MINIDISC SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
Even if the maximum recording time of a MiniDisc is not reached, “DISC FULL” or “TOC FULL” may be displayed.
When the number of tracks used reaches the limit, regardless of the remainder being recording time, further recording will be impossible. (Maximum number of tracks: 255)
Even if the number of tracks and the recording time have not reached the limit, “DISC FULL” may be displayed.
When emphasis information (equalizer treatment in the treble section) in a track switches on/off many times, each change is assumed to be the beginning of a new track, which will quickly use up all available track numbers, making further recording impossible, regardless of the remaining time, recording time or the number of tracks on the original.
Even if several short tracks are erased, the remaining recording time may not show an increase.
When the remaining recording time of a disc is displayed, short tracks less than 15 seconds long may not be included in the total.
Two tracks may not be combined in editing.
For MiniDiscs which repeated recording and editing operations were performed, the COMBINE function may not work.
The total of the recorded time and time remaining on a disc may not add up to the maximum possible recording time.
A cluster (about 2 seconds) is normally the minimum unit of recording. So, even if a track is less than 2 seconds long, it will use about 2 seconds of space on the disc. Therefore, the time actually available for recording may be less than the remaining time displayed.
If there are scratches on a disc, those sections will be automatically avoided (no recording will be placed in those sections). Therefore, recording time will be reduced.
