Demagnetising the tape heads

have contact with the tape after every 20 to 30 hours
of use with a separately sold demagnetising cassette.

demagnetising cassette.
In case color irregularity is observed
on nearby a TV screen
With the magnetically shielded type of speaker
system, the speakers can be installed near a TV set.
However, color irregularity may still be observed on
the TV screen depending on the type of your TV set.
If color irregularity is observed...
Turn off the TV set once, then turn it on after 15 to 30
minutes.
If color irregularity is observed
again...
Place the speakers farther away from the TV set.

System limitations of MDs

The recording system in your MD deck has the
limitations described below.
Note, however, that these limitations are due to
the inherent nature of the MD recording system
itself, not to mechanical causes.
"Disc Full!" appears before the MD
has reached the maximum recording
time
When 255 tracks have been recorded on the MD,
"Disc Full!" appears 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 (255) is
reached
Fluctuations in emphasis within tracks are sometimes
interpreted as track intervals, increasing the track
count and causing "Disc Full!" to appear.
"Group Full!" appears in the display
• When the Group Function is on, "Group Full!" may
be displayed if editing is performed. This means
there are insufficient characters for group
management. Delete any unnecessary disc titles,
group titles or other characters.
• Even when the Group Function is off, the group
management information is updated automatically
when Move, Divide and other editing operations are
performed, so "Group Full!" may be displayed.
The remaining recording time does
not increase even after erasing
numerous short tracks
Tracks shorter than 12 seconds* are not counted, so
erasing them may not increase the recording time.
* During Stereo recording.
In Monaural or LP2 Stereo mode: about 24 seconds
In LP4 Stereo mode: about 48 seconds
"Impossible" appears when you use
A-B Erase Function or Combine
Function
This happens when you have edited the same track
many times. This is due to a technical limitaiton of
the MD system and is not a mechanical error.
