÷More than 255 titles (track No. 256 and up) can not be recorded even when the max.
recordable time has not been reached.
(Recording may be impossible even before track No. 256 has been reached.)
÷When emphasis ON/OFF etc. is repeated often within a title, this is handled in the
same way as a break between titles, and "DISC FULL" will be displayed independent
of the time and the number of titles.
In this case, the main timer indication on the display becomes "0:00".
÷When the remaining time for the entire minidisc becomes less than 24 sec (MONO,
LP2) or 48 sec (LP4), the main timer indication on the display becomes "0:00". When
the total time of the deleted titles becomes more than 24 sec (MONO, LP2) or 48
sec (LP4), the indication of the recordable time changes.
÷In case of a frequently edited minidisc, the remaining time may not increase even
when a short title is erased.
÷Sometimes it may not be possible to combine titles created by editing.
÷Titles with different recording modes cannot be combined.
÷As recording is done with 4 sec (MONO, LP2) or 8 sec (LP4) as the min unit, the
indicated time may not coincide.
÷When a new minidisc for recording (completely unrecorded) is inserted, "READING"
will be displayed longer than normal.
÷When a minidisc is inserted which has been edited frequently or which has very
many tracks, "READING" will be displayed longer than normal.
÷Interrupted sound can be caused by a combination of various conditions, but this is
no defect.
÷Depending on the recorded source, the track numbers may not be assigned
correctly.
÷As the title input area is used in units of 7 characters, it may not be possible to enter
1792 characters.
"DISC FULL" is displayed although the max. record-
able time has not been reached.
The recordable time does not increase when short
titles are deleted.
Titles cannot be combined.
The sum of the recorded time and the recordable time
does not coincide with the total recording time for
the MD.
"READING" is displayed for an abnormally long time.
When titles created by editing are played back fast
in forward or reverse direction, the sound becomes
interrupted.
The track (title) numbers are not assigned correctly.
Input of 1792 title characters is not possible.
