During High-Speed CD-MD
Synchro Recording
The recording speed changes according to the
recording mode.

Stereo Quadruple speed
LP2 Stereo Double speed
LP4 Stereo Double speed

Notes
• MDs recorded in MDLP (LP2 or LP4) mode should
be played back on a system that supports MDLP
mode. These MDs cannot be played back on other
systems.
• 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. The factory
setting is "On".
1 Press FUNCTION repeatedly to switch the
function to MD.
2 Press MENU/NO on the remote repeatedly until
"Setup Menu" appears.
3 Press – or + on the remote until "LP Stamp
Off" (or "LP Stamp On") appears, then press
ENTER/YES.
4 Press – or + on the remote until "LP Stamp On"
appears, then press ENTER/YES.
5 Press MENU/NO.
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 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.
