System limitations The recording system in your MiniDisc recorder is radically different from those used in cassette 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 system itself and not to mechanical causes. Symptom Cause "TR FULL" appears even before the disc has reached the maximum recording time (60, 74, or 80 minutes). When 254 tracks have been recorded on the disc, "TR FULL" appears regardless of the total recorded time. More than 254 tracks cannot be recorded on the disc. To continue recording, erase unnecessary tracks. "TR FULL" appears even before the disc has reached the maximum track number or recording time. Repeated recording and erasing may cause fragmentation and scattering of data. Although those scattered data can be read, each fragment is counted as a track. In this case, the number of tracks may reach 254 and further recording is not possible. To continue recording, erase unnecessary tracks. Track marks When the data of a track is fragmented, the track cannot be erased. mark of a fragment under 12 seconds long The remaining (recorded in stereo), 24 seconds long (recorded recording time in monaural or LP2 mode), or 48 seconds long does not increase (recorded in LP4 mode) cannot be erased. You even after cannot combine a track recorded in different erasing recording modes, e.g., a track recorded in stereo numerous short and a track recorded in monaural; nor can you tracks. combine a track recorded with digital connection and a track recorded with analog connection. Tracks of under 12 seconds, 24 seconds, or 48 seconds in length are not counted and so erasing them may not lead to an increase in the recording time. 67
