    System limitations

    The recording system in your MiniDisc recorder is radically different from those used incassette and DAT decks and is characterized by the limitations described below. Note,however, that these limitations are due to the inherent nature of the MD recording systemitself and not to mechanical causes.

    Cause

    When 254 tracks have been recorded on the disc,TR FULL appears regardless of the totalrecorded time. More than 254 tracks cannot berecorded on the disc. To continue recording, eraseunnecessary tracks.

    Repeated recording and erasing may causefragmentation and scattering of data. Although

    those scattered data can be read, each fragment iscounted as a track. In this case, the number oftracks may reach 254 and further recording is notpossible. To continue recording, eraseunnecessary tracks.

    When the data of a track is fragmented, the trackmark of a fragment under 12 seconds long cannot

    be erased. You cannot combine a track recorded instereo and a track recorded in monaural; nor canyou combine a track recorded with digitalconnection and a track recorded with analogconnection.

    Tracks of under 12 seconds in length are notcounted and so erasing them may not lead to anincrease in the recording time.

    Recording is done in minimum units of 2 secondseach, no matter how short the material. Even ifthe last unit of recording is less than 2 seconds, itis counted as a unit of 2 seconds. Then 2 secondsspace is put before recording starts again toprevent the last unit of the previous track from

    being erased. The contents recorded may thus beshorter than the maximum recording capacity.

    The fragmentation of data may cause sounddropout while searching because the tracks areplayed in higher speed than normal playback.

    Symptom

    TR FULL appears evenbefore the disc has reached themaximum recording time (60 or74 minutes).

    TR FULL appears evenbefore the disc has reached the

    maximum track number orrecording time.

    Track marks cannot be erased.

    The remaining recording timedoes not increase even aftererasing numerous short tracks.

    The total recorded time and theremaining time on the disc maynot total the maximumrecording time (60 or 74minutes).

    The edited tracks may exhibitsound dropout during searchoperations.

    What is an MD?

    How MiniDisc w orksMiniDisc (MD) comes in two types:premastered (prerecorded) andrecordable (blank). Premastered MDs,

    recorded at music studios, can be playedback almost endlessly. However, theycan't be recorded on or over like cassettetapes. To record, you must use a"recordable MD".

    Premastered M Ds

    Premastered MDs are recorded andplayed like regular CDs. A laser beamfocuses on the pits in the surface of the

    MD and reflects the information back tothe lens in the recorder. The recorder thendecodes the signals and plays them backas music.

    Record able M Ds

    Recordable MDs, which use magneto-optical (MO) technology, can be recordedagain and again. The laser inside therecorder applies heat to the MD,demagnetizing the magnetic layer of theMD. The recorder then applies a magneticfield to the layer. This magnetic field

    corresponds exactly to the audio signalsgenerated by the connected source. (Thenorth and south polarities equate todigital "1" and "0".) The demagnetizedMD adopts the polarity of the magneticfield, resulting in a recorded MD.

    * Whether you should plug the headphonesdirectly to2/REMOTE on the main unit orto a remote control, use only headphoneswith stereo mini-plugs.

    User TOC Area Music Data

    How the MiniDisc got so smallThe 2.5-inch MiniDisc, encased in aplastic cartridge that looks like a 3.5-inchdiskette (see illustration above), uses anew digital audio compressiontechnology called ATRAC (AdaptiveTRansform Acoustic Coding). To store

    more sound in less space, ATRAC extractsand encodes only those frequencycomponents actually audible to thehuman ear.

    Quick Random AccessLike CDs, MDs offer instantaneousrandom access to the beginning of anymusic track. Premastered MDs are

    recorded with location addressescorresponding to each music selection.Recordable MDs are manufactured with aUser TOC Area to contain the order ofthe music. The TOC (Table of Contents)system is similar to the directorymanagement system of floppy disks. Inother words, starting and endingaddresses for all music tracks recorded onthe disc are stored in this area. This lets

    you randomly access the beginning of anytrack as soon as you enter the tracknumber (AMS), as well as label thelocation with a track name as you woulda file on a diskette.

    Shock-Resistant Mem oryOne major drawback of optical readsystems is that they can skip or mutewhen subjected to vibration. The MDsystem resolves this problem by using abuffer memory that stores audio data.

    Contains the order and start/endpoints of the music.
