Editing cannot be done as specified.
MDs do not record a track continuously, but instead record the data efficiently
while searching for empty space on the disc. This lets you record and edit an
MD repeatedly. However, when you repeatedly record and edit an MD, the
track is recorded bit by bit scattered over the disc. These scattered tracks cannot
be combined with other tracks due to the system limitations of MDs.
If a 3-digit code and a message appear alternately, the Self-
diagnosis display function is working. See the previous page.
