Remarks

The number of apparent playback channels can differ from the number of physical channels of the recording medium, i.e., 2-track monophonic recordings. In this example, the trackConfig element should record the fact that there are two physical tracks on the sound medium, while the soundChan element should be used to state that there is a single output channel. This element may be mapped to MARC field 344 subfield e or subfield f as appropriate.
