RECORDING ■ Differences from tape recordings You cannot record music on the reverse side of a MiniDisc. You can check the total or remaining recordable time (possible recording) before recording. MiniDiscs are single sided and should only be inserted with the correct side up. (Page 39) This lets you plan a recording session so that the last song will not come to an abrupt end before it has finished. (Page 17) You don’t need to search for the starting point at which to record.

WHAT IS A MINIDISC? The disc is stored in a cartridge. You can handle it easily without worrying about dust, fingerprints, etc. However, dust entering the opening of the cartridge, dirt on the cartridge, warping, etc. may cause malfunctions. Please note the following. ■ Handling the MiniDisc ■ To prevent recorded discs from being erased accidentally (accidental erasure prevention) Do not touch the disc directly! Do not open the shutter or touch the disc directly.
(Continued) ■ How to apply labels ■ Types of discs There are two types of discs: playback-only and recordable type. ● Playback-only MiniDisc: This type of MiniDisc is used for commercially available pre-recorded music. This is the same kind of optical disc as CDs. Playback is performed using an optical pickup. (Recording and editing are not possible.) A Shutter will be used on only one side (back). ● Recordable MiniDisc: This is a "raw disc" on which recording can be performed.
