AC power adaptor for long recordings.
• If you try to play an MD recorded in LP2 or
LP4 on a player/recorder that is not support
these modes, playback will not start and “ LP:”
will appear on the display.
• Sound recorded through digital (optical) input
can be monitored in stereo through
headphones/earphones, etc.
• When you record in LP4 mode, momentary
noise may be produced on very rare occasions
with certain sound sources. This is because of
the special digital audio compression
technology that enables a recording time 4
times longer than normal. If noise is produced,
it is recommended that you record in normal

quality.
