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 mode), 4 seconds (in LP2 mode or monaural), or 8
seconds (in LP4 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
2,047 (on a disc used in Hi-MD mode) and further recording is not
possible.
, To continue recording, erase unnecessary tracks.
Symptom Cause/Remedy
While playing
Symptom Cause/Remedy
A disc is not played
normally. • Repeat play is selected.
, Set the Repeat play to “RepeatOff” to change back to the
normal play (page 40).
• Playback mode is changed.
, Enter the Main play mode or Sub play mode to change back to
the normal play (page 36).
A disc is not played
from the first track. • Disc playing stopped before it came to the last track.
, Press the 5-way control key (NENT) on the recorder for 2
seconds or more to start playing.
Playback sound skips. • The recorder is placed where it receives continuous vibration.
, Put the recorder on a stable place.
• 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 31).
