zAutomatic conversion of digital sampling rates during recording

A built-in sampling rate converter automatically converts the sampling frequency of various digital sources to the 44.1 kHz sampling rate of your MD deck. This allows you to record sources such as 32- and 48- kHz DAT or satellite broadcasts, as well as compact discs and other MDs.
