Marantz CD Recorder, CDR310 manual Recording format settings, When the channel setting is Stereo

Recording format settings

Set the recording format (compression format and channel) for recording.

<Default value > Preset1 : Stereo/CD-DA Preset2 : Mono/MP3 Preset3 : Stereo/MP3

Notes

The recording format can only be changed when there are no tracks saved on the HD. There is only one HD recording format on the recorder. This cannot be changed if tracks are already recorded in a certain format. To change the recording format, either burn the data to a CD-R, or format the HD. When data is burned to a CD-R, the data on the HD is erased. Stereo/ monaural can be changed.

[Recording format parameters]

The recorder can record in the following compression formats and channels.

•Compressed sound recording that uses MPEG Audio Layer III (MP3) in either monaural or stereo.

•Non-compressed sound recording that uses the 16-bit linear pulse code modulation used on a CD.

•Non-compressed sound recording that uses WAVE (Windows standard audio file format)

•Non-compressed sound recording that uses AIFF (the audio file format developed by Apple Computer, Inc.) The format parameters that can be recorded are as shown below.
