• If “LPstamp:On” is set, “LP:” is recorded as part of the track
name, so the number of characters that can be input in a single
MD is reduced. Furthermore, “LP:” is automatically copied if
the track name is copied or if the track is divided by using the
Divide function.
• MDs recorded in MD LP (LP2 or LP4 Stereo) mode should be
played back on a deck that supports MD LP mode. These MDs
cannot be played back on other decks. When you play an MD
recorded in MD LP mode, “STEREO” (for an MD recorded in
LP2 Stereo mode) or “MONO” (for an MD recorded in LP4
Stereo mode) lights up.
• Even if you press REC MODE during recording or recording
pause, 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.
