MD SYSTEM CAPABILITIES
MDs are recorded differently from cassettes. The MD recording system makes it possible to add or change disc and track titles after the recording is done.
It is also possible to change the playback order without making a new recording.
Because of these special features, the following symptoms may occur while using the MD. These symptoms are not an indication of a defect, but they
occur because of the methods used for storing digital data on the disc.
SYMPTOM
"Track Full" may appear even when there is blank space
available on the data area of the MD.
"Disc Full" may appear when blank space remains on the
MD.
There may be times when the total remaining time on the
MD does not increase when you erase many short tracks.
The total length of the recording time and remaining time
may not match the specified recording time of the MD.
Cannot combine tracks while editing.
When using the SEARCH feature, the sound skips.
Note:
You cannot copy a CD to an MD, then make another digital copy of the MD which was recorded on this unit.
This copy protection system complies with the Serial Copy Management System. You can, however, make analog copies of MDs recorded on this unit.
25
The starting and ending points for each track are stored in the TOC.
When you erase or record a portion of the MD many times, or perform editing of existing
tracks, portions of each track may be located on various portions of the MD. For this reason,
the storage capacity of the TOC may be filled before the total number of tracks has reached
the limit (254 max.). When this occurs, no more recording can be done on the MD.
(You can record on the MD again if you use "ALL ERASE".)
If the MD is scratched or otherwise damaged, the damaged portion of the disc is skipped
during recording. If this occurs, the total available recording time will be reduced.
Short music tracks lasting less than 12 seconds may not be counted as tracks.
For this reason, blank space may not increase when you erase any short tracks.
The minimum unit of storage on the MD is one cluster, which is equivalent to 2 seconds
of recording time. If the recording is less than 2 seconds in length, one cluster is still
necessary to store the data. Therefore, the total recording time actually used may be less
than the full storage capacity of the MD.
In addition, if the disc has any damaged areas, they are skipped during recording, so the
defective area has the effect of reducing the available recording time.
When you repeatedly edit an MD, you may reach the point where further editing cannot be
done.
As well, you cannot combine a digital (i.e.-CD) recording track with an analog (i.e.-tuner
or cassette) recording track, nor a track recorded in stereo mode with one recorded in
monaural mode.
The sound may skip during music search when using an MD which was partially recorded
repeatedly.
