Recording on MD

Sampling frequency

43

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.

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).
