Inregardtolong-playMDstereorecordingandplayback
HD-5MD/EN
This unit is compatible with long-play MD stereo recording and playback (compatible with MDLP).
The recording modes are stereo recording, monaural long-play recording, stereo 2x long-play record-
ing,andstereo4xlong-playrecording,anduseispossibleforallmusicsourceswhichcanberecordedby
this MD.
Mixed recording of tracks with different recording modes into the same MD also is possible.
Set the recording mode in advance, and then perform the recording operation.
In regard to long-play stereo recording (LP2, LP4)
Stereo long-play recording permits long-play recording by further increasing the digital compression
ratio for the audio signal in comparison with stereo recording and monaural recording. The LP4 mode
has a higher compression ratio than the LP2 mode and can record for a longer time.
÷Tracks recorded on an MD with stereo 2x long-play recording (LP2) or stereo 4x long-play recording (LP4) with
this unit can be played back on other equipment compatible with MDLP.
÷With stereo recording on MD, the quality changes with increasing recording time. Use stereo recording (STE-
REO) for recording with the best quality.
Stamp function (STAMP)
This is a function which automatically adds "LP:" in front of the titles of tracks recorded with stereo 2x
long-play recording (LP2) or stereo 4x long-play recording (LP4) with this unit. When the stamp func-
tion is used, "LP:" will be displayed in front of the track title.
Basic
"LP:" will not be displayed during playback with this unit. It is displayed only at the time of title editing.
"LP:" is displayed as the title only in case of playback on equipment not compatible with MDLP, when tracks
recorded by stereo long-play recording are being played.
With this unit, the stamp function (STAMP) can be switched ON ("LP:" is added) or OFF ("LP:" is not added).
Types of record mode
Stereo recording (STEREO):
The possible recording time is the time shown on the MD cartridge.
Stereo 2x long-play recording (LP2):
The recording is in stereo, but the recording time is approximately double the time shown on the MD cartridge.
Stereo 4x long-play recording (LP4):
The recording is in stereo, but the recording time is approximately four times the time shown on the MD cartridge.
Monaural long-play recording (MONO):
The recording is monaural, but the recording time is approximately double the time shown on the MD cartridge.
In case of playback of an MD recorded in stereo long-play mode on equipment not compatible with ste-
reo long-play mode
When it is tried to play tracks recorded in stereo long-play mode on equipment not compatible with stereo long-
play mode, playback status will be reached, but no sound will be put out. When an MD with mixed stereo or mono
recordings and stereo long-play recordings is played on such equipment, sound will be put out only for the stereo
or mono recordings.
When such an MD is played and the volume is turned up excessively during a portion where no sound is put out,
sound with a large volume will be put out suddenly when a track recorded with stereo or mono is reached. Take
care not to turn up the volume excessively.
The MD editing functions have limitations in regard to tracks recorded in different recording modes.

Combining tracks (COMBINE)
Two tracks can be combined to one track. It is possible to combine several tracks or a track with fine sub-
divisions. After tracks have been combined, all track numbers will be renumbered consecutively.
As long as the tracks are next to each other, they can be combined even when they belong to different
groups. The combined track is registered to the group of the first part.

Disc handling precautions
Handling
Never play a cracked or warped disc
During playback, the disc rotates at high speed in the
player. Therefore, to avoid danger, never use a
cracked or deformed disc or a disc repaired with tape
or adhesive agent. Please do not use discs which are
not round because they may cause malfunction.
Hold the disc so that you do not touch
the playing surface.

rying the
marking on the label surface.
Sticky paste
Disc accessories
Cleaning
If there are fingerprint marks or foreign
matter found on the disc, lightly wipe
the disc with a soft cotton cloth (or simi-
lar) from the center of the disc outwards
in a radial manner.
The disc accessories (stabilizer, protection sheet, pro-
tection ring, etc.) which are marketed for improving
the sound quality or protecting discs as well as the
disc cleaner should not be used with this system be-
cause they may cause malfunction.
Storage
When a disc is not to be played for a long period of
time, remove it from the player and store it in its case.
Handling of MD
As the MD is accommodated inside a cartridge, it can be handled without caring about dust or fingerprint.
However, stained or soiled cartridge may cause malfunction. To enjoy beautiful sound for extended period
of time, take care on the following points.
Do not touch the disc directly.
Caution on MD-Clip data
Do not touch the disc by opening the
shutter with your hand. The cartridge
will be damaged if it is forced open.
Do not attempt to record or edit a disc in which MD-
Clip data (still images, etc.) have been recorded.
Otherwise, the Clip data may be lost.
Note on the cartridge labels
Apply each label firmly to every corner so that it will
not peel off.
Storage position
Do not leave MDs in places where
the temperature and/or humidity are extremely high
(for example, in places subjected to direct sunlight).
Write protect tab
To protect recorded contents against accidental eras-
ure, set the write protect tab of the disc open. Re-
turn the tab to the original position when you want
to record signals on the disc.
Dust countermeasure
The shutter of the disc cartridge is permanently
open while the disc is loaded in the set. Therefore,
to prevent dust from penetrating inside the disc,
take the disc out of the unit immediately after com-
pletion of recording or playback.
Back side of the disc

In regard to the sampling frequency
Normally, there are the three following types of digital signals, and they are called sampling frequen-
cies. The sampling frequencies are divided as follows according to the type of the digital equipment.
48 kHz
: Standard mode for DAT, B-mode transmission of BS tuners, etc.
44.1 kHz : Standard mode for DAT, CD, MD, etc.
32 kHz
: Standard and long-time mode for DAT, A-mode transmission of BS tuners, etc.
(DAT: Digital Audio Tapedeck)
As this unit has a built-in sampling rate converter, 48 kHz and 32 kHz digital signals can be recorded
converted to 44.1 kHz.
