Recording for long times
This deck has two long time recording modes:
LP2 and LP4 (MDLP recording).
Press REC MODE to select the recording mode.
Refer to each pages about recording (pages 20
and 21).
MDs recorded in MDLP Stereo mode are played
back only on the deck with the following marks.
MDs recorded in MDLP Stereo mode cannot be
played back on the deck that does not support
MDLP mode.
Notes
• Even if the recording mode is set to “MONO”, the
sound from the speakers are output as recorded in the
source (in stereo when recording the stereo source).
• Some MDs recorded in MDLP Stereo mode are
edited so that “LP:” is displayed to indicate that
playback is not possible when an attempt is made to
play back these MDs on a deck that does not support
MDLP mode. However, this deck supports MDLP
mode, so “LP:” is not displayed when these MDs are
played back.
Tips
• LP4 stereo mode (4× long time recording mode)
achieves a long stereo recording time by use of a
special compression deck. When placing emphasis
on sound quality, Stereo recording or LP2 stereo
recording (2× long time recording mode) is
recommended.
• You can mix the recording mode in an MD.
• The selected recording mode is kept even after
recording has finished. To change the recording
mode, press REC MODE repeatedly.
High-Speed CD-MD Synchro
Recording
When recording an entire CD as is or in the
programmed track order, you can record at
higher speed than normal (approximately 4
×
normal speed).
If you cannot use High-Speed CD-
MD Synchro Recording
A reading failure has occurred, and the deck is
trying to read the data again.
• If the retry was successful, the deck continues
with High-Speed CD-MD Synchro
Recording.
• If the condition of the inserted CD or the deck
is poor, and retry fails, High-Speed CD-MD
Synchro Recording is disabled. In this case,
“Retry” and “NORMAL” flash in the display
and the MD deck automatically starts
recording in normal CD-MD Synchro
Recording. Note the monitoring of the
recorded signal is not possible when this
occurs.
Notes
• You cannot record over existing tracks. The new
tracks are recorded after the existing tracks.
• When recording all the tracks on a CD, be sure to use
a recording MD with a longer remaining time than
the CD play time.
• You cannot pause recording during CD-MD Synchro
Recording and High-Speed CD-MD Synchro
Recording.
• If the CD play mode is set to Repeat Play or Shuffle
Play, it automatically switches to Normal Play.
• The following items are either inoperative or cannot
be used during High-Speed CD-MD Synchro
Recording:
– The Auto Cut Function
– The recording level specified in the Setup menu
• There is no sound output during High-Speed CD-MD
Synchro Recording.
