I am sorry if this information is totally wrong, but I believe I read somewhere that one could set the record type to "mono" which would then record the track (lecture in this case) to both left and right channels at the same time. Since you are using a mono mic, wouldn't this work to save you the step chanding from stereo to mono later ? My MZ-N1 has this option, but of course that is not HiMD, nor "current" hardware, so my experience might not apply.
