Additional Information Display Messages The following table explains the various messages that appear in the display. Also, the deck has a SelfDiagnosis Function (see page 43). Message Meaning Blank Disc A new (blank) or erased MD has been inserted. Cannot Copy An attempt was made to make a second copy from a digitally dubbed MD (see page 39). Cannot Edit An attempt was made to edit the MD during Program or Shuffle Play or the MD is record-protected. CD Error !! An operational error has occurred in the CD player section. Wait a few seconds, and then try the operation again. Disc Full!! The MD is full (see "System Limitations" on this page). Impossible The deck cannot do the specified editing operation (see pages 26 to 34). Name Full!! The titling capacity of the MD has reached its limit (about 1,700 characters). No Disc There is no MD in the deck. No Name The disc or track has not been labeled. Premastered An attempt was made to record on the premastered MD. ProgramFull The program contains the maximum number of tracks. You cannot set additional tracks. -Retry- The deck is retrying reading data from the CD (see page 23). Initialize (flashing This happens when the deck has been when you turn on disconnected from the AC power source the deck) for certain period of time. System Limitations The recording system in your deck 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. "Disc Full!!" lights up even before the MD has reached the maximum recording time When 255 tracks have been recorded on the MD, "Disc Full!!" lights up regardless of the total recorded time. More than 255 tracks cannot be recorded on the MD. To continue recording, erase unnecessary tracks or use another recordable MD. "Disc Full!!" lights up before the maximum number of tracks is reached Fluctuations in emphasis within tracks are sometimes interpreted as track intervals, incrementing the track count and causing "Disc Full!!" to light up. The remaining recording time does not increase even after erasing numerous short tracks Tracks under 12 seconds in length are not counted and so erasing them may not lead to an increase in the recording time. Some tracks cannot be combined with others Track combination may become impossible when tracks are edited. The total recorded time and the remaining time on the MD may not total the maximum recording time 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. Tracks created through editing may exhibit sound dropout during search operations. Track numbers are not recorded correctly Incorrect assignment or recording of track numbers may result when CD tracks are divided into several smaller tracks during digital recording. Also, when the Track Marking Function is activated during recording, track numbers may not marked as in the original depending on the program source. 36
