You can perform 4 types of recording using combinations of the Preset “Rec Channel” (v P.59) and “Input Jack” (v P.64).

Set the Rec Channel to “stereo” to create a stereo (2-channel) sound file. Or set it to “mono” to create a monaural (1-channel) sound file. The monaural file will be almost half the size as the stereo file.

Set the input jack to “stereo” to record both channels. Or set it to “mono” to record the left channel only.
