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.

MiniDisc System Limitations
The unit may have the following symptoms whilst recording or editing. The unit is not out of order. SYMPTOM "D-FULL" or "T-FULL" appears even though the MiniDisc still has recording time left. LIMITATIONS More than the limited number of tracks (255) cannot be recorded regardless of the recording time. If the MiniDisc is recorded or edited repeatedly or it has scratches (recording skips scratched parts), you may not be able to record the maximum number of tracks described above. If the total number of character information (disc, group, and track names) exceeds 1,700, the MD cannot be edited. 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. One cluster (approximately 2 seconds) is the minimum unit for recording. 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. 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. A MiniDisc on which recording and editing are repeated may not allow the combine function. If one track is divided and recorded in separate places on a repeatedly recorded or edited MiniDisc, sound may skip. A track number may be created if there are scratches 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 not be displayed. Enter other symbols than ":" after "LP".

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.
