System limitations
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 or 74 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.
•
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 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.
•
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 both
the LEVEL-SYNC indicator on and automatic track marking
function on.
•
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.
