Notes:

"Tracks 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

may vary depending on the unit.)

"Tracks can be recorded in 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.

"The recording mode remains unchanged until a new

mode is selected.

Caution for 4 times long recording (LP4)

Special compression methods are used to achieve 4

times long recording. This may cause some noise to be

recorded occasionally. When the highest quality is

required, stereo or LP2 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 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.
