When an MD deck is in record-pause mode, the disc is spinning and the magnetic head is in contact with it. How long can it safely be left in this state?
A very high durability of the (magnetic head) contact cycle can be achieved, e.g., more than a million passes. Taking the worst case scenario, an MD machine left in record-pause mode at the lead-in (i.e., innermost) area of the disc and running at the highest linear velocity would spin at 836 rpm. At this speed, 1 million revolutions (passes) would take approx. 20 hours. Record-pause for several hours is, therefore, possible.
