Digital Audio Tape
DAT (Digital Audio Tape) is a new recording system which
digitalizes the audio signal and records it on a DAT
cassette tape.
DAT records the audio signai by converting the analog
sound into a digital signal. This converting system is
called the PCM (Pulse Code Modulation), and its accurate
processing of the audio signal allows recording/playback
with lower wow and flutter, wider dynamic range, lower
distortion rate, and superb signal-to-noise ratio.

in addition, various control codes called sub codes can be
written on the DAT cassette separately from the audio
signal. They are written for a variety of convenient
playback/tape editing operations, and except for the |
absolute time, can be rewritten after audio signal recording
has been completed.
