Symptom Cause The total recorded time and the remaining time on the disc may not total the maximum recording time (60, 74, or 80 minutes). Normally, recording is done in minimum units of approximately 2 seconds (in stereo), 4 seconds (in monaural or LP2 mode), or 8 seconds (in LP4 mode). When recording is stopped, the last unit of recording always uses this unit of 2 seconds, 4 seconds, or 8 seconds even if the actual recording is shorter. Likewise, when recording is restarted after the stop, the recorder will automatically insert a blank space amounting to 2 seconds, 4 seconds, or 8 seconds before the next recording. (This is to prevent accidental erasing of a previous track whenever a new recording is started). Therefore, the actual recording time will decrease whenever a recording is stopped by a maximum of 6 seconds, 12 seconds, or 24 seconds. The edited tracks The fragmentation of data may cause sound may exhibit dropout while searching because the tracks are sound dropout played in higher speed than normal playback. during search operations. 57

The total
recorded time
and the
remaining time
on the disc may
not total the
maximum
recording time
(60, 74, or 80
minutes).
Normally, recording is done in minimum units
of approximately 2 seconds (in stereo), 4
seconds (in monaural or LP2 mode), or 8
seconds (in LP4 mode). When recording is
stopped, the last unit of recording always uses
this unit of 2 seconds, 4 seconds, or 8 seconds
even if the actual recording is shorter. Likewise,
when recording is restarted after the stop, the
recorder will automatically insert a blank space
amounting to 2 seconds, 4 seconds, or 8 seconds
before the next recording. (This is to prevent
accidental erasing of a previous track whenever
a new recording is started). Therefore, the actual
recording time will decrease whenever a
recording is stopped by a maximum of 6
seconds, 12 seconds, or 24 seconds.
The edited tracks
may exhibit
sound dropout
during search
operations.
The fragmentation of data may cause sound
dropout while searching because the tracks are
played in higher speed than normal playback.
