System limitations of the MD
The recording system in your MiniDisc recorder is radically different from those used in cassette and DAT decks and the system has limitations described below. Note, however, that these limitations are due to the inherent nature of the MD recording system itself and not to mechanical causes.
”Disc Full” appears in the display even before the MD has reached the maximum recording time (60 or 74 minutes).
When 254 tracks have been recorded on the MD, ”Disc Full” appears regardless of the total recorded time. More than 254 tracks cannot be recorded on the MD. To continue recording, erase unnecessary tracks.
”Disc Full” appears in the display even before the MD has reached the maximum track number or recording time.
Repeated recording and erasing may cause fragmentation and scattering of data. Although those scattered data can be read, each fragment is counted as a track. In this case, the number of tracks may reach 254 and further recording is not possible. To continue recording, erase unnecessary tracks.
The remaining recording time does not increase even after erasing numerous short tracks.
Tracks under 12 seconds long 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 under 12 seconds long.
The total recorded time and the remaining time on the MD may not reach the maximum recording time (60 or 74 minutes).
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.
The sound may dropout while fast- fowarding or rewinding the edited tracks.
Tracks created through editing may exhibit sound dropout during fast- forwarding or rewinding because high- speed playback takes time to search for the position on the disc when the tracks are scattered on the disc.
