Although tracks have been deleted, the
remaining time on the MD disc does not
increase.
When the remaining time on an MD disc is dis-
played, sections less than 12 seconds are ignored. So
even if short tracks are eliminated, the total time indi-
cated does not increase.
W W W W hen elapsed recording time and remaining
time are added up, it doesn’t match the pos-
sible recording time of the MD disc.
Normally, the shortest possible recording unit is 1
cluster (about 2 seconds). Even if the recording is
less than this, 2 seconds of space is taken up on the
disc, so the actual possible recording time may be
less than expected. Furthermore, if a scratch occurs
on the disc itself, the area where it exists is automati-
cally voided for use, so the recording time possible in
that section is subtracted from total recording time.
Tracks cannot be combined.
Tracks created through editing operation may not be
able to be combined with other tracks. If the record-
ing mode (ST, MONO, LP2 or LP4) of two tracks
differs, they cannot be combined.
If three or more tracks are to be combined, tracks less
than a certain length (depending upon recording
mode) cannot be used. The approximate minimum
times are 9 seconds for ST mode, 17 seconds for
MONO and LP2 mode, and 33 seconds for LP4
mode.
When search operation is performed, the
sound breaks up.
When searching on tracks created through editing
operations, the sound will sometimes break up.
When dubbing from CD to MD, space is cre-
ated between tracks.
In order to properly record the cueing positions
between tracks, space of a certain length is created. If
such spaces between tracks are not desired, make the
following settings before dubbing.
• Connect the CD digital output to the MD digital
input
• Select OPTICAL as the input source
• In the REC sub-menu of the MD menu:
1. Set the SYNC MODE option to ON
2. Set the A_TRK option to DD
Track numbers are not properly entered.
When recording a CD through a digital connection,
short tracks are sometimes created depending upon
the recorded content of the CD. Also, when the Auto
Track function is used and track numbers are auto-
matically generated, depending upon the program
material, the track numbers are not properly
assigned.
The “UTOC Reading” indication stays on for a
longer time.
When a new recordable MD disc is used, the “UTOC
Reading” indication is displayed longer than usual.
For title input, less than 1,700 characters are
available.
The title recording area is divided into 7-character
units. Even if a title is created with less than 7 char-
acters, that amount of space is still taken up. There-
fore, in actual use, you may not be able to input a
total of 1,700 characters.
