System limitations

The recording system in your MiniDisc recorder is radically different from those used in cassette and DAT decks and is characterized by the limitations described below. Note, however, that these limitations are due to the inherent nature of the MD recording system itself and not to mechanical causes.

•"Disc Full" lights up even before the disc has reached the maximum recording time

(60, 74 or 80 minutes)

When 255 tracks have been recorded on the disc, "Disc Full" lights up regardless of the total recorded time. More than 255 tracks cannot be recorded on the disc. To record new tracks, erase unnecessary tracks or use another MD.

•"Disc Full" lights up before the maximum number of tracks is reached

Fluctuations in emphasis within tracks are sometimes interpreted as track intervals, incrementing the track count and causing the "Disc Full" indication to light up.

•The remaining recording time does not increase even after erasing numerous short tracks

Tracks of under 12 seconds in length are not counted and so erasing them may not lead to an increase in the recording time.

• Some tracks cannot be combined with others

Track combination may become impossible when tracks are edited.

•The total recorded time and the remaining time on the disc may not total

the maximum recording time (60, 74 or 80 minutes)

Recording is done in minimum units of 2 seconds each, no matter how short the material. The contents recorded may thus be shorter than the maximum recording capacity. Disc space may also be further reduced by scratches.

•Track created through editing may exhibit sound dropout during searching operations.

•Track numbers are not recorded correctly Incorrect assignment or recording of track numbers may result (1) when CD tracks are divided into several smaller tracks during digital recording, or (2) when certain CDs are recorded with the Level Sync On for automatic track marking.

•TOC indicator appears for a long time

If the inserted recordable disc is bland new, the TOC indicator appears on the display longer than those that have been used.
