HAbout monaural long-play mode

When a recording is made in the monaural long-play mode, the length of

the recording can be double that of a stereo recording for the same amount

of space on the MD. The monaural long-play mode is very useful for

recording songs that were originally recorded in monaural, or for recording

talk programs.

Press the REC MODE button.

IEach time the button is pressed, the display will switch between the

stereo mode and the monaural long-play mode.

IThis mode cannot be changed while recording.

IThe level meter shows stereo indication even when the mode is the

monaural long-play mode.

IThe recording mode will not change back until you change it manually.

After you have made a recording in the monaural long-play mode, it is

recommended that you return the unit to the stereo mode so that you

won’t forget to do so later.
