MINIDISC SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
Even if the maximum recording time of a MiniDisc has not
been reached, “DISC FULL” or “TOC FULL” may be dis-
played.
When the number of tracks used reaches the limit, regardless
of the remaining recording time, further recording will be im-
possible. (Maximum number of tracks: 255)
Even if the number of tracks and the recording time have not
reached the limit, “DISC FULL” may be displayed.
When emphasis information (equalizer treatment in the treble
section) in a track switches on/off several times, each change
is assumed to be the beginning of a new track, which will
quickly use up all available track numbers and further record-
ing will be impossible, regardless of the remaining recording
time or the number of tracks on the original.
Even if several short tracks are erased, the remaining record-
ing time may not show an increase.
When the remaining recording time of a disc is displayed,
short tracks less than 8 seconds long may not be included in
the total.
Two tracks may not be combined in editing. For MiniDiscs on which repeated recording and editing opera-
tions were performed, the COMBINE function may not work.
The total of the recorded time and time remaining on a disc
may not add up to the maximum possible recording time.
A cluster (about 2 seconds) is normally the minimum unit of
recording. So, even if a track is less than 2 seconds long, it
will use about 2 seconds of space on the disc. Therefore, the
time actually available for recording may be less than the
remaining time displayed.
If there are scratches on discs, those sections will be auto-
matically avoided (no recording will be placed in those sec-
tions). Therefore, the recording time will be reduced.
