System Limitations Of Mds; Specifications - Sony MDM-X4 Mode D'emploi

System Limitations of MDs

The recording system in your MD deck has 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 before the MD has reached the
maximum recording time (60 or 74 minutes)
When 255 songs have been recorded on the MD, "DISC
FULL" lights up regardless of the total recorded time. More
than 255 songs cannot be recorded on the MD. To continue
recording, erase unnecessary songs or use another
recordable MD.
"DISC FULL" lights up before the maximum number of
songs (255) is reached
Fluctuations in emphasis within songs are sometimes
interpreted as song intervals, increasing the song count and
causing "DISC FULL" to light up.
"TOC Reading" is displayed continuously
The "TOC Reading" display lasts longer than usual when a
brand new disc is inserted.
The total recorded time and the remaining time on the
MD do not total to the maximum recording time
This unit displays the length of the largest continuous blank
area as the remaining time. Therefore, if there are several
separate blank spaces, the remaining time will only display a
time equivalent to the largest continuous blank space.
If there is a 1 minute blank space and a 2 minute blank
space, the remaining time display will be "2" minutes. If you
then record 1 minute and 30 seconds of the 2 minute blank,
the remaining time display will become "1" minute.
It is not possible to make new recordings on a song
which was modified using the Section Edit or Song
Combine functions
In this case copy the entire song (using Song Copy), then
perform the desired recording or edit operation on the new
copy of the song.
It is not possible to shorten part of a song using the
Section Edit or Song Edit functions
This unit organizes the audio data in sound groups and
clusters. The minimum size of these units varies according to
the number of tracks specified in the system setting (page
17). With 4 tracks, units may not be less than approximately
4 seconds. With 2 tracks, units may not be less than
approximately 8 seconds. With 1 tracks, units may not be
less than approximately 16 seconds.
Discs with Emphasis information are not properly De-
emphasized during playback.
During playback and recording, this unit always handles
emphasis information as if it were turned "OFF".
Additional Information
Unit enters the play/pause mode between songs during
continuous playback.
This unit enters the play/pause mode momentarily before
resuming playback each time it reaches a new song number
or division created using Song Divide.
