When searching, the sound breaks up.
ª
When searching tracks created through editing operations,
the sound might sometimes break up.
Track numbers are not properly added.
ª
When recording a CD through a digital connection,
short tracks are sometimes created depending upon the
recorded content of the CD. In addition, when the auto
track function is used and track numbers are automati-
cally generated, the track numbers might not be properly
assigned depending on the material being recorded.
“TOC Reading” stays on for a long time.
ª
When a new recordable MD disc is loaded, the “TOC
Reading” indication is displayed longer than usual.
Less than 1,700 characters are available for
ª
title input.
The title recording area is divided into 7-character units.
Even if a title is created with less than 7 characters, that
amount of space is still used, so 1,700 characters might not
fit.
During use of this deck, some of the following issues might
arise. Please be aware that these are due to MD system
limitations and are not malfunctions.
“Track Full!” is displayed even when
ª
recordable time remains.
Regardless of the time, “Track Full!” is displayed when
the maximum number of tracks has been reached. The
maximum number of tracks that can be recorded is 255.
To make additional recordings, delete unwanted tracks,
combine tracks or use a different MD.
“Track Full!” is displayed even when
ª
recordable time remains and the number
of tracks has not reached the maximum.
Certain operations result in events that are treated as the
equivalent to track divisions, so “Track Full!” might be
displayed regardless of the total time or number of tracks.
Moreover, if short tracks (ST: 9 seconds or less, LP2:
17 seconds or less, MONO: 17 seconds or less, LP4: 33
seconds or less) have been created, “Track Full!” might be
displayed due to MD management conditions.
Even though tracks have been deleted,
ª
the remaining time on the MD does not
increase.
When the remaining time on an MD is displayed, sections
less than 12 seconds are ignored. So, even if short tracks
are erased, the time available does not increase.
When elapsed recording time and
ª
remaining time are added, their total does
not match the possible recording time of
the MD disc.
Normally, the shortest possible recording unit is 1 cluster
(about 2 seconds). Even if a recording is less than this,
2 seconds of space is taken up on the disc, so the actual
possible recording time might decrease. Furthermore,
if a scratch occurs on a disc, that area is automatically
excluded, reducing the possible recording time.
Tracks cannot be combined.
ª
Tracks created through editing might not be able to be
•
combined with other tracks.
If the recording mode (ST, MONO, LP2 or LP4) of two
•
tracks differs, they cannot be combined.
If you repeatedly erase parts and then record again,
•
empty gaps could occur on different parts of the disc.
Single tracks might be recorded in separate parts in the
gaps on a disc like this. Such a track cannot be com-
bined with other tracks if any of these recorded parts are
too short (about 9 seconds for STEREO mode, about 17
seconds for MONO mode and LP2 mode, and about 33
seconds for LP4 mode).
