Basic
In regard to long-play MD stereo recording and playback
This unit is compatible with long-play MD stereo recording and playback (compatible with MDLP).
The recording modes are stereo recording, monaural long-play recording, stereo 2x long-play record-
ing, and stereo 4x long-play recording, and use is possible for all music sources which can be recorded by
this MD.
Mixed recording of tracks with different recording modes into the same MD also is possible.
Set the recording mode in advance, and then perform the recording operation.
In regard to long-play stereo recording (LP2, LP4)
Stereo long-play recording permits long-play recording by further increasing the digital compression
ratio for the audio signal in comparison with stereo recording and monaural recording. The LP4 mode
has a higher compression ratio than the LP2 mode and can record for a longer time.
÷ Tracks recorded on an MD with stereo 2x long-play recording (LP2) or stereo 4x long-play recording (LP4) with
this unit can be played back on other equipment compatible with MDLP.
÷ With stereo recording on MD, the quality changes with increasing recording time. Use stereo recording (STE-
REO) for recording with the best quality.
Stamp function (STAMP)
This is a function which automatically adds "LP:" in front of the titles of tracks recorded with stereo 2x
long-play recording (LP2) or stereo 4x long-play recording (LP4) with this unit. When the stamp func-
tion is used, "LP:" will be displayed in front of the track title.
"LP:" will not be displayed during playback with this unit. It is displayed only at the time of title editing.
"LP:" is displayed as the title only in case of playback on equipment not compatible with MDLP, when tracks
recorded by stereo long-play recording are being played.
With this unit, the stamp function (STAMP) can be switched ON ("LP:" is added) or OFF ("LP:" is not added).
Types of record mode
Stereo recording (STEREO):
The possible recording time is the time shown on the MD cartridge.
Stereo 2x long-play recording (LP2):
The recording is in stereo, but the recording time is approximately double the time shown on the MD cartridge.
Stereo 4x long-play recording (LP4):
The recording is in stereo, but the recording time is approximately four times the time shown on the MD cartridge.
Monaural long-play recording (MONO):
The recording is monaural, but the recording time is approximately double the time shown on the MD cartridge.
In case of playback of an MD recorded in stereo long-play mode on equipment not compatible with ste-
reo long-play mode
When it is tried to play tracks recorded in stereo long-play mode on equipment not compatible with stereo long-
play mode, playback status will be reached, but no sound will be put out. When an MD with mixed stereo or mono
recordings and stereo long-play recordings is played on such equipment, sound will be put out only for the stereo
or mono recordings.
When such an MD is played and the volume is turned up excessively during a portion where no sound is put out,
sound with a large volume will be put out suddenly when a track recorded with stereo or mono is reached. Take
care not to turn up the volume excessively.
The MD editing functions have limitations in regard to tracks recorded in different recording modes.
