Symptom
"TR FULL" appears
even before the disc
has reached the
maximum recording
time (60, 74, or 80
minutes) and the
recording cannot be
done.
The remaining
recording time does
not increase even after
erasing numerous
short tracks.
The total recorded
time and the remaining
time on the disc may
not total the maximum
recording time (60, 74,
or 80 minutes).
"TR FULL" appears
even before the disc
has reached the
maximum track
number or recording
time.
Cause/Remedy
• This is due to the MiniDisc system limitation.When 254 tracks
have been recorded on the disc, "TR FULL" 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, 24 seconds, 48 seconds in length are not counted
and so erasing them may not lead to an increase in the
recording time.
• This is due to the MiniDisc system limitation. Normally,
recording is done in minimum units of approximately 2
seconds (in stereo), 4 seconds (in LP2 stereo mode or
monaural mode), or 8 seconds (in LP4 stereo mode). When
recording is stopped, the last unit of recording always uses this
unit of 2 seconds, 4 seconds, or 8 seconds even if the actual
recording is shorter. Likewise, when recording is restarted
after the stop, the recorder will automatically insert a blank
space amounting to 2 seconds, 4 seconds, or 8 seconds before
the next recording. (This is to prevent accidental erasing of a
previous track whenever a new recording is started).
Therefore, the actual recording time will decrease whenever a
recording is stopped; a maximum of 6 seconds, 12 seconds, or
24 seconds compared to the potential recording time for each
stop.
• This is due to the MiniDisc system limitation. Repeated
recording and erasing may cause fragmentation and scattering
of data. Although those scattered data can be read, each
fragment is counted as a track. In this case, the number of
tracks may reach 254 and further recording is not possible. To
continue recording, erase unnecessary tracks.
