stereo, Hi-SP stereo and Hi-LP stereo mode are
indicated by the
or logo mark.

• It is recommended that you use the AC power
adaptor (not supplied) for long recordings.
• When you record in LP4 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
the long time recording. If noise is produced, it is
recommended that you record in normal stereo or
LP2 mode to obtain better sound quality.
• It is recommended that you use the recorder to edit
(dividing or combining) long tracks recorded in
linear PCM stereo. Transferring such tracks and
editing them on a computer may require an
extremely long time.
