Stereo LP modes

The MD recorder of the system is compatible with stereo long play of MD (MDLP compatible equipment). The available recording modes include the stereo, monaural LP, stereo LP2 and stereo LP4 modes, and they can be used with any of the music sources which can be recorded with the MD recorder of the system. It is also possible to accommodate tracks recorded in different recording modes in a single MD. Be sure to select the recording mode before starting MD recording.

Types of recording modes

Stereo (STEREO) :

The available recording time is equal to the figure indicated on each MD cartridge.

Stereo LP2 (LP2) :

The recording time, available in stereo, becomes twice the figure indicated on each MD cartridge.

Stamping (STAMP)

This system has the stamping function, which attaches stamp "LP:" at the beginning of each track title to facilitate identification of tracks recorded in the LP2 or LP4 mode. "LP:" is displayed as a part of title only when a track recorded in stereo LP mode is played on a MDLP-incompatible MD recorder/ player.

÷ A track recorded in the LP2 or LP4 mode

using the MD recorder of this system can be played back on any MDLP-compatible MD recorder/player. However, if such a track is played on an MDLP-incompatible MD recorder/player, the track is played back without audio. If it is recorded using the stamping function, "LP:" is displayed at the beginning of the displayed track title.

÷ In stereo recording of MD, the recorded au-

dio quality is degraded as the recording time per disc is increased. If you want to record audio by putting priority on the quality, it is recommended to use the STEREO mode.

Stereo LP4 (LP4) :

The recording time, available in stereo, becomes four times the figure indicated on each MD cartridge.

Monaural LP (MONO) :

The recording time, available only in monaural, becomes about twice the figure indicated on each MD cartridge.

Setting the recording mode

The MD recording mode can be set only in stop mode.
