13SYSTEM LIMITATIONS

(1)Track Number Limits

Up to 255 tracks can be recorded when recording the tracks successively starting from the first track on blank or no-track discs. In the following cases, however, the number of tracks that can be recorded decreases:

When editing has been performed.

When there are scratches on the disc and tracks have been re-recorded.

(2)Recording Time Limits

Recording is performed in units of approximately 2 seconds. Sections of less than 2 seconds still take up 2 seconds worth of space on the disc, so this decreases the actual recordable time.

Scratched sections of discs are automatically eliminated from the recording time.

Recording is no longer possible once the maximum number of tracks is reached, even if they take up less than the maximum recordable time. To record on such discs, first erase unneeded tracks. When this is done, it is not possible to record for longer than the time of the tracks that have been erased.

The remaining time on the disc may not increase when short tracks (less than approximately 8 seconds) are erased.

If there are many emphasis data on/off signals or other similar signals in a track, they are treated as divisions between tracks, so recording will not be possible regardless of the recording time and number of tracks.

Track incrementing may not be possible if it is conducted (automatically or manually) consecutively within less than 2 seconds.

(3)Editing Function Limits

It may not be possible to combine a short track with another track.

Tracks containing cue points cannot be divided or combined.

(4)Title Function Limits

There are limits to the number of characters that can be used in disc and track names and to the total number of characters

used for both. When writing names, the cursor will only move by the maximum number of writeable spaces. (after this no more characters can be input.)

Track names:

Up to 100 characters

Disc names:

Up to 100 characters

Total:

Up to 1700 characters

The number of characters that can be used in track names decreases when the following functions are used:

Cue point function: Using one point decreases the

number of characters that can be used by 10.

Play speed function: Changing the play speed decreases the number of characters that can be used by 6.

CAUTION:

Because cue points are stored on the disc as name inputs, it may not be possible to input names if many cue points are set on discs with many tracks, and if many names are used it may not be possible to store cue points.

When a track with a track name is divided, both of the divided tracks are given the same name. However, if the number of characters writeable on the disc is near the limit, the second track may only have part of the track name.

When two tracks with track names are combined, the name of the second track is erased.

(5)Other Limits

In the program play mode, the record mode is not set even when the REC button is pressed.

If the REC button is pressed, “Now Program!” is displayed for approximately 1 second, then turns off.

In the program play mode, the editing mode is not set even when the MODE button is pressed.

If the MODE button is pressed, “Now Program!” is displayed for approximately 1 second, then turns off.

In the editing mode and during hot start loading, the program play mode is not set even when the PROGRAM ON/OFF button is pressed.

If the REC button is pressed while hot start data is loaded, “Now H Start!” is displayed for 5 seconds. If the REC button is pressed while “Now H Start!” is displayed, the recording pause mode is set. (The hot start data is cleared.)
