Even if the maximum recording time of a
MiniDisc has not been reached, “TOC
FULL” may be displayed.
Even if the maximum recording time of a
MiniDisc has not been reached, “DISC
FULL” may be displayed.
Even if several short tracks are erased,
the remaining rec-ording time may not
show an increase.
Two tracks may not be combined in edit-
ing.
The total of the recorded time and time
remaining on a disc may not add up to
the maximum possible recording time.
If recorded tracks are fast reversed or fast
forwarded, the sound may skip.
In the MD system, the delimiter of the recording area on an
MD is programme in a TOC. If partial erasing, recording and
editing are repeated several times, TOC information will fill
up, even though the number of tracks has not reached the
limit (255 tracks), and further recording will be impossible. (If
you use the all erase function, this MD can be used from the
beginning.)
If there is any flaw on the MiniDisc, that part is automatically
excluded from the space available for recording. Therefore,
the recording time becomes shorter.
When the remaining recording time of a disc is displayed,
short tracks less than 12 seconds long may not be included
in the total.
For MiniDiscs on which repeated recording and editing op-
erations were per-formed,the COMBINE function may not
work.
A track recorded from a CD (digital recording) and a track
recorded from a radio or other equipment (analogue record-
ing) cannot be combined.
A cluster (about 2 seconds) is normally the minimum unit of
recording. So, even if a track is less than 2 seconds long, it
will use about 2 seconds of space on the disc. Therefore, the
time actually available for recording may be less thanthe re-
maining time displayed.
If there are scratches on discs, those sections will be auto-
matically avoided (norecording will be placed in those sec-
tions). Therefore, the recording time will be reduced.
An MD which has been recorded or edited repeatedly may
skip during fast reverse or fast forward.
