The recording system in your MiniDisc recorder is
radically different from those used in cassette
and DAT decks and is characterized by the
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" lights up even before the disc
has reached the maximum recording time
(60, 74 or 80 minutes)
When 255 tracks have been recorded on the
disc, "Disc Full" lights up regardless of the total
recorded time. More than 255 tracks cannot be
recorded on the disc. To record new tracks, erase
unnecessary tracks or use another MD.
• "Disc Full" lights up before the maximum
number of tracks is reached
Fluctuations in emphasis within tracks are
sometimes interpreted as track intervals,
incrementing the track count and causing the
"Disc Full" indication to light up.
• The remaining recording time does not
increase even after erasing numerous
short tracks
Tracks of under 12 seconds in length are not
counted and so erasing them may not lead to an
increase in the recording time.
System limitations
• Some tracks cannot be combined with
others
Track combination may become impossible
when tracks are edited.
• The total recorded time and the
remaining time on the disc may not total
the maximum recording time (60, 74 or 80
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.
• Track created through editing may exhibit
sound dropout during searching
operations.
• Track numbers are not recorded correctly
Incorrect assignment or recording of track
numbers may result (1) when CD tracks are
divided into several smaller tracks during digital
recording, or (2) when certain CDs are recorded
with the Level Sync On for automatic track
marking.
• TOC indicator appears for a long time
If the inserted recordable disc is bland new, the
TOC indicator appears on the display longer
than those that have been used.
