System Limitations
The recording system in your 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
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
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 when CD tracks are divided into several smaller tracks
during digital recording. Also, when the Track Marking
Function is activated during recording, track numbers may
not marked as in the original depending on the program
source.
Display Messages
The following table explains the various messages that
appear in the display. Also, the deck has a Self-
Diagnosis Function (see page 43).
