Notes:

"In monaural recording, the sound on the right and left channels is mixed even if the input source is in stereo. Although you can hear the stereo sound from the ear- phones, the recorded sound is monaural.

"Tracks recorded in 2 times long recording and 4 times long recording modes cannot be played with the unit that does not support these modes. On such a unit, no sound is heard. (The operation may vary depending on the unit.)

"Tracks recorded in monaural cannot be played on a unit that does not support monaural playback.

!About ATRAC

The ATRAC (Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding) sys- tem compresses the sound data into 1/5 by cutting out the inaudible sound. Since the sound is selected based on psychoacoustics masking, the sound quality is not impaired. This unit is equipped with the ATRAC3 com- pressing system that can reduce the sound data to 1/10 or 1/20 of its original size. By employing this system, 2 times and 4 times long recordings are enabled in stereo mode.

!About the recording mode

You can select the recording mode from stereo recording, 2 times long recording, 4 times long recording, and mon- aural recording. Recordable time varies depending on the recording mode. If the tracks are recorded on an 80- minute MiniDisc, its recording time changes as follows:
