Notes:

●Tracks can be recorded in stereo recording mode, 2 times

long recording mode, and 4 times long recording mode

on one MiniDisc.

●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, “LP” is

displayed at the beginning of the track and no sound is

heard. (The operation and the display may vary depend-

ing on the unit.)

●Tracks recorded in monaural cannot be played if equip-

ment does not support the monaural playback.

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 80-minute MiniDisc, you can

record them in the following 4 modes:

Caution for 4 times long recording (LP4)

Special compressing method allows the 4 times long re-

cording to realize long-time stereo recording. Therefore,

some noise is recorded occasionally.

If sound quality is the main requirement, stereo recording

or 2 times long recording is recommended.

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 compressing sys-

tem that can reduce the sound data to 1/10 or 1/20 of it’s

original size.

By employing this system, 2 times and 4 times long re-

cording is enabled in stereo mode.
