Sony DHC-NX5MD Recording for long times

Recording for long times

In addition to normal stereo recording, this system has two long time modes: LP2 and LP4. When recording in LP2 mode, you can record 2 times the normal recordable time, and in LP4 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.

Note

MDs recorded in MD LP (LP2 or LP4) mode cannot be played back on a system that does not support MD LP mode. (Systems which support MD LP mode bear the “MD LP” logo.) In addition, you cannot perform S.F Edit or other operations for MDs recorded in MD LP mode.
