Notes:

z

Tracks can be recorded in stereo recording mode, 2
times long recording mode, and 4 times long recording
mode on one MiniDisc.

z

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
headphones, the recorded sound is monaural.

z

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,
"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.)

z

Tracks 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.

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, its recording time changes as follows:

Caution for 4 times long recording (LP4)

Special compressing method allows the 4 times long
recording to realise long-time stereo recording. There-
fore, some noise is recorded occasionally. If sound qual-
ity should be emphasised, stereo recording or 2 times
long recording is recommended.
