• Audio components that support the LP2 or
LP4 modes are indicated by the
logo marks.
• Once you set, the recorder keeps its recording
mode when you record the next time.
• You can achieve high sound quality and rich
tones when recording in normal stereo (or
monaural) thanks to the newly developed DSP
TYPE-R for ATRAC (Adaptive TRansform
Acoustic Coding).
What is the newly developed DSP
TYPE-R for ATRAC?
"TYPE-R" is a high-level Sony specification
used in the Digital Signal Processor (DSP),
which is heart of the MiniDisc sound. This
technology gives the MiniDisc recorder twice
the signal processing capability as previous
MiniDisc Walkman models, producing a
sound quality close to that of MiniDisc decks.

Notes
• You cannot change the recording mode while
recording.
• It is recommended that you use the AC power
adaptor for long recordings.
• If you try to play an MD recorded in LP2
stereo or LP4 stereo on a player/recorder that
is not support these modes, playback will not
start and "LP:" will appear on the display.
• Sound recorded through digital (optical) input
can be monitored in stereo through
headphones/earphones, etc.
• When you record in LP4 stereo mode,
momentary noise may be produced on very
rare occasions with certain sound sources.
This is because of the special digital audio
compression technology that enables a
recording time 4 times longer than normal. If
noise is produced, it is recommended that you
record in normal stereo or LP2 stereo mode to
obtain better sound quality.
