When you do not want “LP:” added automatically at the beginning of a track

When recording in MDLP mode, this recorder adds “LP:” at the front of every track name automatically. “LP:” appears when you try to play or edit these tracks on a recorder or player that does not support MDLP mode (but not on a recorder or player that supports MDLP mode).

If you change the recorder setting so that “LP:” is not added, you’ll be able to enter longer track names by using the entire text string.

•Audio components that support the LP2 stereo or LP4 stereo modes are indicated by the or logo marks.

•You can achieve high sound quality and rich tones when recording in SP stereo (or monaural) thanks to the newly developed DSP TYPE-R for ATRAC (Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding) (page 15).

Notes

•It is recommended that you use the AC power adaptor for long recordings.

•During monaural recording of a stereo sound source connected through the digital (optical) input jack, you can still monitor the recorded sound in stereo by using headphones or earphones connected to the i jack.

•When you record in LP4 mode, momentary noise may be produced on very rare occasions with certain sound sources. This is because of the special digital audio compression technology that enables a recording time of 4 times longer than normal. If noise is produced, it is recommended that you record in normal stereo or LP2 mode to obtain better sound quality.
