Long-time recording
(MDLP)
See the illustration in English text (page 25).
Select each recording mode according to the
recording time that you want.
Stereo recording is possible at 2 times (LP2) or
4 times (LP4) the normal recording time
(MDLP mode). MDs recorded in monaural or
MDLP mode can be played back only on MD
components with monaural or MDLP mode.
1 Press the jog dial.
2 Turn the jog dial until “REC MODE”
flashes in the display, and then press to
enter.
3 Turn the jog dial to select the desired
recording mode.
The recording mode can be selected
from “(none)” (standard stereo mode),
“LP2” (2
´ normal recording mode),
“LP4” (4
´ normal recording mode),
and “MONO” (monaural).
4 Press and slide REC to the right.
Recording starts.
5 Start the sound source.
When you do not want “LP:”
added at the beginning of the
track
When recording in MDLP mode, this recorder
adds “LP:” at the front of every track name
automatically. “LP:” appears when you try to
play or edit these tracks on a recorder or player
that does not support MDLP mode (but not on a
recorder or player that supports MDLP mode).
If you change the recorder setting so that “LP:”
is not added, you'll be able to enter longer track
names by using the entire text string.
1 While the recorder is stopped, press the
jog dial.
2 Turn the jog dial until “OPTION”
flashes in the display, and then press to
enter.
3 Turn the jog dial until “LP Stamp”
flashes in the display, and then press to
enter.
4 Turn the jog dial until “Stamp OFF”
flashes in the display, and then press to
enter.
If you want “LP:” added, select “Stamp ON” in
this step, and then press the jog dial.
Notes
It is recommended that you use the AC power
adaptor for MDLP recordings.
During monaural recording of a stereo sound
source connected through the digital (optical)
input jack, you can still monitor the recorded
sound in stereo by using headphones/
earphones connected the i/LINE OUT jack.
When you record in LP4 stereo mode,
momentary noise may be produced on very
rare occasions with certain sound sources.
This is because of the special digital audio
compression technology that enables a
recording time 4 times longer than normal. If
noise is produced, it is recommended that you
record in normal stereo or LP2 stereo mode to
obtain better sound quality.
Recording tracks using
the group function
(Group Mode Recording)
See the illustrations in English text (pages 26
and 27).
What is the group function
(group mode)?
It is a function that allows you to separate
tracks on a disc into different groups for
playback, recording and editing.
It is convenient for managing multiple CD
albums recorded in MDLP (LP2 stereo/LP4
stereo) mode onto a single MD. You can create
a maximum of 99 groups on a disc.
How is group information
recorded?
When recording in group mode, the group
information is written to the disc name
recording area automatically.
Therefore, the character string written in the
disc name recording area is displayed in its
entirety as the disc name if you load an MD
recorded in group mode into a system that does
not support group mode, or if you try to edit the
contents of a disc on this recorder with the
group mode turned off.
