Three types of digital signals are usually used according to the sampling frequencies. The sampling frequencies vary
depending on the types of digital equipment as shown below.
48 kHz : Standard mode of DAT, B mode broadcasting of BS tuner, etc.
44.1 kHz : Standard mode of DAT, CD, MD, etc.
32 kHz
: Standard and long-hour modes of DAT, A mode broadcasting of BS tuner, etc.
In general, high-quality recording based on digital signal transmission is available only when the sampling frequency of the
source equipment matches that of the recorder equipment. However, this unit incorporates a sampling rate converter so that
it can also record digital signals sampled at 48 kHz and 32 kHz by converting their sampling frequency into the sampling
frequency of MD (44.1 kHz).
The SCMS may be activated with certain type of satellite broadcasting.

digital form between digital audio equipment is allowable
only for one generation.
If the digital source has a copy prohibition code, “SCMS
ON” is displayed and the unit enters record-pause mode.
