Digital

Audio

Tape

DAT

(Digital

Audio

Tape)

is

a

new

recording

system

which

digitalizes

the

audio

signal

and

records

it

on

a

DAT

cassette

tape.

DAT

records

the

audio

signal

by

converting

the

analog

sound

into

a

digital

signal.

This

converting

system

is

called

the

PCM

(Pulse

Code

Modulation),

and

its

accurate

processing

of

the

audio

signal

allows

recording/playback

with

lower

wow

and

flutter,

wider

dynamic

range,

lower

distortion

rate,

and

superb

signal-to-noise

ratio.

In

addition,

various

control

codes

called

sub

codes

can

be

written

on

the

DAT

cassette

tape

separately

from

the

audio

signal.

They

are

written

for

a

variety

of

convenient

playback/tape

editing

operations,

and,

except

for

the

absolute

time,

can

be

rewritten

after

audio

signal

recording

has

been

completed.

Features

of

Application

of

the

serial

copy

management

system

This

unit

utilizes

the

serial

for

one

generation.

You

can

record

CD

sound

or

other

digital

formats

through

a

digital-to-

digital

connection.

Three

sampling

frequencies

Recording/playback

can

be

done

with

three

sampling

frequencies

(48

kHz,

44.1

kHz

and

32

kHz).

48

kHz:

For

analog

input

signals

in

a

standard

mode

44.1

kHz:

For

compact

disc

and

pre-recorded

DAT

tape

32

kHz:

For

analog

input

signals

in

a

long-play

mode

Long-play

mode

This

unit

can

operate

in

a

long-play

mode.

Analog

input

can

be

recorded

or

played

back

for

up

to

four

consecutive

hours

when

the

DT-120

DAT

tape

is

used.

The

sampling

frequency

will

be

32

kHz

in

the

long-play

mode.

Visible

You

can

view

the
