The

PCM-2000

is

a

portable

digital

audio

recorder

designed

in

compliance

with

the

DAT

(digital

audio

tape

recorder)

format.

With

this

unit,

recording

as

well

as

playback

in

connection

with

professional

digital

audio

equipment

is

possible,

enabling

the

DAT

cassette

recorder

to

be

used

in

professional

fields.

Excellent

sound

quality

The

DAT

recorder

digitizes

the

audio

signal

and

then

records

it.

Thus,

compared:

with

a

conventional

analog

tape

recorder,

tape-to-tape

dubbing

is

possible

with

no

deterioration

in

sound

quality.

Smaller

Developed

exclusively

for

DAT,

the

cassette

is

half

the

size

of

conventional

analog

compact

(73x

3.81mm).

Two

hours

of

continuous

recording

and

playback

are

possible.

High-speed

search

with

the

sub

codes

In

addition

to

the

PCM

area

for

recording

audio

signals,

a

DAT

tape

includes

a

sub

code

area.

Three

kinds

of

sub

codes

(start

ID,

program

number,

skip

ID)

can

be

written

in

the

sub

code

area.

The

start

ID

and

program

number

let

you

locate

a

particular

portion

of

the

tape

quickly.

The

skip

allows

you

to

skip

an

unwanted

portion

during

playback.
