Explanation (continued)
Since there is no change in the method of recording onto MD,
existing discs can be used, and the recorded music data can
be played back on existing MD devices * . With SonicStage on
your computer, you can easily perform various editing
operations and input characters including kanji and hiragana.
“Song limit exceeded” or “Disk capacity full” is displayed
even though there is enough room for the number of songs
and recording time. If you repeat recording and erasing on the
same disc, the data for one track may not be recorded
continuously, but may be divided into vacant areas. Even in
such cases, the minidisc quickly finds the separated data and
plays them in order. However, each piece of divided data is
treated the same as a song segment (one song), and recording
becomes impossible when the number reaches 255 (2,047 on
a disc used in Hi-MD mode ). To add more songs, erase
unnecessary songs before recording.
MD is recorded by a method different from conventional
cassettes and DAT . Therefore, there are some system
restrictions, and the following symptoms may appear. Please
note that these are not malfunctions.
Using advanced copyright protection technology with
OpenMG and MagicGate, this format enables high-speed
transfer of music data from a computer to an MD device by
connecting the computer and MD device with a USB (Universal
Serial Bus) cable.
This unit adopts "ATRAC3: Adaptive Transform Acoustic
Coding 3" in addition to the conventional audio compression
technology "ATRAC : Adaptive Transform Acoustic Coding" .
Based on psychoacoustic theory, this technology cuts out
sounds that cannot be heard by the human ear and compresses
music data to about 1/10th. As a result, the MD long-time
recording mode "MDLP : Mini Disc Long Play mode", which
doubles or quadruples the recording time, is possible. An 80-
minute disc can be recorded/played for approximately 160
minutes in LP2 mode and approximately 320 minutes in LP4
mode .
This unit has two modes, "Hi-MD mode" and "MD mode", and
automatically detects the mode of the inserted disc. When a
blank disc is inserted into this unit, you can select which mode
to record in (except for 1GB discs exclusively for the Hi-MD
standard). Set the disc mode setting ( page 66) in the menu
to “Hi-MD” or “MD” before recording.
An audio recording method that does not use digital
compression. If you record using this method, you can enjoy
the same sound quality with MD as with CD .
