! 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 track numbers
1. Track numbers are created automatically during record-
ing via the analogue connection when a silence of 1 sec-
ond or more is detected (auto marker function). A series
of tracks can be recorded as one by disabling the auto
marker function.
2. When recording from a CD or a MiniDisc using the digital
connection, track numbers will be created at the same
points as on the CD or MiniDisc (synchro marker func-
tion).

" Track numbers may not be created in proper places,
depending on the source to be recorded from, such as
signals with noise.
" The track numbers on the playback side may not match
the track numbers recorded on the MiniDisc.
" When recording, if a programmed playback is performed
by the source or playback is performed by selecting tracks
manually, the MiniDisc track numbers may not be the
same as on the source.
" Track numbers may not be created properly, depending on
the connected stereo system.
