Copy information during recording
• Copy information that is recorded on tape during
recording varies according to the input connector
used and the signal format, as shown in the table
below.
• In the case of AES/EBU and the IEC-958 for
broadcasting studio use, the digital signal carries no
copy information.
• As for the IEC-958 for consumer use, three types of
copy information exists: copying possible, first-
generation copy permitted, and copying prohibited
(Serial Copy Management System).
Digital Interface
Digital input and output connectors
• The following table shows signal formats that
correspond to the input and output connectors on
the deck.
• The DIGITAL COAXIAL IN connector accepts not
only the consumer version of the IEC-958
international digital audio interface standard, but
also the broadcasting studio version of the IEC-958
standard used by such DAT decks as the PCM-2300,
PCM-2700 or PCM-2700A.
