4. Select the recording mode following the
steps below:
The MD-350 is capable of recording and
playing back in standard stereo mode
(SP), monaural standard speed (MON),
double long-play (LP2) and quadruple
long-play (LP4) modes.
As the name suggests, LP2 provides
long-play facilities giving twice the
usual recording/playback time, and LP4
provides
four
times
the
recording/playback time.
All modes are stereo, except for MONO,
when recording will be performed using
only the left (L) channel. "L" appears on
the level meter, but the output is sent to
both channels.
To select a mode (SP, MON, LP2 or LP4)
for recording:
a) With the unit in stop mode, press the
[EDIT/NO] button repeatedly until "REC
MODE?" is displayed.
b) Press the [YES] button. ("RecMode>
XXX" is displayed.)
c) Use the [µTRACK≤] dial to select
the recording mode shown on the
display.
d) Press the [YES] button to confirm the
setting.
... Note:that when the time remaining on a
disc for further recording is shown, this
refers to the remaining time using the
current mode.
... It is possible to include tracks recorded
in different modes (SP,MONO, LP2 and
LP4) on one disc.
... Also note that while the LP4 (quadruple
long-play) mode provides exceptional
recording time thanks to advanced
compression
technology,
occasionally you may hear some slight
noise, depending on the material being
recorded. We therefore recommend that
if sound quality is more important for
your recording project than recording
time, you use either the SP (stereo) or
LP2 (double long-play) mode.
... The maximum amount of time available
with monaural recording is twice that of
stereo recording.
