The total recorded time and the remaining recordable time on the MD may not total the maximum recording time
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.
*When recording in stereo mode. (Approx. 4 seconds in mono or LP2 mode, and approx. 8 seconds in LP4 mode.)
Limitations when recording over an existing track
•The correct remaining recordable time may not be displayed.
•You may find it impossible to record over a track if that track has been recorded over several times already. If this happens, erase the track (see page 29).
•The remaining recordable time may be shortened out of proportion to the total recorded time.
•Recording over a track to eliminate noise is not recommended since this may shorten the duration of the track.
•You may find it impossible to name a track while recording over an existing track.
Tracks created through editing may exhibit sound dropout as you’re searching for a point while monitoring the sound.
Some tracks can’t be combined with others
Tracks may not be combined if they have been edited.
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 program 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.
