In regard to the sampling frequency

Normally, there are the three following types of digital signals, and they are called sampling frequen-
cies. The sampling frequencies are divided as follows according to the type of the digital equipment.

48 kHz

: Standard mode for DAT, B-mode transmission of BS tuners, etc.

44.1 kHz : Standard mode for DAT, CD, MD, etc.

32 kHz

: Standard and long-time mode for DAT, A-mode transmission of BS tuners, etc.

(DAT: Digital Audio Tapedeck)

As this unit has a built-in sampling rate converter, 48 kHz and 32 kHz digital signals can be recorded
converted to 44.1 kHz.
