An additional MD player, cassette deck or analog turntable with built-in equalizer (such as the  
P-110) which are available separately can optionally be connected to the system using an  
audio cable with stereo mini-plugs (separately available).

interfere with the system when the listening volume is increased. In this case, install the analog  
turntable farther apart from the system.  
÷
The input level from the AUX component can be adjusted on this system. (page 22)  
Headphones

equipped with stereo mini-plugs.  
÷
When listening audio through  
speakers, unplug the head-  
phones from the PHONES  
jack.

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.
