ABOUT THE TOC

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.
