Recording stops
automatically in the
middle of a recording
operation. • You tried to overwrite a track which is checked out from the
computer. (Tracks that are checked out from the computer
cannot be overwritten. The recording stops automatically.)
, Check the checked-out track back into the computer.
, Record from the end of the disc.
Stereo sound is heard
in the headphones/
earphones while
recording in monaural. • This is normal. During digital recording, the sound will be
stereo in the headphones/earphones, even though the recorded
sound is monaural.
Momentary noise is
heard when recording. • Due to the special digital audio compression technology used
in LP4 stereo mode, momentary noise may occur on very rare
occasions with certain sound sources.
, Record in SP or LP2 mode.
The lid does not open
after recording. • The lid does not open until “TOC Edit” disappears in the
display.
“TR FULL” appears
even before the disc
has reached the
maximum recording
time (60, 74, or 80
minutes) and the
recording cannot be
done. • This is due to the MiniDisc system limitation. When 254 tracks
have been recorded on the disc, “TR FULL” appears regardless
of the total recorded time. More than 254 tracks cannot be
recorded on the disc.
, To continue recording, erase unnecessary tracks.
The remaining
recording time does
not increase even after
erasing numerous
short tracks. • This is due to the MiniDisc system limitation. Tracks of under
12 seconds (in SP stereo), 24 seconds (in LP2 stereo mode or
monaural), or 48 seconds (in LP4 stereo mode) in length are
not counted and so erasing them may not lead to an increase in
the recording time.
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. 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.
