Precautions for performing long-hour stereo
recording
After having made long-hour stereo recordings on this
unit, pay attention to the following:
• Songs (tracks) recorded in 2 times or 4 times long-
hour recording mode can only be played back on the
equipment provided with MDLP, compatible with a
long-hour stereo recording function; otherwise, “
LP:
”
is displayed before a title and playback proceeds
without sounds.
• When editing songs (tracks) on an MD, you cannot
join (JOIN) songs (tracks) recorded in different
recording length modes (SP/LP2/LP4).
More about MDLP
• You cannot make a long-hour monaural recording using this
unit.
• Sound quality will decrease as the recording length mode
changes to LP2 (little) and LP4 (much). To obtain the best
sound quality, it is recommended to use the SP mode when
recording.
REMEMBER if you are trying to record a program
including the same song (track) twice using high-speed
recording, recording will stop at the beginning of the 2nd
recording of the same song (track). (“HCMS CANNOT
COPY” will appear in the main display.)
During high-speed recording
You cannot listen to any source, and therefore, cannot adjust the
volume level. (“CANNOT LISTEN” will appear if you try to
do.)

Stereo Long-Hour Recording (MDLP)
On conventional MD recorders, 2 times long-hour
recording on MDs has been possible only in monaural
sound, but this unit allows for 2 times or 4 times long-
hour recording without losing stereo sound.
With this feature, songs (tracks) can be recorded on a
single MD using different recording length modes—SP:
Standard Play, LP2: 2 Times Long Play, LP4: 4 Times
Long Play.
SP:
Signifies standard-hour stereo recording. The
amount of time usable for recording is the same
as shown on the package of the MD.
LP2:
Signifies 2 times long-hour stereo recording. The
amount of time usable for recording is twice as
long as shown on the package of the MD.
LP4:
Signifies 4 times long-hour stereo recording. The
amount of time usable for recording is 4 times as
long as shown on the package of the MD.
REMEMBER to check the remaining recording time
of MDs before starting recording
The remaining recording time of MDs will be calculated
and shown, based on the recording length mode (SP/LP2/
LP4) currently selected.
Before starting recording or using the Recording Timer,
check the recording time remaining on the MD for each
recording length mode (SP/LP2/LP4) and select the
optimum recording length mode.
About High-Speed Recording
The time for high-speed recording is half or quarter as
long as the time for normal speed recording.
There are some restrictions to observe for high-speed
recording (
x
2 speed recording: two times as quick as
normal speed recording,
x
4 speed recording: four times
as quick as normal speed recording) to protect
copyrights. (HCMS: see page 66.)
This unit is so designed that a song (track) recorded from
a CD using high-speed recording cannot be re-recorded
until 74 minutes elapse after the previous recording
started.
If you try to re-record the same song (track) within the 74
minutes, recording is canceled and “HCMS CANNOT
COPY” appears in the main display as a warning.
