•If you record in SP, LP2, or LP4 mode using an externally connected stereo microphone (not supplied) or other stereo equipment connected to the LINE IN (OPTICAL) jack, the recording will be stereo. If you record with the built-in microphone, the recording will be monaural (the same sound is recorded to the left and right channels).

•The recording mode can be changed during recording pause. When you change the recording mode, a track mark is automatically added at that point.

•Audio components that support the LP2 or

LP4 modes are indicated by theor logo marks.
