After recording

?/1 to turn off the deck.
"TOC" or "TOC Writing" starts flashing. The

Before disconnecting the mains lead
MD recording is completed when the MD Table

Automatic conversion of digital
sampling rates
A built-in sampling rate converter automatically
converts the sampling frequency of various
digital sources to the 44.1 kHz sampling rate of
the MD deck. This allows you to monitor and
record sources such as 32- or 48-kHz DAT tape
or satellite broadcasts, as well as the CDs and
MDs.

recorded material

Recording for long times
This deck has two long time recording modes:
LP2 and LP4 (MDLP recording). When
recording in LP2 Stereo mode, you can record 2
times the normal recordable time, and in LP4
Stereo mode, you can record 4 times the normal
recordable time. In addition, the recordable
time for monaural recording is approximately
double the stereo recording time.
LP4 Stereo mode (4× long time recording
mode) achieves a long stereo recording time by
use of a special compression system. When
placing emphasis on sound quality, Stereo
recording or LP2 Stereo recording (2× long
time recording mode) is recommended.
