MiniDisc System Limitations
The unit may have the following symptoms whilst recording or editing. The unit is not out of order.
SYMPTOM LIMITATIONS
"DISC FULL" or "TOC FULL" appears 
even though the MiniDisc still has re-
cording time left.
More than 255 tracks (maximum) cannot be recorded regardless of 
the recording time. If the MiniDisc is recorded or edited repeatedly or 
if it has scratches (recording skips scratched parts), you may not be 
able to record the maximum tracks above.
The remaining recording time does not 
increase even though you erased 
tracks.
The unit does not count non-recorded portions that last 12 or fewer 
seconds to display the remaining recording time. The time may not 
increase even if you erase short tracks.
The total of the recorded time and the 
remaining time does not match the max-
imum recordable time.
One cluster (approximately 2 seconds) is the minimum unit for re-
cording. For example, a 3-second track uses 2 clusters (approxi-
mately 4 seconds). Therefore, the actual recordable time may be 
shorter than the displayed time.
(The number of seconds indicates that in the stereo recording mode 
(SP). It varies depending on the recording mode.)
Combine function does not work.
A MiniDisc on which recording and editing are repeated may not al-
low the combine function.
Sound skips in fast reverse/forward.
If one track is divided and recorded in separate places on a repeat-
edly recorded or edited MiniDisc, sound may skip.
A track number is created in the middle 
of a track.
A track number may be created if there are scratches or dust on the 
MiniDisc.
