Playing Back MDs
To stop during play, press 7.
To remove the disc, press 0 (MD eject) on the unit.
• Pressing 0 (MD eject) button also turns on the unit if the MD is unlocked.
• If the MD has a disc/performer name or track has a title
The title will be shown at the lower part of the display for a while. (If a
title is long and cannot be shown at a time, the unit scrolls the title to show
the entire title.)
• About recording length mode
MDs are played back in the same recording length mode as they were
recorded. When an MD starts playing, the recording length mode of the
currently playing track appears on the display.
SP: Indicates the tracks recorded in standard stereo recording mode on
this unit or those recorded on an MD recorder incompatible with
MDLP (see below).
LP2: Indicates the tracks recorded in 2 times long-hour stereo recording
mode.
LP4: Indicates the tracks recorded in 4 times long-hour stereo recording
mode.
For more details, see page 29.
MDLP features a new sound compression method (ATRAC3, see page
60) and enables a 2 times (or 4 times) long-hour stereo recording and
playing function.
The MDLP logo is marked on the MD recorders and players compatible
with MDLP. It is also marked on MDs pre-recorded in ATRAC3
(excluding recordable MDs).
