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 signal 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 calls 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.
Precautions
Safety
• Operate the unit only on 120 V AC, 60 Hz.
• One blade of the plug is wider than the other for the
purpose of safety and will fit into the power outlet only one
way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet,
contact your dealer.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet,
unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel
before operating it any further.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be used
for an extended period of time. To disconnect the cord,
pull it out by grasping the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
Operation
Before making program source connections, be sure to
unplug the unit.
Installation
• Do not install the unit in a location near heat sources such
as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.
• Do not place anything on the top of the cabinet. The top
ventilation holes must be unobstructed for the proper
operation of the unit and to prolong the life of its components.
NOTE
When closing the cassette compartment, do not push
the cassette lid forcibly by hand, but perform with
the OPEN/CLOSE button.
For the customers in the U.S.A.
For detailed safety precautions, see the ’IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS’ leaflet.
If you have any question or problem concerning your unit,
please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
Moisture Condensation
If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm location,
moisture may condense inside the unit. In this condition,
the tape may adhere to the head drum and be damaged, or
the unit may not operate correctly. Always remove the
cassette when the unit will not be used.
If moisture is present...
e Function controls will not operate,
e All operations will stop.
When the CAUTION indicator lights and the unit will not operate
Leave the unit turned on for about an hour.
Detaching the Side Panels
After removing the screws, secure the cabinet with the
supplied lock screws (M4 x 6). Do not use the longer
screws.
For safety, before doing this, be sure to disconnect the AC
power cord from the AC outlet.
Serial copy management system
Excellent sound quality
This unit utiiizes the seriai copy management system that
permits digital-to-digital recording for one generation. You
can record CD sound or other digital formats through a
digital-to-digital connection. (See page 42.)
Date Function automatically memories the recording date and time
The year, month, day, day of the week. hour, minute and
second are automatically memorized in the subcode area
during recording, so that during playback you can display
this data to check when the tape was recorded. This
function is especially convenient when recording live
performances, etc.
Three sampling frequencies
Recording/piayback can be done with three sampling
frequencies (48 kHz. 44.1 kHz and 32 kHz).
48 kHz: For analog and digital input signals in a standard
mode.
44.1 kHz; For compact disc and pre-recorded DAT tape.
32 kHz: For analog input signals in a long-play mode.
Long play mode
This unit can operate in a long-play mode. Analog input
signals can be recorded or playback for up to four
consecutive hours when the DT-120 DAT cassette tape is
used. The sampling frequency will be 32 kHz in the long-
play mode.
Visible cassette loading
1-bit A/D converter
For the A/D converter section which converts analog input
signals to digital signals, the unit employs a 1-bit A/D
converter which theoretically generates no zero-cross
distortion for a clear, elegant sound quality.
Pulse D/A converter
Superior playback performance is achieved with a 1-bit D/A
converter.
Rich variety of subcode information
This unit can record subcode information such as Start IDs.
program numbers. Skip IDs, and absolute time data,
enabling you to quickly locate tunes and display the
playback time in the same manner as when playing
compact discs.
Digital tade-in/fade-out
Professional sounding fade-in/fade-out of either digital or
analog signals can be accomplished by use of the FADER
button.
Post edit recording of sub codes
You can record or rewrite the following sub codes after the
audio signal recording has been completed.
Start ID: Signifies the beginning of a seiection.
Program number; Gives a number to the selection.
Skip ID; Signifies the beginning of a portion to be skipped.
End ID; Signifies the end position of recording/piayback.
Since sub codes are written on the tape separately from
audio signals, the audio signals are not affected.
You can view the tape operation through the lid of the
cassette compartment. Due to a revolutionary new
transport mechanism, cassette loading time has been
significantly reduced.

Notes on connection
e Use the connecting cords specified in the illustrations.
# Turn off the power for all equipments before making
connections.
e Be sure to insert the plugs firmly into the jacks Loose
connections may cause hum and noise. When unplugging,

Notes on the optical cable
e Do not bend the cord. When the cord is not used, curl it
with a diameter of more than 15 cm (5 7, inches),
e Do not use it under high temperatures,
e When the optical cable is not connected, cover the
OPTICAL IN/OUT jacks with the supplied caps.
Note on sound signals
When connecting an optical cable to the DIGITAL IN/
DIGITAL OUT jacks, sound signals (L/R) are transmitted
together through the cable.
Note on the CONTROL-S IN Jack
To remotely control this unit through a receiver or amplifier,
connect the input of this unit to the CONTROL-S output of a
Sony receiver or amplifier, with a CONTROL-S cable. When
this connection is used, only remote control commands
sent through the receiver or amplifier will be executed. The
remote sensor of this unit will not function.
