Q Automatic 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. The sampling frequency of the
input signal is displayed during recording (see page 11).
