, Close the SonicStage or MD Simple Burner software.
• A disc which is not used in Hi-MD mode is inserted.
, Insert a disc used in Hi-MD mode. Only discs used in Hi-MD

This is due to a calculation discrepancy between the recorder and the
computer.
• The minimum recordable time on a disc is normally 2 seconds in SP
mode, 4 seconds in LP2 mode, and 8 seconds in LP4 mode. When you
transfer a track from your computer, the recorder needs a 2-second (or
4- or 8-second) space for a track even if the track is under 2 seconds
(or 4 or 8 seconds) in length. Also, the recorder inserts a 2-second (or
4 -or 8-second) space in between tracks during transfer operation. For
this reason, the recorder needs an additional 6 seconds (or 12 or 24
seconds) for each track. This reduces the maximum recording time for
each track by 6 seconds (or 12 or 24 seconds) during transfer
operation (in MD mode only).
• The difference is due to the use of the binary system to indicate the
disc size on the computer and the decimal system to express the disc
size on the disc and other recording media. For details on the disc size,
see page 66.
• You cannot operate the recorder while the recorder is connected to the
