Sony MDS-JE530 manual Troubleshooting, 47GB

Track numbers are not marked correctly

Incorrect assignment or marking of track numbers may result when CD tracks are divided into several smaller tracks during digital recording. Also, when the Automatic Track Marking is activated during recording, track numbers may not be marked as in the original, depending on the programme source.

“TOC Reading” appears for a long time

If the inserted recordable MD is brand new, “TOC Reading” appears in the display longer than for MDs that have already been used.

The correct recorded/playing time may not be displayed during playback of MDs recorded in monaural mode.
