Disc recorded in monaural mode

This unit is capable of playing a Mini Disc recorded in the “monaural long-play mode.” As the “monaural long-play mode” requires half the amount of data required for stereo mode recording, the playing time (recording time) of the disc is doubled (to max. 148 minutes) from that in the stereo mode.

÷A Mini Disc recorded in the “monaural long-play mode” cannot be played normally with equipment which is not compatible with monaural playback.
