1 After taking off the front panel, press the clip inside the front cover with a thin screwdriver, and gently pry the front cover free.
The recording system in your MD deck has the limitations described below.
Note, however, that these limitations are due to the inherent nature of the MD recording system itself, not to mechanical causes.
2 Repeat step 1 for the right side.
The front cover is removed.
3 Use a thin screwdriver to push in the clip on the left side of the unit, then pull out the left side of the unit until the catch clears the mounting.
4 mm (3/16 in.)

5 Slide the unit out of its mounting.
“Disc FULL” appears before the MD has reached the maximum recording time
When 255 tracks have been recorded on the MD, “Disc FULL” appears regardless of the total recorded time. More than 255 tracks cannot be recorded on the MD. To continue recording, erase unnecessary tracks or use another recordable MD.
“Disc FULL” appears before the maximum number of tracks (255) is reached
Fluctuations in emphasis within tracks are sometimes interpreted as track intervals, increasing the track count and causing “Disc FULL” to appear.
The remaining recording time does not increase even after erasing numerous short tracks
Tracks shorter than 12 seconds are not counted, so erasing them may not increase the recording time.
Some tracks cannot be combined with others
Track combination may become impossible when tracks are shorter than 8 seconds.
The total recorded time and the remaining time on the MD do not add up to the maximum recording time
Recording is done in minimum units of 2 seconds each, no matter how short the material. The recorded contents may be shorter than the maximum recording capacity. Disc space may also be reduced by scratches.
