Cause
There is a maximum number of tracks which can be
recorded, regardless of recording time. More than 254
tracks cannot be recorded on an MD.
• Repeating erasure and recording on the same MD
creates many blank portions sparsely on the MD. When
recording on such an MD, a track is recorded on these
blank portions sparsely. If a track is divided and
recorded into so many portions, “DISC FULL” appears.
• If a divided portion of less than 8 seconds is made while
a track is recorded on the MD, that track cannot be
joined to another track using the JOIN function.
Furthermore, if that track is erased, the remaining time
of the MD may not increase exactly by the erased
amount.
• If a track has been divided into many portions while
being recorded on the MD, sounds will drop out while
fast forwarding or reversing such an MD.
You cannot record on a blank portion of less than 12
seconds (SP mode) on the MD. For this reason, the actual
recording time of discs may become shorter.
SCMS (Serial Copy Management System)
The MD recorder integrated to this unit uses the Serial Copy Management System which allows only first-generation
digital copies to be made of premastered software (like CDs or prerecorded MDs).
HCMS (High-speed Copy Management System)
Now onto recordable MDs (minidiscs), you can record (copy) sound at a recording speed exceeding the normal speed. This
fact requires some restrictions for protecting copyrights.
On this unit, you cannot re-record, at either high speed or normal speed, a song (track) that has been recorded once from a
CD at high speed, until 74 minutes elapse after the first recording of the song started.
For example, after having recorded the first song (track) of a CD at high speed, you cannot record it again, at either high
speed or normal speed, until 74 minutes elapse after the first recording of that song started.
Symptoms
“DISC FULL” appears, even though there is still enough
remaining time on an MD.
“DISC FULL” appears, even though the number of tracks
and recording time do not reach the limit.
The JOIN function sometimes does not work.
The remaining time on the MD does not increase even
when tracks are erased.
The sound drops out during fast forward or fast reverse.
The amount of recorded time on the MD added to the
amount of remaining time is shorter than the MD’s total
possible recording time.
MD limitations
The MD records data in an original format that differs from that of conventional cassette tapes or DATs. Since there are
some limitations with this recording format, the following types of symptoms may occur. These symptoms are not
malfunctions.
