MDs (MiniDisc) let you digitally record and
play back music with high quality sound.
Another feature of MDs is track marking like
that on CDs. The track marking feature lets
you quickly locate a specific point or easily
edit the recorded tracks.
Also, the way the track numbers are recorded
differs depending on the source.
When the source you want to
record from is:
• This system's CD player
