If “LPstamp:On” is set, “LP:” is recorded as part of the track name, so the number of characters that can be input in a single MD is reduced. Furthermore, “LP:” is automatically copied if the track name is copied or if the track is divided by using the Divide function.

MDs recorded in MD LP (LP2 or LP4 Stereo) mode should be played back on a deck that supports MD LP mode. These MDs cannot be played back on other decks.

If you switch REC MODE during recording or recording pause, recording stops.

Even if you set REC MODE to MONO, the monitor signal during recording does not become monaural.
