Before Recording To A Minidisc - Sharp CD-MD3000H Operation Manual

Before Recording to a MiniDisc

Disc writing (TOC)
The TOC (Table of Contents) is information on
track numbers and recording areas to allow the
unit to recognise musical selections or sounds.
The entire MiniDisc 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 the
recording or editing being performed. (The changed TOC is not yet recorded on the
MiniDisc at this time.)
The TOC is recorded when
You stop recording.
You switch to another input source.
You eject the MiniDisc.
You enter the stand-by mode.
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.
Recordings cannot be made in the following situations.
If you try recording on a playback-only MiniDisc (commercially available music MiniDisc).
If a MiniDisc is protected against accidental erasure (See page 54).
If there is no more recording time left on the disc (See page 55).
When the "TOC FULL" message appears (See page 55).
If a disc's TOC has been damaged.
Sampling rate converter
This system is equipped with a sampling rate converter, which automatically converts
the sampling frequencies of the connected digital tuners or DAT decks (32 kHz, 48
kHz) to 44.1 kHz. You can digitally record from equipment with different sampling fre-
quencies.
Serial Copy Management System (SCMS)
This player is equipped with a digital copy prevention mechanism which complies with
the SCMS. The SCMS limits the production of digital copies to one generation for
copyright protection. If a digital copy (first generation copy) is made from a copyright-
protected digital source (audio CD or the like), no further digital copying (from the
second generation) is allowed.

Notes:
When the copyright-protected tracks on a CD-R are recorded to a MiniDisc in this
unit, they will be skipped automatically and the other tracks will be recorded.
Copyright-protected digital source cannot be recorded from any external devices.
Notes for recording
