The MDLP indicator lights up when you press REC
MODE in Step 2 on page 22.
Notes
• MDs recorded in MDLP (LP2 or LP4 Stereo) mode should
be played back on a deck that supports MDLP mode.
These MDs cannot be played back on other decks.
• 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 MD on a deck
that does not support MDLP mode. This convenient
function lets you know at a glance that the MD cannot
be played back. The factory setting is "On".

Notes
• The recorded "LP:" is a stamp which appears to indicate
that the MD cannot be played back when you try to play
the MD on a deck that does not support MDLP mode. It
does not appear for decks 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.
