Symptom
The pl_ying time of a
checked-out track is
different from fl_e time that
3ppears on your computer
monitor.
You cannot check out tracks
that will fill up the
remaining recording time on
the disc. (For example, you
cannot check-out tracks that
total 160 minutes to an 80-
minute disc in LP2 stereo
mode.)
Cause
This is due to a calculation discrepancy between the
recorder and the computer.
The minimum recordable time on the disc is normally 2
seconds in stereo, 4 seconds in LP2 stereo mode, and 8
seconds in LP4 stereo mode. When you check-out a track
from your computer the recorder needs 2 seconds (4 or 8
seconds)-space lbr one track even though the track is
under 2 seconds (4 or 8 seconds) lengfl_. Also the recorder
inserts 2 seconds (4 or 8 seconds)-space between tracks
when checking out in order not to erase the previously
recorded track or not m be erased by recorded over. For
this reason, the recorder needs 6 seconds (12 or 24
seconds) longer time fbr a track so that as a result, the
recordable time of the disc become 6 seconds (12 or 24
seconds) shorter than the maximum recordable time of the
disc when checking out.
You cmmot erase a track To erase a track that has been checked out from your
checked out from your computer, check it back in first, and tl_en erase it using the
computer. SonicSt_ge software.
