System limitations

The MD recording system in the unit 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 disc has
reached the maximum recording time (60, 74, or
80 minutes)

When 255 tracks have been recorded on the disc,
Disc Full" lights up regardless of the total recorded
time. More than 255 tracks cannot be recorded on
the disc. To record new tracks, erase unnecessary
tracks or use another 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 the Disc
Full indication to light up.

The remaining recordable time does not
increase even after erasing numerous short
tracks

Tracks of under 12 seconds in length are not
counted and so erasing them may not lead to an
increase in the remaining recordable 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 disc may not total the maximum
recording time (60, 74, or 80 minutes)
Recording is done in minimum units of 2 seconds
each, no matter how short the material is. The
contents recorded may thus be shorter than the
maximum recording capacity. Disc space may also
be further reduced by scratches.

Track created through editing may exhibit
sound dropout during searching 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)
when certain CDs are recorded with the Level Sync
On for automatic track marking.

MD Reading appears for a long time

If the inserted recordable disc is bland new, MD
Reading" appears on the display longer than those
that have been used.
