Precautions (continued)
System limitations of
MDs
The recording system in your MD deck has the
limitations described below.
Note, however, that these limitations are due to
the inherent nature of the MD recording system
itself, not to mechanical causes.
“Disc Full!” appears before the
MD has reached the maximum
recording time
When 255 tracks have been recorded on the MD,
“Disc Full!” appears 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!” appears before the
maximum number of tracks (255)
is reached
Fluctuations in emphasis within tracks are sometimes
interpreted as track intervals, increasing the track
count and causing “Disc Full!” to appear.
The remaining recording time
does not increase even after
erasing numerous short tracks
Tracks shorter than 12 seconds* are not counted, so
erasing them may not increase the recording time.
* During stereo recording:
In Monaural or LP2 mode: about 24 seconds
In LP4 mode: about 48 seconds
Some tracks cannot be
combined with others
Track combination may become impossible when
repeated editing has been done to the track(s).
The total recorded time and the
remaining time on the MD do not
add up to the maximum
recording time
Recording is done in minimum units of 2 seconds*
each, no matter how short the material. The recorded
contents may be shorter than the maximum recording
capacity. Disc space may also be reduced by
scratches.
* During stereo recording:
In Monaural or LP2 mode: about 4 seconds
In LP4 mode: about 8 seconds
Cleaning the cabinet
Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild
detergent solution.
To remove the speaker grille
Use both hands and pull the grille straight forward to
prevent the ribs from breaking.
