Sampling frequency
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 beiow.
32 kHz : Standard and long-hour modes of DAT, A mode broadcasting of BS tuner, etc.
44.1 kHz : Standard mode of DAT, CD, MD, etc.
48 kHz : Standard mode of DAT, B mode broadcasting of BS tuner, etc.
(DAT : Digital Audio Tape deck)
In general, high-quality recording based on digital signal transmission is not possible unless the source
and recorder components use the same sampling frequency. As this unit has a built-in sampling rate
converter, digital signals with 32 kHz and 48 kHz can be recorded by conversion to the MD sampling
frequency (44.1 kHz).
When "TRACKMARK" is displayed
Pressing the ENTER key while "TRACK MARK" is displayed allows to select whether track numbers are marked
automatically during recording or manually during or after recording. Select the desired method with the
1 - 4.4 or
►►I and press the ENTER key to set it. The initial setting is "AUTO". The track numbers can be used when
searching or programming tracks in playback.
AUTO
If a no-sound input has lasted for the 2 seconds during recording, the track number will be incremented automatically by
" 1". Usually, use this position for recording. Use this mode when recording all of the tracks in a CD. When recording music
containing a continuous section with a very low level, for example when recording classic music, the track number may
be incremented by "1" after such a section, in this case, cancel the track number later. It is recommended to use the
MANUAL mode when recording such a kind of music.
During digital recording of CD, the track number is incremented automatically by "1" according to the data contained in
the digital information. The no-sound blank is not detected.
When the CD track number is increased during manual search of a CD, the track number recorded on the MD may
sometimes fail to be incremented.
A no sound track may sometimes created at the moment the played CD stops.
MANUAL
With this setting, the MD track number is not incremented automatically during recording. Track numbers can be marked
either during editing (by pressing the
EDIT key) or after recording (by executing the DIVIDE operation -ijil).
This setting is convenient when recording a CD which has been recorded in live or which contains very low-level sound
such as a classical music CD.
