Descriptions of menu items (MP3)
You can select one of the following recording qualities when you select “MP3.”

MP3 (compressed) in stereo high-quality recording mode
128kbps:

Note
- If either one of the files created exceeds the maximum file size (2 GB for an LPCM file and 1 GB for an MP3 file) during recording, both the LPCM and MP3 files will be divided at the same time.
- The linear PCM recorder adds the same name to both the LPCM and MP3 files at the beginning of the dual recording. However, when the files are divided during recording, different file names may be added to the LPCM and the MP3 files depending on the names of the files already stored in the linear PCM recorder.
