System limitations of
MDs
The recording system in your MD deck has the
limitations described below.
Note, however, that these limitations are due to
the inherent nature of the MD recording system
itself, not to mechanical causes.
“Disc Full!” appears before the
MD has reached the maximum
recording time
When 255 tracks have been recorded on the MD,
“Disc Full!” appears regardless of the total recorded
time. More than 255 tracks cannot be recorded on the
MD. To continue recording, erase unnecessary tracks
or use another recordable MD.
“Disc Full!” appears before the
maximum number of tracks (255)
is reached
Fluctuations in emphasis within tracks are sometimes
interpreted as track intervals, increasing the track
count and causing “Disc Full!” to appear.
The remaining recording time
does not increase even after
erasing numerous short tracks
Tracks shorter than 12 seconds* are not counted, so
erasing them may not increase the recording time.
* During stereo recording. (approximately 24 seconds
during monaural and LP2 stereo recording, or 48
seconds during LP4 stereo recording)
Some tracks cannot be
combined with others
Tracks may not be combined if they have been edited.
Notes on CDs
• Before playing, clean the CD with a cleaning cloth.
Wipe the CD from the centre out.
• Do not use a CD with tape, seals, or paste on it as
this may damage the player.
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,
commercially available cleaners, or antistatic spray
intended for vinyl LPs.
• Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat
sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car
parked in direct sunlight.
Cleaning the cabinet
Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild
detergent solution.
