MD-related limitations
The recording system in your MD deck is radically
different from those used in cassette and DAT decks
and is characterized by the limitations described
below.
“Disc Full” lights up even before the disc has
reached the maximum recording time (60 or
74 minutes)
When 255 tracks have been recorded on the disc,
“Disc Full” lights up regardless of the total recorded
time. More than 255 tracks cannot be recorded on the
disc.
“Disc Full” lights up before the maximum
number of track is reached
Fluctuations in emphasis within tracks are sometimes
interpreted as track intervals, incrementing the track
count.
The total recorded time and the remaining
time on the disc may not equal the maximum
recording time (60 or 74 minutes)
Recording is done in minimum units of 2 seconds
each, no matter how short the material. The contents
recorded may thus be shorter than the maximum
recording capacity. Disc space may also be further
reduced by scratches.
“TOC Reading” indication appears for a long
time
If the inserted recorded disc is brand new, the “TOC
Reading” indication appears on the display longer than
for those that have been used.
Playback of a track of under 4 seconds may
be accompanied by sound dropout at the start
of the next track or mis-operation of the MD
deck.
