"About the TOC
After any recording or editing function, "TOC" (Table Of Con-
tents) is displayed. To finalise the recording or editing func-
tion, turn the power off. During this process, "TOC" will flash
and "TOC EDIT!" will be displayed. During any recording or
editing function, the MiniDisc unit lid is locked, and the Mini-
Disc cannot be removed until the process is finalised.
Warning:
If the power is removed (Battery/AC adaptor) whilst
"TOC" is displayed, the MiniDisc unit lid will remain
locked until the battery/main power is restored and the
unit is turned on. Your new recordings or edited changes
will be lost and your MiniDisc may become unusable.

Whilst "TOC" or "TOC EDIT!" is displayed, follow the instruc-
tions below.
Otherwise, tracks may not be recorded properly.
"To prevent recorded MiniDiscs from being
erased accidentally

side of the MiniDisc, in the direction indicated by the

The MiniDisc will then be protected against accidental
erasure.

tal erase prevention tab back to its original position.
"Helpful tip when attaching a label
