14 – System limitations
CD section
CD-R/RW discs that have not been finalized cannot
be played back. Make sure the disc has been properly
finalized before loading into the player.
About finalization
Even if audio data is recorded onto a CD-R/RW disc,
if the TOC (table of contents corresponding to the
recorded data) is not written on the disc after record-
ing, the disc cannot be played back on conventional
CD players. "Finalization" is the process of writing
the TOC on the disc.
A number of record companies have released titles
on 'copy control' CD discs as a means of protecting
artist copyrights. Some of these discs do not comply
with standard CD format specifications, and may not
be able to be played on this unit.
The MD-CD1 can play back MP3 files recorded in
formats which conform to ISO9660 level 1, level 2,
or Joliet. Discs recorded in multiple sessions may
also be played back.
For MP3 CDs to be played by the MD-CD1, the fol-
lowing limitations have been placed on the number
of MP3 files and directories.
Maximum number of directories: 255
Maximum number of MP3 files: 999
Maximum title size of MP3 files and directories: 255
MD section
Even when the maximum recording time is
not reached, "Track Full!" is displayed.
Regardless of the time, when the maximum number
of tracks has been reached, "Track Full!" is dis-
played. In the MiniDisc format, the number of tracks
is limited to 255. To make an additional recording on
discs with 255 tracks, unwanted tracks must be
deleted, or tracks must be combined to reduce their
number. If this is not possible, the additional record-
ing must be made on a separate disc.

About MP3 track data
During playback, titles are displayed in the following
order of priority:

During stop mode, the file title is displayed.
Even if the number of tracks or the recording
time has not been exceeded, the "Track Full!"
message is displayed.
If a great deal of emphasis data has been present, in
order to use the track divisions in the same way,
"Track Full!" is displayed regardless of the time or
number of tracks.
