Stereo Long-Hour Recording (MDLP)
On conventional MD recorders, 2 times long-hour
recording on MDs has been possible only in monaural
sound, but this unit allows for 2 times or 4 times long-hour
recording without losing stereo sound.
With this feature, songs (tracks) can be recorded on a
single MD using different recording length modes—SP:
Standard Play, LP2: 2 Times Long Play, LP4: 4 Times
Long Play.
SP: Signifies standard-hour stereo recording. The
amount of time usable for recording is the same as
shown on the package of the MD.
LP2: Signifies 2 times long-hour stereo recording. The
amount of time usable for recording is twice as
long as shown on the package of the MD.
LP4: Signifies 4 times long-hour stereo recording. The
amount of time usable for recording is 4 times as
long as shown on the package of the MD.
REMEMBER to check the remaining recording time of
MDs before start recording
The remaining recording time of MDs will be calculated
and shown, based on the recording length mode (SP/LP2/
LP4) currently selected.
Before start recording or using the Recording Timer,
check the remaining recording time on the MD for each
recording length mode (SP/LP2/LP4) and select the
optimum recording length mode.
About High-Speed Recording
The time for high-speed recording is half or quarter as long
as the time for normal speed recording.
There are some restrictions to observe for high-speed
recording (x2 speed recording: two times as quick as normal
speed recording, x4 speed recording: four times as quick as
normal speed recording, x5 speed recording: five times as
quick as normal speed recording) to protect copyrights.
(HCMS: see page 61.)
This unit is so designed that a song (track) recorded from a
CD using high-speed recording cannot be re-recorded until
74 minutes elapse after the previous recording started.

To check the remaining recording time
Press DISP/CHARA repeatedly until "REC REMAIN" and
the remaining time based on the current recording mode
appear on the display.
Precautions for performing long-hour stereo recording
After having made long-hour stereo recordings on this unit,
pay attention to the following:
• Songs (tracks) recorded in 2 times or 4 times long-hour
recording mode can only be played back on the equipment
provided with MDLP, compatible with a long-hour stereo
recording function; otherwise, "LP:" is displayed before a
title and playback proceeds without sounds.
• When editing songs (tracks) on an MD, you cannot join
(JOIN) songs (tracks) recorded in different recording
length modes (SP/LP2/LP4).
More about MDLP
• You cannot make a long-hour monaural recording using this unit.
• Sound quality will decrease as the recording length mode changes to
LP2 (little) and LP4 (much). To obtain the best sound quality, it is
recommended to use the SP mode when recording.
If you try to re-record the same song (track) within the 74
minutes, recording is canceled and "HCMS CANNOT
COPY" appears on the display as a warning.
REMEMBER if you are trying to record a program
including the same song (track) twice using high-speed
recording, recording will stop at the beginning of the 2nd
recording of the same song (track). ("HCMS CANNOT
COPY" will appear on the display.)
During high-speed recording
You cannot listen to any source, and therefore, cannot adjust the volume
level. ("CANNOT LISTEN" will appear on the display if you try to do.)
