FEATURES
In
conventional
analog
recording
systems,
the
quality
of
sound
reproduction
depends
upon
the
properties
of
magnetic
tape
and
heads,
so
that
it
is
virtually
impossible
to
bypass
the
inherent
limitations
of
conventional
analog
recording,
including
its
limited
dynamic
range
and
frequency
response,
and
its
associated
distor-
tion.
The
Pulse
Code
Modulation
(PCM)
system
points
the
way
to
a
new
era
in
sound
reproduction.
It
can
offer
performance
and
fidelity
far
superior
to
any
analog
system.
In
the
PCM
system,
sound
levels
are
converted
to
a
series
of
binary
codes.
This
information
is
recorded
as
digital
pulses
of
equal
amplitude.
In
playback,
all
that
has
to
be
done
is
to
discriminate
between
the
presence
and
absence
of
a
pulse.
The
quality
of
recording
and
playback
is
thus
not
dependent
on
the
characteris-
tics
of
tape
and
heads.
The
PCM-F1
is
the
newest
addition
to
Sony’s
line
of
PCM
digital
audio
processors
for
consumer
applications.
With
the
PCM-F1,
hi-fi
sound
reproduction
with
wide
dynamic
range,
minimal
distortion,
low
wow
and
flutter
(lower
than
the
measurable
limit),
and
flat
fre-
quency
response
is
achieved.
Listening
to
the
reproduction
of
your
PCM-F1
is
just
like
being
in
the
concert
hall.
Compact,
lightweight
PCM
digital
audio
processor
In
conventional
digital
audio
processors,
several
hundreds
of
ICs
are
employed
in
digital
processing
circuitry,
which
makes
it
dif-
ficult
to
make
the
unit
compact
and
lightweight.
;
The
three
new
LSls
for
digital
processing
developed
especially
for
digital
audio
processor
use
have
successfully
made
the
PCM-F1
compact
and
lightweight.
The
A/D
(analog-to-digital)
and
D/A
(digital-to-analog)
converters,
which
are
newly
developed
mono-
lithic
ICs,
are
especially
adaptable
to
mass
production.
This
results
in
the
production
of
a
PCM
digital
audio
processor
that
is
more
af-
fordable
to
a
greater
proportion
of
audiophiles.
Resolution
selector
for
recording
and
playback
with
wider
dynamic
range
and
less
distortion
The
PCM-F1
was
developed
in
accordance
with
the
technical
spec-
ifications
of
the
Electronic Industries
Association
of
Japan
(ElAu),
which
has
adopted
the
14-bit
linear
quantization
format.
In
addi-
tion,
the
unit
has
the
capability
of
recording
and
playing
back
in
ac-
cordance
with
the
16-bit
linear
quantization
format
with
wider
dynamic
range
and
less
distortion
than
the
14-bit
format.
The
14-bit
and
16-bit
formats
can
be
selected
with
the
RES
(resolution)
selec-
tor.
Three
different
power
sources
The
unit
can
be
operated
on
three
different
power
sources:
house
current
using
the
supplied
ac
power
adaptor,
optional
echargeable
battery
pack,
and
12V
car
battery
using
an
optional
car
battery
cord.
When
this
compact,
lightweight
PCM-F1
is
combin
ed
with
the
Sony
SL-F1
series
portable
video
cassette
recorder,
you
can
make
a
live
field
recording
with
wide
dynamic
range,
minimal
distortion,
and
flat
frequency
response.
Stable
power
supply
Two
dc-to-de
converters
incorporated
in
the
unit—one
5
V)
for
the
digital
circuitry
and
the
other
(£15
V)
for
the
analoy
circuitry—
assure
stable
power
supply.
Easy
tracking
adjustment
of
video
heads
Correct
tracking
adjustment
of
the
video
heads
can
te
easily
per-
formed
by
observing
a
meter.
Muting
switch
for
continuous
sound
reproduction
With
the
MUTING
switch
set
to
OFF,
the
reproduced
jound
is
not
cut
off
even
if
many
dropouts
occur,
or
if
the
tapes
not
being
transported
at
the
proper
playback
speed.
¢
Record
muting
function
allows
you
to
easily
insert
a
blank
space
between
selections.
Multi-generation
digital-to-digital
tape
copy
can
be
performed
with
absolutely
no
deterioration
in
signal
quality.
With
the
highly
perfected
error
detection
and
correction
circuits
in-
corporated,
the
reproduced
sound
quality
is
not
affected
by
dropout
errors.
You
can
choose
either
of
two

consumption,
etc.
is
located
on
the
bottom.
@
Should
any
liquid
or
solid
object
fall
into
the
cabinet
of
the
unit
or
the
ac
power
adaptor,
unplug
the
units
and
have
them
checked
by
qualified
personnel
before
operating
them
any
further.
@
Unplug
the
ac
power
adaptor
from
the
wall
outlet
if
it
is
not
to
be
used
for
an
extended
period
of
time.
To
disconnect
the
cord,
pull
it
out
by
grasping
the
plug.
Never
pull

itself.
On
installation
®
Do
not
install
the
unit
and
the
ac
power
adaptor
in
a
location
near
heat
sources
such
as
radiators
or
air
ducts,
or
in
a
place
subject
to
direct
sunlight,
excessive
dust,
mechanical
vibration
or
shock.
@
Good
air
circulation
is
essential
to
prevent
internal
heat
build-up
in
the
unit
and
the
ac
power
adaptor.
Place
these
units
in
a
location
with
adequate
air
circulation.
Do
not
place
the
ac
power
adaptor
on
a
soft
surface,
such
as
a
rug,
that
would
block
the
ventilation
slots
on
the
bottom.
®
Do
not
place
anything
on
top
of
the
cabinets.
The
top
ventilation
slots
of
the
ac
power
adaptor
must
be
unobstructed
for
proper
operation
of
the
unit
and
to
prolong
the
life
of
its
components.
On
operation
@
Before
making
connections,
be
sure
to
turn
off
each
component.
@The
PCM
digital
audio
processor
incorporates
a
shield
which
suppresses
the
radiation
of
the
high-frequency
signal
used
in
the
pulse-code
modulation
process.
However,
the
unit
may
still
possibly
interfere
with
an
AM/FM
tuner
or
a
television
set.
If
recep-
tion
interference
occurs,
move
the
unit
away
from
the
affected
component.
@
The
muting
circuitry
of
the
unit
may
activate
if
a
vacuum
cleaner,
electric
shaver,
transceiver
or
similar
device
causes
interference.
@
When
the
unit
is
not
being
used,
turn
the
power
off
to
conserve
energy
and
to
extend
the
life
of
your
unit.
On
cleaning
Clean
the
cabinet,
panel
and
controls
with
a
soft
cloth
lightly
moistened
with
mild
detergent
solution.
Do
not
use
any
type
of
abrasive
pad,
scouring
powder
or
solvent
such
as
alcohol
or
ben-
zine.
On
repacking
Do
not
throw
away
the
carton
and
the
packing
material.
It
makes
an
ideal
container
to
transport
the

When
shipping
the
unit
for
repair
work
or
to
another
location,
repack
it
as
illustrated
