System Limitations of MD

The recording system in your player 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" appears even through the maximum
recording time (60 or 74 minutes) has not been reached
When 255 tracks have been recorded on the MD, "Disc Full"
appears in the display regardless of the total recorded time.
More than 255 tracks cannot be recorded on the MD. To
continue recording, erase unnecessary tracks or use another
recordable MD.
"Disc Full" appears 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 "Disc Full" to appear in the display.
The remaining recording time may 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 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.
Tracks created through editing may exhibit sound
dropout during search operations.
