Sony CDR-W33 User manual

The Sony CDR-W33 is a compact disc recorder developed
with the achievement of outstanding sound quality
as a central design objective. Through the use of Super Bit Mapping
recording technology and 24-bit A to D and D to A conversion,
the CDR-W33 meets this target and is able to achieve
high sound quality approaching that of 20-bit recording quality.

SBM has been a feature of Sony DAT recorders for many years, and is also adopted in
the CDR-W33 to provide high sound quality equivalent to a 20-bit digital recording
from an analog input source.
24-bit A/D and D/A conversion
The A/D and D/A converters of the CDR-W33 operate at a resolution of 24 bits,
maximizing the advantages of the SBM process.
Digital Limiter and Equalizer
A digital limiter and equalizer are available for use when the input signal is from an
analog source.
-Digital Limiter
The algorithm of the digital limiter increases the average signal level and smoothly
limits signal peaks. The limiting ratio is adjustable up to 100%, at which setting the gain
is increased by 6 dB.
-Digital Equalizer
A 3-band(Bass/Mid/Treble)parametric equalizer provides up to ±6 dB of correction
(in 1 dB steps)
Alternative digital inputs
Both coaxial and optical inputs are provided .
Super Bit Mapping (SBM)Technology

able to be attenuated via the set-up menu.
