Recording For Long Times - Sony CMT-PX5 Operating Instructions Manual

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.
Note
Tracks recorded in MDLP (LP2 or LP4) Stereo mode
cannot be played back on a system that does not
support MDLP mode. In addition, you cannot use S.F
Edit and some other MD edit functions for tracks
recorded in MDLP mode.
