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.
LP4 Stereo mode (4

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.
Note
MDs recorded in MDLP (LP2 or LP4) mode cannot
be played back on a system that does not support
MDLP mode. In addition, you cannot perform S.F
Edit, etc., for MDs recorded in MDLP mode.
