System Restrictions

Because of the different recording systems

used by Compact Cassette, DAT, etc., the

MD (Mini Disc) is subjected to some system

restrictions. These restrictions may result

in the following problems. These are

normal and are not malfunctions.

… "Track Full" is displayed before the

available recording time (max. 60 or 74

minutes) expires.

"Track Full" is displayed whenever the

number of allowable tracks is reached,

regardless of the recording time still

available. With the MD system, it is not

possible to record more than 254 tracks.

If you want to record more tracks, erase

unnecessary tracks, record them on

another MD, or use the editing proce-

dure to combine existing tracks.

… "Track Full" is displayed even though

both the number of tracks and the

recording time have not been filled.

Whenever emphasis data or other signal

enhancements are switched on-off in

the middle of tracks, the track is

separated at that point and "Track Full"

may be displayed regardless of the

recording time and number of tracks.

… The remaining recording time of an MD

does not increase although you have

erased several tracks.

The remaining recording time display

ignores tracks shorter than 12 seconds.

Therefore, the time may not increase if

you have erased several short tracks.

… The total elapsed recording time and

remaining recording time does not

coincide with the available recording

time (max. 60 or 74 minutes).

The minimum unit for recording data is

usually 6 clusters (approx. 12 seconds).

Data of less than 12 seconds still uses

the 12-second space, so actual available

recording time becomes shorter than

rated. Also, if the MD is scratched, the

scratched sections are automatically

deleted and the time available is

decreased accordingly.
