starts charging automatically.
■
Charging time
Charging is completed in about 3 hours, and the display of remaining amount of battery will go out.
90 % of charging is completed. If you leave it for another
2 hours, the battery will be fully charged.
●
Charge the battery within the range of 5°C - 35°C
(41°F - 95°F).
●
The unit can be left in the charging state after it is
completed.
Refresh
If you charge the battery before it runs out completely, the
operating time may be shortened. To avoid this, the battery is discharged automatically and refreshed.
MiniDisc System Limitations
The unit may have the following symptoms whilst recording or editing. The unit is not out of order.
SYMPTOM LIMITATIONS
"D-FULL" or "T-FULL" appears even
though the MiniDisc still has recording
time left.
The remaining recording time does not increase even though you erased tracks.
The total of the recorded time and the remaining time does not match the maximum recordable time.
Combine function does not work.
Sound skips in fast reverse/forward.
A track number is created in the middle of
a track.
Even if "LP :" is entered at the top of the
name, "LP :" is not displayed.
More than the limited numbe r o f tra c ks (255 ) c annot be reco rded reg ardless of the recording time. If the MiniDisc is recorded or edited repeatedly
or it has scratche s (recording sk ips scratched parts), you may no t be able
to record the maximum number of tr acks described above. If the total
number of character informatio n (disc, group, and t rack names) exceeds
1,700, the MD cannot be edite d.
The unit does not count non-recorded portions that last 12 or fewer seconds to display the remaining rec ording time. Th e time may n ot inc rease
even if you erase short tracks.
One cluster (approximat ely 2 seconds) is the minimum unit f or recording.
For example, a 3-second track uses 2 clusters (approximately 4 seconds). Therefore, the actual re cordab le time may b e shorter than the d isplayed time.
(The number of seconds indicates that in the stereo recording mode
(SP). It varies dependin g on the recording mode.)
A MiniDisc on which recording and editing are repe ated may not allow the
combine function.
If one track is divided and rec orded in separate places on a repeatedly
recorded or edited MiniDisc, sound may skip.
A track number may b e cre ated if there ar e scrat ches or dust on the MiniDisc.
If "LP :" is entered at the top of the 2 times/4 times long recorded track
(LP2/LP4), "LP :" will no t be displayed. Enter ot her symbols th an ":" after
"LP".
