Systemlimitationsof MDs
The recording system in your MD deck has 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 before the MD has reached the maximum recording time (60 or 74 minutes)
When 255 tracks have been recorded on the MD, “DISC FULL” lights up regardless of the total recorded time. More than 255 tracks cannot be recorded on the MD. To continue recording, erase unnecessary tracks or use another recordable MD.
“DISC FULL” lights up before the maximum number of tracks (255) is reached
Fluctuations in emphasis within tracks are sometimes interpreted as track intervals, increasing the track count and causing “DISC FULL” to light up.
The remaining recording time does not increase even after erasing numerous short tracks
Tracks shorter than 12 seconds long are not counted, so erasing them may not increase the recording time.
Some tracks cannot be combined with others
Track combination may become impossible when tracks are shorter than 12 seconds long.
The total recorded time and the remaining time on the MD may not reach the maximum recording time (60 or 74 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.
