System Limitations
The recording svslem in \ our MiniDisc deck is
Tiidicallv dit'terent from Ihose 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 MD has reached the
maximum recording time (60 or 74 minutes)
When 255 tracks have been recorded on the MD, “Disc Full"
lights up regardless of the total recorded time. More than
255 tracks cannot be recorded ».m the MD. To continue
recording, erase unnecessary tracks or use another
recordable MD.
"Disc Full" lights up before the maximum number of
tracks is reached
Fluctuations in emphasis within tracks are sometimes
interpreted as track inter\^als, incrementing the track count
and causing “Disc Full" to light up.
The remaining recording time does not increase even
after erasing numerous short tracks
Tracks under 12 seconds in length are not counted and so
erasing them may not lead to an increase in the recording
time.
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
MD may not totai 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.
Tracks created through editing may exhibit sound dropout
during search 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) while recording certain
CDs with the "LEVEL-SYNC" indication on (i.e., the
automatic track-marking function on).
