System Limitations
The recording system in this MD 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 inherent to the MD
recording system and are not a result of mechanical
trouble.
“Disc Full” is displayed before reaching the
maximum recording time (60 or 74 minutes)
Once 255 tracks have been recorded on one MD, “Disc
Full” is displayed regardless of the total recorded time.
More than 255 tracks cannot be recorded on one MD. To
continue recording, erase all tracks, or use another
recordable MD.
The remaining recording time does not increase
even after erasing numerous short tracks
Tracks under 4 seconds in length are not counted.
Therefore erasing them may not lead to increase the
recording time.
“Reading” is displayed continuously
The “Reading” display lasts longer than normal when a
brand new (blank) disc is inserted.
The total recorded time and the remaining time
on the MD do not total to 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
Depending on the recorded content of the CD, short tracks
may be created when making a digital recording from CD.
EVENT REMAIN
PMD650 has limitation in number of tracks and divide
(255 Maximum). If remained number is decreased to less
than 51, "EV_REM=XXX" (XXX: 000 - 050) appears on
display for about 2 seconds after UTOC reading or writing
is completed.
If "EV_REM=000" or Remain time is "0:00", Recording and
Divide are not possible.
We recommend you to use new disks if EV_REM=XXX
appears on display.
