System Restrictions

Because of the different recording systems
used by Compact Cassette, DAT, etc., the
MD (Mini Disc) is subjected to some system
restrictions. These restrictions may result
in the following problems.
normal and are not malfunctions.
... "Track Full" is displayed before the
available recording time (max. 60 or 74
minutes) expires.
"Track Full" is displayed whenever the
number of allowable tracks is reached,
regardless of the recording time still
available. With the MD system, it is not
possible to record more than 254 tracks.
If you want to record more tracks, erase
unnecessary tracks, record them on
another MD, or use the editing
procedure to combine existing tracks.
... "Track Full" is displayed even though
both the number of tracks and the
recording time have not been filled.
Whenever emphasis data or other signal
enhancements are switched on-off in
the middle of tracks, the track is
separated at that point and "Track Full"
may be displayed regardless of the
recording time and number of tracks.
... The remaining recording time of an MD
does not increase although you have
erased several tracks.
The remaining recording time display
ignores tracks shorter than 12 seconds.
Therefore, the time may not increase if
you have erased several short tracks.
... The total elapsed recording time and
remaining recording time does not
coincide with the available recording
time (max. 60 or 74 minutes).
The minimum unit for recording data is
usually 6 clusters (approx. 12 seconds).
Data of less than 12 seconds still uses
the 12-second space, so actual available
recording time becomes shorter than
rated. Also, if the MD is scratched, the
scratched sections are automatically
deleted and the time available is
decreased accordingly.
