ªWhen "Disc Full !!" or "Track Full !!" is displayed
The MD has no more available space for recording or the MD has used up all its track numbers. Erase unnecessary tracks or record music on another MD.
ªThe way track numbers are assigned varies depending on the source
When a CD or MD is played and recorded digitally by selecting [DIGITAL 1/2] with the
[INPUT SELECTOR]:
…Track numbers on the recorded MD are assigned to match those on the source CD or MD. However, in the circum- stances listed below only one track number may be assigned to a recorded section.
·A section composed of the repeated playback of a single track on a disc (e.g. using single track repeat playback).
·A section composed of the succes- sive recording of tracks with the same track number from more than one disc. Also, if the source is an MD, track numbers may not be marked for
tracks shorter than 3 seconds.
When the source is recorded with [ANALOG] or when a digital source other than a CD or MD is recorded with [DIGITAL 1] or [DIGITAL 2] while the Auto Track function is OFF:
…The entire recording may be counted as a single track with only one track number assigned to it.
·Track numbers can be assigned manually at the desired points by pressing the [º RECORD] button during recording.
·Track numbers can be assigned automatically by switching the Auto Track function to "A_TRACK > ON" before starting recording.
