Digital input and output connectors

∙The following table shows signal formats that correspond to the input and output connectors on the deck.

∙The DIGITAL COAXIAL IN connector accepts not only the consumer version of the IEC-958 international digital audio interface standard, but also the broadcasting studio version of the IEC-958 standard used by such DAT decks as the PCM-2300, PCM-2700 or PCM-2700A.

Type	Input connector	Output connector

	IEC-958 for
DIGITAL	consumer use	IEC-958 for consumer
COAXIAL	IEC-958 for	use
	broadcasting studio use

Copy information during recording

∙Copy information that is recorded on tape during recording varies according to the input connector used and the signal format, as shown in the table below.

∙In the case of AES/EBU and the IEC-958 for broadcasting studio use, the digital signal carries no copy information.

∙As for the IEC-958 for consumer use, three types of copy information exists: copying possible, first- generation copy permitted, and copying prohibited (Serial Copy Management System).
