In regard to long-play MD stereo recording and playback

HD-5MD/EN

This unit is compatible with long-play MD stereo recording and playback (compatible with MDLP). The recording modes are stereo recording, monaural long-play recording, stereo 2x long-play record-

ing, and stereo 4x long-play recording, and use is possible for all music sources which can be recorded by this MD.

Mixed recording of tracks with different recording modes into the same MD also is possible. Set the recording mode in advance, and then perform the recording operation.

In regard to long-play stereo recording (LP2, LP4)

Stereo long-play recording permits long-play recording by further increasing the digital compression ratio for the audio signal in comparison with stereo recording and monaural recording. The LP4 mode has a higher compression ratio than the LP2 mode and can record for a longer time.

÷ Tracks recorded on an MD with stereo 2x long-play recording (LP2) or stereo 4x long-play recording (LP4) with

this unit can be played back on other equipment compatible with MDLP.

÷ With stereo recording on MD, the quality changes with increasing recording time. Use stereo recording (STE-

REO) for recording with the best quality.

Stamp function (STAMP)

This is a function which automatically adds "LP:" in front of the titles of tracks recorded with stereo 2x long-play recording (LP2) or stereo 4x long-play recording (LP4) with this unit. When the stamp function is used, "LP:" will be displayed in front of the track title.

"LP:" will not be displayed during playback with this unit. It is displayed only at the time of title editing. "LP:" is displayed as the title only in case of playback on equipment not compatible with MDLP, when tracks recorded by stereo long-play recording are being played. With this unit, the stamp function (STAMP) can be switched ON ("LP:" is added) or OFF ("LP:" is not added).

Types of record mode

Stereo recording (STEREO):

The possible recording time is the time shown on the MD cartridge.

Stereo 2x long-play recording (LP2):

The recording is in stereo, but the recording time is approximately double the time shown on the MD cartridge.

Stereo 4x long-play recording (LP4):

The recording is in stereo, but the recording time is approximately four times the time shown on the MD cartridge.

Monaural long-play recording (MONO):

The recording is monaural, but the recording time is approximately double the time shown on the MD cartridge.

Basic

In case of playback of an MD recorded in stereo long-play mode on equipment not compatible with stereo long-play mode

When it is tried to play tracks recorded in stereo long-play mode on equipment not compatible with stereo longplay mode, playback status will be reached, but no sound will be put out. When an MD with mixed stereo or mono recordings and stereo long-play recordings is played on such equipment, sound will be put out only for the stereo or mono recordings. When such an MD is played and the volume is turned up excessively during a portion where no sound is put out, sound with a large volume will be put out suddenly when a track recorded with stereo or mono is reached. Take care not to turn up the volume excessively.

The MD editing functions have limitations in regard to tracks recorded in different recording modes. "Combining tracks" (COMBINE)"

Recording to MD

All recording functions can be used for long-play recording with ATRAC3 (MDLP) to MD. The recording method using the MD rec key explained here is convenient mainly for recording from

the tuner or from an external source. "Convenient recording methods" is recommended for recording from CD. q

MD section (MD standard symptoms etc.)

"DISC FULL" is displayed although the max. recordable time has not been reached.

The recordable time does not increase when short titles are deleted.

Titles cannot be combined.

The sum of the recorded time and the recordable time does not coincide with the total recording time for the MD.

"READING" is displayed for an abnormally long time.

When titles created by editing are played back fast in forward or reverse direction, the sound becomes interrupted.

The track (title) numbers are not assigned correctly.

Input of 1792 title characters is not possible.

HD-5MD/EN

CauseSymptom

÷ More than 255 titles (track No. 256 and up) can not be recorded even when the max.

recordable time has not been reached. (Recording may be impossible even before track No. 256 has been reached.)

÷ When emphasis ON/OFF etc. is repeated often within a title, this is handled in the

same way as a break between titles, and "DISC FULL" will be displayed independent of the time and the number of titles. In this case, the main timer indication on the display becomes "0:00".

÷ When the remaining time for the entire minidisc becomes less than 24 sec (MONO,

LP2) or 48 sec (LP4), the main timer indication on the display becomes "0:00". When the total time of the deleted titles becomes more than 24 sec (MONO, LP2) or 48 sec (LP4), the indication of the recordable time changes.

÷ In case of a frequently edited minidisc, the remaining time may not increase even

when a short title is erased.

÷ Sometimes it may not be possible to combine titles created by editing. ÷ Titles with different recording modes cannot be combined.

÷ As recording is done with 4 sec (MONO, LP2) or 8 sec (LP4) as the min unit, the

indicated time may not coincide.

÷ When a new minidisc for recording (completely unrecorded) is inserted, "READING"

will be displayed longer than normal.

÷ When a minidisc is inserted which has been edited frequently or which has very

many tracks, "READING" will be displayed longer than normal.

÷ Interrupted sound can be caused by a combination of various conditions, but this is

no defect.

÷ Depending on the recorded source, the track numbers may not be assigned

correctly.

÷ As the title input area is used in units of 7 characters, it may not be possible to enter

1792 characters.
