Stereo long-time recording (MDLP)
This unit supports MDLP, and allows you to record twice or four
times longer than the normal length on an MD in stereo.
Available recording modes
- SP (Stereo) mode: standard length stereo recording (the
usable length is the same as the time printed on the MD)
En
- LP2 mode: two times longer stereo recording (the usable
length is twice the time printed on the MD)
- LP4 mode: four times longer stereo recording (the usable
length is four times the time printed on the MD)
- MONO (Monaural) mode: recording is made in
monaural, but twice as long as the time printed on the MD
can be obtained.
Tip:
An MD can contain tracks recorded in different recording
modes.
Notes
•It is not possible to combine two tracks recorded in different
recording modes.
•Tracks recorded in LP2 or LP4 mode cannot be played on
equipment which does not support MDLP. If a track recorded
in LP2 or LP4 is played on such equipment, "LP:" is
displayed as the track title and no sound is heard.
•Sound quality of material recorded in LP4 mode is slightly
poorer than that of material recorded in standard stereo or
LP2 mode.
To prevent "LP:" from being automatically recorded
Press MD E to select the MD function. Then hold down
s and press SP/LP.
"MDLP:OFF" is displayed.
To record "LP:" automatically, repeat the above so that
"MDLP:ON" is displayed.

Double-speed recording
When performing digital recording from a CD onto an MD,
double-speed recording is available as well as normal-speed
recording.
Grouping tracks
This unit allows you to gather tracks on an MD in groups.
You can create a maximum of 99 groups on an MD.

Thus, for example, if you record several CDs onto an MD
using LP2 or LP4 mode, you may create groups, each one of
them corresponds to each CD.
When recording
Recording with the auto grouping mode set to ON
When recording from CD to MD, a group corresponding to
the recorded CD is automatically created. When recording from
other sources, contents from the beginning to the end of a
recording session make a group.
