You can select the appropriate mode—Standard mode
(SP) or Long-play mode (LP)—with the mode selector on
the unit.
When is the long-recording/playback
unavailable?
The digital input signal on 44.1 kHz or 48 KHz cannot be
recorded/played back in the long play mode, even if the
mode selector is set to LP. Press the ® PLAY button
longer than usual during recording to display and check
the sampling frequency of the source program in the
display window.
The time counter in the long-play mode
Absolute time and total remaining tape appears, based
on those in the standard mode. To obtain the actual
long play time, double each value.
For the customers who have other DAT decks which
do not have the iong-play mode
If you playback the tape—which you changed the mode
from the standard to the long-play during recording—on
other DAT decks which do not have the long-play mode,
loud noise may occur at the boundary between the
standard mode recorded section and the tong-play mode
one. Turn down the volume in this case. Same thing
occurs when you playback the tape which you made the
standard mode recording on which the long-play mode
one had been made.
When a recording is made, any previously recorded
signal will be erased automatically. To prevent accidental
erasure, Set the safety tab to the position shown in the
