Recording Options
Although the MJ–L77 can make recording largely automatic, you can also manually
control a number of settings if you prefer. For any kind of recording, including the
synchro-recording modes covered on pages 14 and 15, you can:
❖ switch on or off the auto numbering feature
❖ switch the recording mode to stereo or long-play mono
When recording from an external component, or the internal CD player, you can also
specify whether the MJ–L77 should record from the analogue or digital input.
If you're recording from CD or MD via the digital input, track numbers are always
automatically copied along with the audio. When recording other digital or analogue
sources, Auto Mark (track numbering) works by detecting spaces (silence) in the source
material. Although this usually works fine and is often convenient, there may be times
when you'd rather have complete control over where the track numbers go as you record.
Once recording is underway (with Auto Mark on or off), you can start a new track
number anytime by pressing the
MD REC button.
Tip
Even if the track
numbers that end
up on a recording
are not quite what
you had in mind,
you can change
them later using
the divide and
combine editing

Recording Extra-Long Material
There may be times when you'd like to be able to record continuously for longer than
the usual 74 or 80 minutes that MD provides for. The MJ–L77 has a long-play mode
that doubles the available recording time on a disc at the cost of stereo recording.
However, if you're recording a speech or an interview, for example, this is unlikely to
be a great loss. You can freely mix long-play mono recordings and normal stereo
recordings on the same disc—the recorder automatically detects the mode on playback.
