Double or quadruple time of stereo recording is possible.

Monaural recording

In monaural, you can record twice as long as the stereo

recording.

A track recorded in monaural can be played back in dou-

ble speed, see page 24.

The recording mode remains unchanged until a new

mode is selected.

Notes:

zTracks can be recorded in stereo recording mode, 2

times long recording mode, and 4 times long recording

mode on one MiniDisc.

zIn 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.

zTracks 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, no

sound is heard. (The operation and the display may

vary depending on the unit.)

zTracks recorded in monaural cannot be played if

equipment does not support the monaural playback.

„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 com-

pressing system that can reduce the sound data to 1/10

or 1/20 of its original size. By employing this system, 2

times and 4 times long recordings are enabled in stereo

mode.

1When a recording is paused, press the MODE

button repeatedly to select the recording mode.

Each time the button is pressed, the display will

change as follows.

2Start recording.
