In Case Of Difficulty - Teac M-1MD Manual De Usuario

In case of trouble with the unit, please take
the trouble to look through this chart and
see if you can solve the problem yourself
before you call your dealer or TEAC service
center.
System Restrictions
Because of the different recording systems
used by Compact Cassette, DAT, etc., the
MD (Mini Disc) is subjected to some system
restrictions. These restrictions may result in
the following problems. These are normal
and are not malfunctions.
"Disc Full" is displayed before the
available recording time expires.
e "Disc Full" is displayed whenever the
number of allowable tracks is reached,
regardless of the recording time still
available. With the MD system, it is not
possible to record more than 255
tracks. If you want to record more
tracks, erase unnecessary tracks,
record them on another MD, or use the
editing procedure to combine existing
tracks.
"Disc Full" is displayed even though both
the number of tracks and the recording time
have not been filled.
e Whenever emphasis data or other
signal enhancements are switched on-
off in the middle of tracks, the track is
separated at that point and "Disc Full"
may be displayed regardless of the
recording time and number of tracks.
The remaining recording time of an MD
does not increase although several tracks
have been erased.
e The remaining recording time display
ignores tracks shorter than 12
seconds. Therefore, the time may not
increase even if you have erased
several short tracks.
The total elapsed recording time and
remaining recording time does not coincide
with the available recording time.
e The minimum unit for recording data is
usually the cluster (approx. 2 seconds).
Data of less than 2 seconds still uses
the 2-second space, so actual
available recording time becomes
shorter than rated. Also, if the MD is
scratched, the scratched sections are
automatically deleted and the time
available is decreased accordingly.

In case of difficulty

Tracks cannot be combined.
e Tracks created by other editing
operations sometimes cannot be
combined.
Audio is interrupted during search.
e When a track created by an editing
operation is searched, audio is
sometimes interrupted.
Track numbers are not assigned correctly.
e When a CD is recorded through a
digital connection, short tracks may be
recorded depending on the contents of
the CD. Also, when auto track marking
is performed, the track numbers may
not be assigned correctly in some
cases.
Note the following when you attempt to
perform recording while
(overwriting) the previous recording:
< The remaining recording time of MD
may not be displayed correctly.
< After repeated overwrite operations, it
might be impossible to overwrite
recording. In this case, first edit the
previous recording (by erasing tracks,
etc.) then proceed to the overwrite
operation.
< The remaining recording time is
shorter after recording than it was
before recording.
< The overwrite operation is not
recommended if the track to be
overwritten contains noise. Since
recording is performed on a per-
cluster basis (approx. 2 seconds),
overwriting a noisy track may alter the
length of the track.
< It is not possible to assign a track title
during overwrite recording.
< Displayed time information may not be
correct with monaural discs.
