Disc recorded in monaural mode

This unit is capable of playing a disc recorded in the monaural mode.

Note

Discs with application of equalizer or SRS 3D ef- fect to the recorded sound (analog input) should be played without sound effect application.

«ÿ

As the amount of data required to record information in the mon- aural mode is half the amount required in the stereo mode, the play (record) time of a disc recorded in the monaural mode is twice (max. 148 minutes) that of a disc recorded in the stereo mode.
