
on the disc. Therefore, after pressing the ON/STAND-BY button,
do not jar the main unit. It may not be possible to perform play-
back properly if the TOC is not written correctly on the disc.

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. (Pages 20, 22)
The date and time of a recording are
automatically saved with the recording.
If you have set the date and time, they will be
automatically recorded when a recording is made.
(Page 10)
When recording from analogue inputs
When making an analogue recording, if there is 1.5 sec-
onds or more of silence, the blank space is assumed to
be the space between tracks, and a new track number will
be created automatically.
This is called the auto marker function.
By creating track numbers, you can locate the beginning
of the tracks.

If you do not use the auto marker function, you can
record musical selections as a single track.
