MD (Minidisc) Messages

Minidisc Limitations

The minidisc records information in an original format that differs from that of conventional cassette tapes or DATs. Since there are some lim-
itations with this recording format, the following types of conditions may arise. These conditions are not malfunctions.

Action

BLANK DISC

A disc has been inserted with nothing
recorded on it.

Condition

Cause

“DISC FULL” is displayed, even though
the possible recording time is not used up.

With the minidisc, there is a maximum number of tracks which can be recorded, regardless of
time. More than 254 tracks cannot be recorded on a disc.

“DISC FULL” is displayed, even though
the number of tracks and recording time
are not at the limit.

When parts of the disc are erased and re-recorded, blank spots are created on the disc. When
recording to such a disc, one track of data is divided and recorded in the blank areas. During
recording, when these divided parts become numerous, the “DISC FULL” message may be
displayed. When a part of 8 seconds or less is created by division, that track cannot be joined
by the JOIN function, and even if it is erased, the remaining usable time on the disc does not
increase. Tracks divided into small pieces may skip when fast forward or fast rewind is done.

The JOIN function sometimes does not
work.

The remaining usable time on the disc
does not increase even when tracks are
erased.

The sound skip during fast forward or fast
rewind.

The amount of recorded time on the disc
added to the amount of remaining time
falls shout of the disc’s total possible
recording time.

Minidiscs must have at least 2 seconds of continuous space in order to record. For this rea-
son, the actual recording time of discs with a lot of short blank areas becomes shorter.
