Display Messages
The following table explains the various messages that
appear in the display.
Meaning
A new (blank) or erased MD has been
inserted.
An attempt was made to make a second
copy from a digitally dubbed MD (see
page 34).
An attempt was made to edit the MD
during Program or Shuffle Play.
The MD is scratched or missing a TOC.
Erase all tracks on a new recordable MD
before use (see “Erasing all tracks on an
MD” on page 24).
The MD is full (see “System Limitations”
on this page).
An attempt was made to combine tracks
while playing back the first track.
An attempt was made to specify point B
before point A for the “A-B Erase”. Point
B can only be specified so that it comes
after point A.
The titling capacity of the MD has reached
its limit (about 1,700 characters).
There is no MD in the deck.
The inserted MD has a disc title but no
tracks.
The inserted MD is record-protected.
The first recording attempt failed due to a
disturbance or scratch on the MD, and a
second attempt is being made.
Due to vibrations to the deck or scratches
on the MD, several recording attempts
were made but with no success.
An attempt was made to combine tracks
that cannot be combined.
An attempt was made to erase a portion of
a track that cannot be erased.
The contents recorded by timer have
disappeared over time and are not be
available for saving to disc, or Program
Play could not be activated since the
program has disappeared over time.
System Limitations
The recording system in your MiniDisc deck is
radically different from those used in cassette and DAT
decks and is characterized by the limitations described
below. Note, however, that these limitations are due to
the inherent nature of the MD recording system itself
and not to mechanical causes.
“Disc Full” lights up even before the MD has reached the
maximum recording time (60 or 74 minutes)
When 255 tracks have been recorded on the MD, “Disc Full”
lights up regardless of the total recorded time. More than
255 tracks cannot be recorded on the MD. To continue
recording, erase unnecessary tracks or use another
recordable MD.
“Disc Full” lights up before the maximum number of
tracks is reached
Fluctuations in emphasis within tracks are sometimes
interpreted as track intervals, incrementing the track count
and causing “Disc Full” to light up.
The remaining recording time does not increase even
after erasing numerous short tracks
Tracks under 12 seconds in length are not counted and so
erasing them may not lead to an increase in the recording
time.
Some tracks cannot be combined with others
Track combination may become impossible when tracks are
edited.
The total recorded time and the remaining time on the
MD may not total the maximum recording time (60 or
74 minutes)
Recording is done in minimum units of 2 seconds each, no
matter how short the material. The contents recorded may
thus be shorter than the maximum recording capacity. Disc
space may also be further reduced by scratches.
Tracks created through editing may exhibit sound dropout
during search operations.
Track numbers are not recorded correctly
Incorrect assignment or recording of track numbers may
result (1) when CD tracks are divided into several smaller
tracks during digital recording, or (2) while recording certain
CDs with the “LEVEL-SYNC” indication on (i.e., the
automatic track marking function on).
