Recording on MD
Basic section
Sampling frequency
Three types of digital signals are usually used according to the sampling frequencies. The sampling fre-
quencies vary depending on the types of digital equipment as shown below.
32 kHz : A mode broadcasting of BS tuner, etc.
44.1 kHz : CD, MD, etc.
48 kHz : CS tuner, B mode broadcasting of BS tuner, etc.
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).
