About ATRAC

ATRAC (Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding) is a generic term for an audio compression technology that realises both high sound quality and high compression rates. Three versions are in use: ATRAC (SP mode (normal MD format)), ATRAC3 (LP2 and LP4 modes) and ATRAC3plus (Hi-SP and Hi-LP modes). 

There is then a table on pages 81 and 82 detailing the bit rates/recording times for the different modes.

Also, on page 83 it states:

About the DSP TYPE-S for ATRAC/ATRAC3
This recorder supports DSP TYPE-S, a specification for high-level Sony MiniDisc decks equipped with digital signal processors (DSP). This specification allows the recorder to produce high-quality sounds from tracks recorded in MDLP mode. Since it retains DSP TYPE-R support, the recorder produces superior results during recording or playback in SP (normal stereo) mode.
