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 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 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 mode), 24 seconds (in LP2 mode
or monaural), or 48 seconds (in LP4 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 mode), 4 seconds (in LP2 mode or monaural), or 8
seconds (in LP4 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 2,047 (on a
disc used in Hi-MD mode) and further recording is not possible.
, To continue recording, erase unnecessary tracks.
