Recording for long times
This deck has two long time recording modes:
LP2 and LP4 (MDLP recording). When
recording in LP2 Stereo mode, you can record 2
times the normal recordable time, and in LP4
Stereo 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
× long time recording
mode) achieves a long stereo recording time by
using a special compression system. When
placing emphasis on sound quality, Stereo
recording or LP2 Stereo recording (2
× long
time recording mode) is recommended.

Tips
• The MDLP indicator lights up when you select LP2
or LP4 in step 2 above.
• The deck is factory set to add “LP:” at the beginning
of a track name automatically. This indication is
displayed when the track is played on a deck that
does not support long-time recording.
To turn off this function, do the following procedure.
1 While the deck is stopped, playing, or
paused, press MENU/NO.
2 Turn AMS (or press ./> repeatedly)
until “Setup?” appears, then press PUSH
ENTER or YES.
3 Turn AMS (or press ./> repeatedly)
until “LPstamp On” (factory setting)
appears, then press PUSH ENTER or
YES.
4 Turn AMS (or press ./> repeatedly)
to select “LPstamp Off”, and then press
PUSH ENTER or YES.
5 Press MENU/NO.
To add “LP:” automatically again, select “LPstamp
On” in step 4 above.
Notes
• The recorded “LP:” is a stamp which appears to
indicate that the track cannot be played back when
you try to play the track on a system that does not
support MDLP mode. It does not appear for systems
that support MDLP mode.
• When set to “On”, “LP:” is recorded as the track
name, so the number of characters that can be input
to an MD is reduced. If you divide an “LP:” track
using the Divide function, “LP:” is also added to the
latter track.
• The selected recording mode is kept even after
recording is completed, so be sure to check the
recording mode before recording.
• Tracks recorded in MDLP (LP2 or LP4) Stereo
mode cannot be played back on a system that does
not support MDLP mode.
• Even if you press REC MODE during recording,
you cannot change the recording mode.
• Even if you press REC MODE repeatedly to select
MONO, the monitor signal during recording does
not become monaural.
• You cannot use S.F Edit and some MD edit
functions for tracks recorded in MDLP mode.
