Stamping (STAMP)
Stereo LP modes
This system has a stamping function, which
attaches stamp “LP:” at the beginning of
each track title to facilitate identification of
tracks recorded in the LP2 or LP4 mode.
“LP:” is displayed as part of a title only
when a track recorded in stereo LP mode is
played on a MDLP-incompatible MD re-
corder/player.
The MD recorder of the system is compat-
ible with stereo long play of MD (MDLP
compatible equipment).
Application
section
The available recording modes include
stereo, stereo LP2 and stereo LP4 modes,
and they can be used with any of the music
sources which can be recorded with the MD
recorder of the system. It is also possible
to accommodate tracks recorded in differ-
ent recording modes in a single MD.
Be sure to select the recording mode be-
fore starting MD recording.
Recording
÷
A track recorded in the LP2 or LP4 mode
using the MD recorder of this system can
be played back on any MDLP-compatible MD
recorder/player. However, if such a track is
played on an MDLP-incompatible MD re-
corder/player, the track is played back with-
out audio. If it is recorded using the stamp-
ing function, “LP:” is displayed at the begin-
ning of the displayed track title.
Types of recording modes
Stereo (SP) :
The available recording time is equal to the
figure indicated on each MD cartridge.
÷
In stereo recording of MD, the recorded au-
dio quality is degraded as the recording time
per disc is increased. If you want to record
audio with priority given to audio quality, it is
recommended to use the SP mode.
Stereo LP 2 (LP2) :
The recording time, available in stereo, be-
comes twice the figure indicated on each
MD cartridge.
Stereo LP4 (LP4) :
The recording time, available in stereo, be-
comes four times the figure indicated on
each MD cartridge.

the recording speed is normal (CD=MD
NORM). Note that this function is not avail-
able when the recording speed is high
(CD=MD HIGH).
With regards to track numbers at

Important items(continued)
Dust countermeasure
The shutter of the disc cartridge is perma-
nently open while the disc is loaded in the
set. Therefore, to prevent dust from pen-
etrating inside the disc, take the disc out of
the unit immediately after completion of
recording or playback.
Never play a cracked or warped disc
During playback, the disc rotates at high
speed in the player.Therefore, to avoid dan-
ger, 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 malfunc-
tion.
Care
Periodically wipe off dust and dirt on the
cartridge with a dry cloth.
Disc accessories
Note on disc accessories
Do not use lens cleaner for this may lead to
malfunction of the unit.
The disc accessories (stabilizer, protection
sheet, protection ring, etc.) which are mar-
keted for improving the sound quality or pro-
tecting discs as well as the disc cleaner
should not be used with this system be-
cause they may cause malfunction.
Write protect tab
To protect recorded contents against acci-
dental erasure, set the write protect tab of
the disc open. Return the tab to the original
position when you want to record signals
on the disc.
Handling of MD
As the MD is accommodated inside a car-
tridge, it can be handled without caring
about dust or fingerprint. However, stained
or soiled cartridge may cause malfunction.
To enjoy beautiful sound for extended pe-
riod of time, take care on the following
points.
Back side of the disc
Write protect tab
Slide open.
(Recording disabled)
Slide close.
(Recording enabled)
Do not touch the disc directly.
Do not touch the disc by
opening the shutter with
your hand.The cartridge will
be damaged if it is forced
open.
Note on the cartridge labels
Apply each label firmly to every corner so
that it will not be peel off.
Caution on MD-Clip data
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.
Storage position
Do not leave MDs in places where the tem-
perature and/or humidity are extremely high
(for example, in places subjected to direct
sunlight).
