Sampling frequency
Three types of digital signals are usually used according to the sampling frequencies. The sampling frequencies
vary depending on the types of digital equipment as shown below.
32 kHz : Standard and long-hour modes of DAT, etc.
44.1 kHz : Standard mode of DAT, CD, MD, etc.
48 kHz : Standard mode of DAT, etc.
(DAT : Digital Audio Tape deck)
In general, high-quality recording based on digital signal transmission is not possible unless the source and
recorder components use the same sampling frequency. As this unit has a built-in sampling rate converter, digital
signals with 32 kHz and 48 kHz can be recorded by conversion to the MD sampling frequency (44.1 kHz).
Digital recording and SCMS
Designed for copyright protection, the SCMS is a
prescription that copying of digital signals as they
are in the digital form between digital audio equip-
ment is allowable only for one generation.
Digital recording is not available with commercially
marketed music software (CD, MD, etc.) containing
the copy prohibit code.
