However, if the signals from all the other network stations are very weak, or if the tuning conditions are very bad (due to electrical noise), the unit will be displayed "WEAK SIG", and the unit will return to the original station you were receiving. 27 RECORDING s Differences from tape recordings You cannot record music on the reverse side of a MiniDisc. MiniDiscs are single sided and should only be inserted with the correct side up. You don't need to search for the starting point at which to record. You can check the total or remaining recordable time (possible recording) before recording. This lets you plan a recording session so that the last song will not come to an abrupt end before it has finished.
