„ Long-play recording
2 times and 4 times long recording
Double or quadruple time of stereo recording is possible.
Monaural recording
In monaural, you can record twice as long as the stereo
recording.
A track recorded in monaural can be played back in dou-
ble speed, see page 24.
The recording mode remains unchanged until a new
mode is selected.
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 ear-
phones, 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, 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.
