Recording for long times
In addition to normal stereo recording, this
system has two long time modes: LP2 and LP4.
When recording in LP2 mode, you can record 2
times the normal recordable time, and in LP4
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 Before recording (CD-MD Synchro
Recording, etc.), press REC MODE
repeatedly to select the recording mode
you want.
The display changes as follows:
STEREO REC t LP2 REC t LP4 REC
t MONO REC (Monaural) t STEREO
REC t
2 Start recording.
Tip
The selected recording mode is kept even after
recording has finished, so be sure to check the
recording mode before recording.
Notes
MDs recorded in MDLP (LP2 or LP4) mode cannot
be played back on a system that does not support
MDLP mode. In addition, you cannot perform S.F
Edit, etc., for MDs recorded in 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.
