Disc Maintenance
The MD recorder features two disc maintenance functions
which optimize performance of MDs. The TOC Write function
allows you to write the result of editing to the TOC without
having to eject the disc. The FRA Check function recovers
recordable space on a disc that may have been lost because
of repeated editing operations.
TOC Write
When making a recording, the TOC (Table Of Contents) of the
MD is written as soon as recording is finished. When making
an editing or titling operation, however, the TOC isn’t
automatically written unless the disc is ejected. If the MD
recorder is accidentally turned off before writing the result of
editing to the TOC, it is possible that these changes will not be
saved. By using this function, you can ensure that the result of
your edition is saved on the disc.
1
Press to stop the MD recorder.
2
Press MD EDIT repeatedly to display “TOC Write ?”, then
press ENTER.
* “TOC WriteOK?” appears on the display.
3
Press ENTER.
* “TOC Writing” flashes on the display momentarily.
Notes
• You cannot undo the result of editing once it has been
written to the TOC.
• The TOC Write function can only be selected when the
TOC indicator is lit on the display.
FRA Check
When editing operations such as “Move” and “Divide” are
performed, recordable space may be lost and “TOC Full” may
appear on the display to indicate that no more recording can
be performed. When this occurs, it may be possible to recover
the FRA (Freely Recordable Area) on the disc that was lost by
repeated editing operations so that more recording is possible.
1
Press to stop the MD recorder.
2
Press MD EDIT repeatedly to display “FRA Check ?”,
then press ENTER.
* “FRA CheckOK?” appears on the display.
