System limitations

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

You cannot record files up to the maximum recording time.

  • If you record files in a mixture of the recording modes, the recordable time varies between the maximum recording time of the highest recording mode and that of the lowest recording mode.
  • The sum of the number on the counter (elapsed recording time) and the remaining available recording time may be less than the linear PCM recorder's maximum recording time.

You cannot display or play back music files in order.

If you have transferred music files from your computer, those files may not be transferred in the same order due to system limitations. You can display and play back the music files in transferred order by transferring music files individually from the computer to the linear PCM recorder.

A file is divided automatically.

The file being recorded has reached the maximum size limit (2 GB for an LPCM/DSD file, and 1 GB for an MP3 file). Therefore, it is automatically divided.

You cannot enter lowercase characters.

Depending on the combination of the characters used for the folder name that was made on your computer, the characters may be changed to all capitals.

Unreadable characters or “ ” are displayed in a folder name, title, artist name, or file name.

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 are entered on a computer in Windows Explorer or Mac Finder.

When you set A-B repeat playback, the set positions move a little.

The set positions may move slightly depending on the files.

The remaining available recording time becomes shorter when you divide a file.

A certain amount of free space is required for the file management area to divide a file. Therefore, the remaining available recording time is shortened.
