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 Before recording (CD-MD Synchro
Recording, etc.), press REC MODE
repeatedly to select the recording
mode.
Each time you press the button, the display
changes cyclically as follows:
STEREO REC (Stereo) t LP2 REC (LP2
Stereo) t LP4 REC (LP4 Stereo) t
MONO REC (Monaural)
2 Press MENU/NO on the remote.
To continue and record, follow the
procedures described on the various
recording pages.
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) 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.
To add LP: at the beginning of a
track title 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”.
