Recording on MDs
Recording for Long Times
In addition to normal stereo recording, this deck has two
recording 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.
Note
MDs recorded in LP2 or LP4 mode can be played back only on
decks that support the MD LP format. Conventional MD decks
cannot play MDs recorded in LP2 or LP4 mode.
