About the recording mode

Notes:

●Tracks can be recorded in the 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 the 2 times long recording and the 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 depending 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 an 80-minute MiniDisc, you can record them in the following 4 modes:

Indication	Recording mode	Recording time

SP/STEREO	Stereo	Max. 80 min.
LP2 REC	2 times long (stereo)	Max. 160 min.
LP4 REC	4 times long (stereo)	Max. 320 min.
SP/MONO	Monaural	Max. 160 min.

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 its original size.

By employing this system, 2 times and 4 times long re- cording is enabled in the stereo mode.
