Stereo LP modes (LP2, LP4) : The stereo LP modes enables long hours of recording by adopting higher digital audio compression rates than the stereo and monaural recording modes. The LP4 mode features even longer recording time by adopting even higher compression rate than the LP2 mode.

If an MD recorded in the LP2 or LP4 mode is played back on a recorder/player incompatible with LP2/LP4 : When a track recorded in stereo LP2 or LP4 mode is played back on an MDLP-incompatible recorder/ player, the disc can be played but no audio will be reproduced. When an MD containing tracks recorded in stereo LP2 and LP4 modes and those recorded in the STEREO and MONO modes is played back, audio will be reproduced only with the tracks recorded in STEREO and MONO modes. When playing such an MD, be careful not to increase the volume setting during playback with no audio reproduction. Otherwise, a very high volume will be reproduced when playback of a track recorded in the STEREO or MONO mode starts.

Stamping (STAMP) : This unit has the stamping function, which attaches stamp characters "LP:" at the beginning of each track title to facilitate identification of tracks recorded in the LP2 or LP4 mode. "LP:" can be displayed as a part of each track title only when the stamping function is set to on.

Note that "LP:" is displayed as a part of track title only when a track is recorded in stereo LP2 or LP4 mode is played on an MDLP-incompatible recorder/player.

This unit allows you to select the STAMP function on ("LP:" attached to the title) or off ("LP:" not attached to the title).audio reproduction. Otherwise, a very high volume will be reproduced when playback of a track recorded in the STEREO or MONO mode starts.
