“TOC” lights up, or either “TOC” or

updated and recording is completed.
Before pulling out the power cord
MD recording is completed when the MD Table
of Contents (TOC) is updated. The TOC is

Converting digital sampling rates
automatically
A built-in sampling rate converter automatically
converts the sampling frequency of various
digital sources to the 44.1 kHz sampling rate of
the MD deck. This allows you to monitor and
record sources such as 32- or 48-kHz DAT tape
or satellite broadcasts, as well as the CDs and
MDs.
To prevent accidental erasure of the
recorded material
To protect an MD recording, slide the record-
protect tab in the direction of the arrow (see
illustration below) to open the slot. To enable
re-recording, close the slot.
Recording for long times
In addition to normal stereo recording, this deck
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.
LP4 Stereo mode (4
×
long time recording
mode) achieves a long stereo recording time by
use of a special compression system. When
placing emphasis on sound quality, Stereo
recording or LP2 Stereo recording (2
×
long time
recording mode) is recommended.
Note
MDs recorded in MD LP (LP2 or LP4 Stereo) mode
cannot be played back on a deck that does not support
MD LP mode. In addition, you cannot perform S.F
Edit for MDs recorded in MD LP mode.
