The total
recorded time
and the
remaining time
on the disc may
not total the
maximum
recording time
(60, 74, or 80
minutes).
Normally, recording is done in minimum units
of approximately 2 seconds (in stereo), 4seconds
(in monaural or LP2 mode), or 8 seconds (in
LP4 mode). When recording is stopped, the last
unit of recording always uses this unit of 2
seconds, 4 seconds, or 8 seconds even if the
actual recording is shorter. Likewise, when
recording is restarted after the stop, the recorder
will automatically insert a blank space
amounting to 2 seconds, 4 seconds, or 8 seconds
before the next recording. (This is to prevent
accidental erasing of a previous track whenever
a new recording is started.) Therefore, the actual
recording time will decrease whenever a
recording is stopped; a maximum of 6 seconds,
12 seconds, or 24 seconds compared to the
potential recording time for each stop.
The edited tracks
may exhibit
sound dropout
during search
operations.
The fragmentation of data may cause sound
dropout while searching because the tracks are
played in higher speed than normal playback.
