Stereo sound is heard in
the headphones/
earphones while
recording in monaural. • This is normal. During digital recording, the sound will be stereo
in the headphones/earphones, even though the recorded sound is
monaural.
Momentary noise is
heard when recording. • Due to the special digital audio compression technology used in
LP4 stereo mode, momentary noise may occur on very rare
occasions with certain sound sources.
, Record in SP or LP2 mode.
The lid does not open
after recording. • The lid does not open until “SYSTEM FILE WRITING”
disappears in the display.
“TRACK FULL”
appears even before the
disc has reached the
maximum recording
time and the recording
cannot be done. • This is due to the MiniDisc system limitation. When 254 tracks (on
a standard disc) or 2,047 tracks (on a disc used in Hi-MD mode)
have been recorded on the disc, “TRACK FULL” appears
regardless of the total recorded time. More than 254 or 2,047 tracks
cannot be recorded on the disc.
, To continue recording, erase unnecessary tracks.
The remaining
recording time does not
increase even after
erasing numerous short
tracks. • This is due to the MiniDisc system limitation (in MD mode only).
Tracks of under 12 seconds (in SP stereo), 24 seconds (in LP2
stereo mode or monaural), or 48 seconds (in LP4 stereo mode) in
length are not counted and so erasing them may not lead to an
increase in the recording time.
The total recorded time
and the remaining time
on the disc may not total
the maximum recording
time (60, 74, or 80
minutes). • This is due to the MiniDisc system limitation (in MD mode only).
Normally, recording is done in minimum units of approximately 2
seconds (in SP stereo), 4 seconds (in LP2 stereo mode or
monaural), or 8 seconds (in LP4 stereo mode). When recording is
stopped, the last unit of recording always uses this unit of 2
seconds, 4 seconds, or 8 seconds even if the actual recording is
shorter. Likewise, when recording is restarted after the stop, the
recorder will automatically insert a blank space amounting to 2
seconds, 4 seconds, or 8 seconds before the next recording. (This is
to prevent accidental erasing of a previous track whenever a new
recording is started). Therefore, the actual recording time will
decrease whenever a recording is stopped by a maximum of 6
seconds, 12 seconds, or 24 seconds.
“TRACK FULL”
appears even before the
disc has reached the
maximum track number
or recording time. • This is due to the MiniDisc system limitation. Repeated recording
and erasing may cause fragmentation and scattering of data.
Although those scattered data can be read, each fragment is
counted as a track. In this case, the number of tracks may reach
254 (on a standard disc) or 2,047 (on a disc used in Hi-MD mode)
and further recording is not possible.
, To continue recording, erase unnecessary tracks.
