MD Restrictions
Cause
The number of tracks that can be recorded on an MD is limited
regardless of the time period. It is not possible to record a 255th
track.
After partial erasure and re-recording are repeated, the disc comes
to contain many idle spaces here and there. When recording data
on such a disc, the MD recorder distributes the data of a single
track in many locations. When such separated sections increase,
“DISC FULL” may be displayed during recording.
When a section below 8 seconds is created by separation, the
track containing it cannot be joined with another track using the
JOIN function, and the remaining recording time does not increase
even when such a section is erased. Also, the audio may be
interrupted after fast forwarding or fast reversing a track recorded
in separate sections.
The MD always spend a continuous space of at least 2 seconds
for recording data even when it is shorter than 2 seconds. When a
large number of non-used spaces below 2 seconds are produced
in a disc as a result of the above, the available recording time in
the disc is shortened.
The MD uses a unique data recording format that is different from the formats used by Cassette tape and DAT.
Due to the restrictions imposed by this MD recording format, following symptoms may be observed. Note that
these symptoms do not indicate malfunction of the product.
Symptom
“DISC FULL” is displayed
before the available recording
time indicated on the disc has
been used.
“DISC FULL” is displayed
although there remains margin
in both the number of tracks
and available recording time.
The JOIN operation is not
possible.
The remaining recording time
does not increase after some
tracks are erased.
Sound is interrupted after fast
forward or fast reverse.
The total of the elapsed
recording time and remaining
recording time is less than the
available recording time
indicated on the disc.
