Troubleshooting and error codes

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 (approximate-ly 4 seconds). Therefore, the actual recordable time may be shorter than the displayed time.
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.
