• 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.
• If you switch REC MODE during recording or recording
pause, recording stops.
• Even if you set REC MODE to MONO, the monitor signal
during recording does not become monaural.
