The total recorded time
and the remaining time
on the disc may not total
the maximum recording
time (60, 74, or 80
minutes). • This is due to the MiniDisc system limitation (in MD mode only).
Normally, recording is done in minimum units of approximately 2
seconds (in SP stereo), 4 seconds (in LP2 stereo mode or
monaural), or 8 seconds (in LP4 stereo mode). When recording is
stopped, the last unit of recording always uses this unit of 2
seconds, 4 seconds, or 8 seconds even if the actual recording is
shorter. Likewise, when recording is restarted after the stop, the
recorder will automatically insert a blank space amounting to 2
seconds, 4 seconds, or 8 seconds before the next recording. (This is
to prevent accidental erasing of a previous track whenever a new
recording is started). Therefore, the actual recording time will
decrease whenever a recording is stopped by a maximum of 6
seconds, 12 seconds, or 24 seconds.
“TRACK FULL”
appears even before the
disc has reached the
maximum track number
or recording time. • This is due to the MiniDisc system limitation. 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 (on a standard disc) or 2,047 (on a disc used in Hi-MD mode)
and further recording is not possible.
, To continue recording, erase unnecessary tracks.

• A very short track may cause sound to skip.
, Try not to create a short track.
Sound has a lot of
static. • Strong magnetism from a television or such device is interfering with
operation.
, Move the recorder away from the source of strong magnetism.
The volume of the
recorded track is
low. • The track was recorded in analog mode (in digital mode, the recording
level is automatically set to the same level as that of the sound source).
Or you used a connecting cord with an attenuator.
, Use a correct connecting cord without an attenuator.
• The recording level was low.
, Adjust the recording level manually while recording (page 38).
