skips.
Sound has a lot of
static.
The volume of the
recorded track is
low.

turned up.
Cause/Remedy
• This is due to the MiniDisc system limitation. When 254 tracks
have been recorded on the disc, "TrFULL" appears regardless of
the total recorded time. More than 254 tracks cannot be recorded
on the disc.
, To continue recording, erase unnecessary 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.
Cause/Remedy

more to start playing
• The recorder is placed where it receives continuous vibration.

, Try not to create a track under one second long.
• Strong magnetism from a television or such device is interfering
with operation.
, Move the recorder away from the source of strong magnetism.
• The track was recorded in analog (When recorded in digital, the
recording level will be automatically adjusted as same as the sound
source), or you used a connecting cord with an attenuator.
, Use a correct connecting cord.
• The recording level was low.
, Adjust the recording level manually when recording.
