Stereo LP modes
The MD recorder of the system is compat-
ible 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 re-
corded in different recording modes in a sin-
gle MD.
Be sure to select the recording mode be-
fore 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, be-
comes twice the figure indicated on each
MD cartridge.
Stereo LP4 (LP4) :
The recording time, available in stereo, be-
comes four times the figure indicated on
each MD cartridge.
Monaural LP (MONO) :
The recording time, available only in mon-
aural, becomes about twice the figure indi-
cated 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 re-
corder/player, the track is played back with-
out audio. If it is recorded using the stamp-
ing function, "LP:" is displayed at the begin-
ning 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.
