Monaural Recording and Stereo Recording
When recording FM/AM (MW/LW) broadcasts, you can
select one of the two recording methods — Monaural
(Long) Recording and Stereo (Normal) Recording.
• Monaural (Long) Recording — Records both stereo
program and monaural program in monaural. This allows
you to record on an MD twice as long as the MD’s
recording time (indicated on the package of the MD). For
example, you can record a 120-minute program on a 60-
minute MD, though recorded sound becomes monaural.
(Reproduced sound through the speakers during
Monaural recording also becomes monaural.)
• Stereo (Normal) Recording — Sound is recorded in
stereo (both on the left and right audio channels).
You can also use the Standard Recording method
described on page 34 for Stereo Recording.
