A tip for use of the tape counter
The tape counter is set to “0000” when a cassette tape is
loaded.
Displayed when the deck is loaded with a tape.
By writing down the counter reading in case you want to
interrupt recording (playback) in the middle of the tape,
the memo will be helpful as a reference for locating the
same position when continuing the recording (playback)
the next time. The tape counter figure decrements dur-
ing recording or playback of the back side (while the 2
tape transport indicator is lit).

Memory Backup for the MD Recorder Section
The contents of the memory are not stored on the
disc if the power cord is unplugged.
*1All minidiscs contain a Table of Contents (TOC) in addi-

contents in a book and contains information, such as
track numbers, track length, and character information,
that cannot be rewritten.
If there is a power failure or if the power cord is
unplugged, the recording or editing information
(normally recorded when the minidisc is removed)
may be erased or destroyed before it is recorded on
the minidisc. Once the information has disappeared,
it can not be recovered.
After recording or editing, always remove the
minidisc to record the recording or editing informa-
tion.

User’s Table of Contents (UTOC) that contains track
