About ATRAC
The ATRAC (Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding) system 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 compressing system that can reduce the
sound data to 1/10 or 1/20 of it's original size.
By employing this system, 2 times and 4 times long recording is enabled in stereo
mode.
