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.
