s To check the remaining disc time
Whilst recording, you can check the remaining time available on the disc. Press the DISPLAY button whilst recording or whilst in the recording pause mode.
s Double time recording in monaural mode
When recording in the monaural long-play mode, it can be about twice as long as the recording time available for a stereo recording. The monaural long-play mode is very useful for recording conferences or lectures. Press the MODE button whilst the recording is paused. q Each time this button is pressed, the display will switch between the stereo mode and the monaural long-play mode.
Lights up whilst in the monaural long-play mode.
Remaining recordable time
q When the DISPLAY button is pressed again, the unit will return to the initial display. Note: q The display of the remaining disc time may vary slightly from the actual remaining time. (Page 39)
s To create your own track numbers whilst recording
You can create your own track numbers at special points in a recording, so that these points can easily be found later. At any point where you want to create a track number whilst recording, press the REC button. q The track number will be written on the disc and the recording will continue uninterrupted.
Notes: q If input is from a stereo source, the sounds from the left and right channels will be combined. q Although the monitor sound you hear in the earphones whilst recording is in stereo, recording will be monaural. q MiniDiscs recorded in the monaural long-play mode may not play on other MD players. q When a recording is made in the monaural long-play mode, you will be able to play back the MiniDisc twice as fast as the normal playback speed. (Page 25) q When the unit is stopped after a recording has been made in the monaural long-play mode, the recording mode will return to the stereo mode automatically.
