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 calls sub codes can be \written on the DAT cassette separately from the audio signal. They are witten for a variety of convenient playbackitape editing operations, and except for the absolute time, can be rewritten after audio signal recording has been completed,ge) On safety # Operate the unit only on 120 ¥ AC, 60 Mz ot disconnected fram the AC power source itis connected to the wal outlet. even i Ht has been turned off ny Sold Object oF liquid fal into the cabinet, unplug the unit andi have it checked by qualified personne! before operating any further 4 Unplug the unit from the wall outet if i is not for an extended pull tout by or od of time.

Three sampling frequencies Recordingiplayback can be done with three sampling frequencies (48 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 32 kHz}, 48 kHz. For analog and digital input signals in standarc kHz: For compact disc and pre-recorded DAT tape. 32 kHz: For analog inpul signals in long-play mo: hen recording analog signals in standard mode, you can solect the sampling frequency among 48 kHz, 44.1 KHz and 82 kee, Long play mode This unt can operate ina long-play mode. Analog input signals can be recorded or playback for up to four ngecutive hours when the DT-120 DAT cassette tape is used. The sampling frequency will be 32 kHz in the long: play mode. Visible cassette loading ‘You can view the tape operation through the lid of the sselte compartment. Due to a revolutionary new transport mechanism, cassette loading time has been signiticantly reduced, Excellent sound quality {bit AD converter For the VD converter section which converts anatog input signals to digital signais, the unit employs a t-bit AID Converter which theoretically generates no zero-cross distortion for a clear. elegant sound quality Pulse D/A converter Superior playback performance is achieved with a pulse D/ A converter, Rich variety of subcode information This unit can record subcode information such as Start IDs, program numbers, Skip IOs, and absolute time data, enabling you to quickly locate selections and display the playback time in the same manner as when playing compact discs. Post edit recording of sub codes You can record or rewrite the following sub codes after the audio signal recording has been completed Start ID: Signiies the beginning of a selection Program number: Gives a number to the selection Skio ID: Signifies the beginning of a portion to be skipped nd ID: Signifies the end position of recoraingiplayback Since sub codes are written on the tape separately from audio signals, the audia signals are not affected Date Function The year, month. day. day of the week, hour, minute and ically recorded in the subcode area fecording, so that during playback you can display fata to check when the tape was recorded.
