System Limitations - Sony ICD-BP100 Primary Operating Instructions Manual

System limitations

There are some system limitations of the IC recorder. Troubles as
mentioned below are not malfunctions of the unit.
Symptom
You cannot record
messages up to the
maximum recording
time.
You cannot add an
index.
You cannot erase the
indexes.
Cause/Remedy
•If you record messages in a mixture of SP and
LP modes, the recordable time varies from the
maximum SP mode recording time to the
maximum LP recording time.
•If there are a number of messages shorter than
the minimum recording unit (Approx. 16
seconds in SP mode and approx. 42 seconds in
LP mode), they are still counted as 16 seconds
or 42 seconds, so the remaining recording time
may decrease by more than the actual length of
the messages.
•Even when each message is longer than the
minimum recording unit, if the length of each
message cannot be divided by the minimum
recording unit, the remaining recording time
may decrease by more than the total length of
the messages.
•The sum of the number on the counter (elapsed
recording time) and the remaining recording
time may be less than the unit's maximum
recording time (page 14).
•You cannot add an index in a folder which has
99 messages.
•If you add or erase indexes frequently, the unit
may become unable to add indexes.
•You cannot erase an index to combine different
recording mode (SP/LP) messages.
•If you add or erase indexes frequently, the unit
may become unable to erase indexes.
