Recording for long times
This system has two long time recording
modes: LP2 and LP4 (MDLP recording). When
recording in LP2 Stereo mode, you can record
2 times the normal recordable time, and in LP4
Stereo mode, you can record 4 times the
normal recordable time. In addition, the
recordable time for monaural recording is
approximately double the stereo recording
time.
LP4 Stereo mode (4× long time recording
mode) achieves a long stereo recording time by
use of a special compression system. When
placing emphasis on sound quality, Stereo
recording or LP2 Stereo recording (2× long
time recording mode) is recommended.
1 Press REC MODE repeatedly to select
the recording mode.
The display changes cyclically as follows:
STEREO REC (Stereo) t LP2 REC (LP2
Stereo) t LP4 REC (LP4 Stereo) t
MONO REC (Monaural)
2 Start the recording.
The source is recorded in the selected
recording mode.
Notes
• The selected recording mode is kept even after
recording has finished, so be sure to check the
recording mode before recording.
• Tracks recorded in MDLP (LP2 or LP4) Stereo
mode cannot be played back on a system that does
not support MDLP mode.
• Even if you press REC MODE during recording or
recording pause, you cannot change the recording
mode.
• Even if you press REC MODE repeatedly to select
MONO, the monitor signal during recording does
not become monaural.
• You cannot use S.F Edit and some other MD edit
functions for tracks recorded in MDLP mode.
• If you press REC MODE repeatedly to select
MONO REC, “MONO” appears.
To add “LP:” at the beginning of a
track name during MDLP recording
“LP:” appears when you try to play the track on
a system that does not support MDLP mode.
This convenient function lets you know at a
glance that the track cannot be played back.
The factory setting is “On”.

Notes
• The recorded “LP:” is a stamp which appears to
indicate that the track cannot be played back when
you try to play the track on system that does not
support MDLP mode. It does not appear for systems
that support MDLP mode.
• When set to “On”, “LP:” is recorded as the track
name, so the number of characters that can be input
to an MD is reduced. In addition, when you copy a
track name with “LP:” added, “LP:” is
automatically added to the copied track name. If
you divide an “LP:” track using the Divide function,
“LP:” is also added to the latter track.
