Recording tips

Recording for long times

This system has two long time recording modes: LP2 and LP4 (MDLP recording).

Press REC MODE on the MD deck to select the recording mode. Refer to the pages about recording (pages 43, 45 and 46).

MDs recorded in MDLP Stereo mode are played back only on the system with the following marks.

MDs recorded in MDLP Stereo mode cannot be played back on the system that does not support MDLP mode.

Notes

•Even if the recording mode is set to “MONO”, the sound from the speakers are output as recorded in the source (in stereo when recording the stereo source).

•Some MDs recorded in MDLP Stereo mode are edited so that “LP:” is displayed to indicate that playback is not possible when an attempt is made to play back these MDs on a system that does not support MDLP mode. However, this system supports MDLP mode, so “LP:” is not displayed when these MDs are played back.

•When playing back these MDs on a system that does not support MDLP mode, set the transfer mode during SonicStage check-out to “Stereo Transfer”. If transfer is performed in LP2 or LP4 mode, you will be unable to play back these MDs on a system that does not support MDLP mode.

Tips

•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.

•You can mix the recording mode in an MD.

•The selected recording mode is kept even after recording has finished. To change the recording mode, press REC MODE on the MD deck repeatedly.
