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
