System limitations

There are some system limitations of the linear PCM recorder. The issues described below are not 
malfunctions of the linear PCM recorder.

You cannot record files up to 

the maximum recordable time.

If a mixture of recording modes are used for recording, the maximum 

recordable time depends on which recording modes are used 

because the maximum recordable time varies among recording 

modes. Therefore, the sum of the total recorded time indicated by the 

counter (elapsed time) and the remaining recordable time may be 

shorter than the maximum recordable time.

You cannot display or play back 

music files in order.

If you have transferred music files using your computer, those files are 

sorted by the track number of meta-data or by the filename.

A file is divided automatically.

The file being recorded has reached the maximum size limit (4 GB for 

an LPCM file, and 1 GB for an MP3 file). Therefore, it is automatically 

divided.

You cannot enter lowercase 

characters.

Depending on the combination of characters used for the name of 

a folder made on your computer, the characters may change to all 

capitals.

Unreadable characters or “

ÿ” 

are displayed in a folder name, 

a folder name, file name, artist 

name, or title.

A character which cannot be displayed on the linear PCM recorder has 

been used. The linear PCM recorder cannot support or display some 

special characters and symbols that can be entered using Windows 

Explorer or Mac Finder.

When you set A-B repeat 

playback, the set positions 

move a little.

Depending on the files, the set positions may move.

The remaining recordable time 

becomes shorter when you 

divide a file.

You need a certain amount of free space for a file management 

area to divide a file. Therefore, the remaining recordable time will be 

shortened.
