MiniDisc System Limitations
The unit may have the following symptoms whilst recording or editing. The unit is not out of order.
SYMPTOM
"D-FULL" or "T-FULL" appears even
though the MiniDisc still has recording
time left.
The remaining recording time does not in-
crease even though you erased tracks.
The total of the recorded time and the re-
maining time does not match the maxi-
mum recordable time.
Combine function does not work.
Sound skips in fast reverse/forward.
A track number is created in the middle of
a track.
Even if "LP :" is entered at the top of the
name, "LP :" is not displayed.
Charging is completed in about 3 hours, and the dis-
play of remaining amount of battery will go out.
90 % of charging is completed. If you leave it for another
Conditions
2 hours, the battery will be fully charged.
Charge the battery within the range of 5°C - 35°C
(41°F - 95°F).
The unit can be left in the charging state after it is
completed.
Refresh
If you charge the battery before it runs out completely, the
operating time may be shortened. To avoid this, the bat-
tery is discharged automatically and refreshed.
More than the limited number of tracks (255) cannot be recorded regard-
less of the recording time. If the MiniDisc is recorded or edited repeatedly
or it has scratches (recording skips scratched parts), you may not be able
to record the maximum number of tracks described above. If the total
number of character information (disc, group, and track names) exceeds
1,700, the MD cannot be edited.
The unit does not count non-recorded portions that last 12 or fewer sec-
onds to display the remaining recording time. The time may not increase
even if you erase short tracks.
One cluster (approximately 2 seconds) is the minimum unit for recording.
For example, a 3-second track uses 2 clusters (approximately 4 sec-
onds). Therefore, the actual recordable time may be shorter than the dis-
played time.
(The number of seconds indicates that in the stereo recording mode
(SP). It varies depending on the recording mode.)
A MiniDisc on which recording and editing are repeated may not allow the
combine function.
If one track is divided and recorded in separate places on a repeatedly
recorded or edited MiniDisc, sound may skip.
A track number may be created if there are scratches or dust on the Mini-
Disc.
If "LP :" is entered at the top of the 2 times/4 times long recorded track
(LP2/LP4), "LP :" will not be displayed. Enter other symbols than ":" after
"LP".
