Types of discs
There are two types of discs: playback-only and recordable discs.
  • Playback-only MiniDisc:
    This type of MiniDisc usually contains 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.)
  • Recordable MiniDisc:
    This is a "raw disc" on which recording can be performed. This is a magneto-optical disc.
    Recordings are made using a laser and a modulated magnetic field. Repeated recording is possible.
There will only be a shutter on one side (the back). Shutters can be seen on both sides of this type of disc.

To Prevent recorded discs from being erased accidentally


Slide the accidental erase prevention tab, located on the side of the disc, in the direction indicated by the arrow.
