One of the great features of the MD is that you can search for
desired tracks quickly. There are also quick and easy functions

THE LIMITATIONS OF MD
Recording on the MD is performed differently from that of a
cassette tape or a DAT. Therefore, the MD system is subject to
the following restrictions.
"TOC* Full" is displayed even if the recording time
does not reach the maximum recordable time of the
disc (60-minute or 74-minute).
"TOC Full" is displayed when 254 tracks are already recorded
on a disc, without respect of the recording time.
*TOC: An abbreviation of Table Of Contents.
"TOC Full" is displayed even if a disc is not fully
recorded on.
If there are lots of emphasis data in a particular track, the unit
handles the data as index codes, and tracks are counted, in
addition, without respect of the time and number of tracks.
The remaining time on a disc is not increased even
after some short tracks have been erased.
When the remaining time on a disc is displayed, which may not
be increased even after erasing short tracks because the sections
less than eight seconds are not counted.
Tracks cannot be joined (the COMBINE function does
not function).
Tracks created by editing may not be joined.
Digital inputs may not be acceptable.
