"Synchro REC" and the amount of time available for recording flash alternately in the display. During synchronized recording, analog input sources are recorded at the current ANALOG REC LEVEL setting, digital sources are recorded at the 0 dB level. The MD starts recording automatically when a sound signal is input. When the sound signal stops, the unit switches back to record pause mode and "Synchro REC" blinks in the display. The next time a sound signal is detected, recording starts again. In this manner, the presence of a sound signal automatically switches the unit between record and record pause modes. 4 Start playing the sound source.

Example: When using an 80 minute MD MONO (monaural) This mode provides 160 minutes monaural recording. LP2 This mode provides 160 minutes stereo recording. LP4 This mode provides 320 minutes stereo recording. When all of the above indicators are turned off, this unit enters normal stereo recording mode. Notes • MDLPs (= discs recorded in LP mode) cannot be played back nor edited on non MDLP players. If you play MDLPs (=discs recorded in LP mode) on a non-MDLP player, "LP:" will appear at the top of the title and no sound will be reproduced. • Normal stereo recording provides the best sound quality. • The recording mode cannot be changed during recording. 15
