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.

recording mode.
Recording mode Recording speed
Stereo Quadruple speed
LP2 Stereo Double speed
LP4 Stereo Double speed

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.
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.

function to MD.

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 a 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.
