Recording for long times

In addition to normal stereo recording, this recorder has
two long time recording modes: LP2 and LP4. 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
MDs recorded in MD LP (LP2 or LP4 Stereo) mode cannot
be played back on a recorder that does not support MD LP
mode. In addition, you cannot perform S.F Edit for MDs
recorded in MD LP mode.
