REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM
This is a convenient system which has been originated and
developed by Philips. Before starting operation, connect the
remote cable as shown on page 7. The followings are the
brief explanation of its major performances:
Synchronized Recording
Synchronized recording refers to the process in which the
DAT deck starts recording in synchronism with the CD player.
Please study these instructions carefully before starting to
operate the unit, to use the unit correctly. We take no responsibility
for any problems resulting from misuse of this unit if it is operated.
by methods other than those given in this manual.
On operating this unit:
Since this unit incorporates a microprocessor which controls
various functions, please read the description and cautions
(notes) for each item carefully before use.
If operated incorrectly, the required functions may not be per-
formed. In this case, turn the power OFF then turn it ON again
and see if correct operation has become possible.
Important note for users in U.K.:
The U.K. version is not fitted with a mains plug.
When fitting a mains plug to the mains lead note that the
wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code:
Blue = Neutral, Brown = Live.
As these colours may not correspond with the colour mark-
ings identifying theterminalsinyour plug proceed as follows:
the Brown wire must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter L or coloured Red.
The Blue wire must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter N or coloured Black.
Note: This apparatus must be protected by a 3 Amp Fuse if a
13 Amp plug is used or, if any other type of plug is used, by
ab Amp Fuse eitherinthe plug oradapteror atthe distribution
board. If in doubt consult a qualified electrician.
DO NOT CONNECT EITHER WIRE TO THE EARTH TERMINAL
IN THE PLUG WHICH IS MARKED BY THE LETTER E OR BY
THE SAFETY EARTH SYMBOL OR COLOURED GREEN OR
GREEN - AND — YELLOW
CAUTIONS
1. Safety hints
1. Be sure to pull the plug, not the cord. (Fig. 1)
2. Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.
3. Do not damage the power cord. (Fig. 2)
4. If the deck is not to be used for an extended period, unplug
the power cord.
5. Do not remove the cabinet. To avoid electric shocks, do not
touch parts inside the deck. Consult a dealer for repairs.
6. Do not permit any liquids or objects to get inside the deck.
The deck could be damaged if water or flammable or metallic
objects get inside.
-
Pull the plug when disconnecting the cord.
Note:
This diagram does not represent a U.K. mains plug.
Fig. 1
Take care not to damage the power cord.
Fig. 2
2. Installation
1. Avoid placing the unit on or adjacent to an amplifier, to prevent
hum which is produced by some types of amplifiers. Move
the unit to a place where it will not be affected by the amplifier.
Keep the unit as far as possible from a TV set.
2. Avoid installing the unit in a location subject to excessively
high temperatures (e.g. direct sunlight, near a heater, etc.),
excessive humidity, dust, vibrations or magnetic fields.
3. Cleaning the heads
If this unit is used for a long period of time, its heads will become
dirty. When they become excessively dirty, recording and
playback will not be satisfactory. Because of this, clean the heads
every 30 hours of playing time with a cleaning casseite available
from your audio store.
Press the e/o REC and» PLAY buttons then, after another 10
seconds, press the m STOP button.
4. Volume setting
In DAT, digital signals are recorded and played back; because
of this, it is difficult to set the appropriate volume using the level
of noise as a reference. Do not raise the volume excessively
even if the beginning of a tune seems quiet. Otherwise, when
the level of the sound rises, it could damage the speakers or
other equipment.
5. Condensation
1. If condensation forms on the head drum, the heart of a DAT
unit, the tape may stick to the head drum and may be damaged.
2. Condensation may occur in the following cases:
e When the unit is moved from a cold place to a warm place.
© IN a room immediately after its heating has been switched
ON, or in a place where the deck is exposed to cold arr
from a cooler.
® [In a place which is excessively humid.
3. When condensation could have occurred in the DAT deck
such as when it is moved from a cold place to a warm place,
turn the POWER switch ON and leave it for about one hour
before using it.
When condensation is likely to occur, do not leave a cassette
in the deck. It is recommended that you always remove
cassette tapes from the deck when it is not in use.
e Use the deck where the ambient temperature is from
5°C(41°F) to 35°C(95°F).
When the deck is used in a cold place, condensation may
occur more frequently.
6. Timer switch setting
Set the TIMER switch to “REC” or “PLAY” when performing
timer recording or playback. At other times, be sure to set the
TIMER switch to OFF.
— E Po

7. Heat radiation
Be careful not to block the ventilation holes so that the tem-
perature inside the deck does not rise excessively. Do not install
the unit in a badly ventilated place.
SELECTING THE AC SUPPLY VOLTAGE
When this deck is used in an area where the supply voltage
is different from the preset voltage, reset the voltage selector
to the correct position.
Slide the voltage selector with a screwdriver so that the desired
voltage marking is in the window.
Caution:
Disconnect supply cord before changing the voltage.

Note:
When installing this unit, leave an appropriate distance between
it and your stereo amplifier, tuner and television set. If they are
too close, noise (induced hum) may occur.
We recommend that you use outdoor FM and TV antennas.
3. Connections to stereo components
(Digital signal lines)
e To transmit digital signals between the DAT deck and an
amplifier with digital in/out terminals exclusively for DAT, use
the DIGITAL IN/OUT terminals on the rear panel of the deck.
For the transmission of digital signals, two types of cables
can be used; COAXIAL (for electrical signals) and OPTICAL
(for optical signals). Either of these can be used for digital
signal transmission.
e With digital signals, only one cable is used for the transmission
of both the left and right channel signals.

using exclusive optical fiber cables.
Note:
Clean the tip of the plug of the optical cable before connecting
it.
e Synchro recording with CD player
When making a synchro recording with a CD player, as well
as connecting the optical fiber or coaxial cable, perform the
following connections.
1. Connect the REMOTE CONT. terminals with the remote
cable. (See page 7.)
2. Connect the OUTPUT terminal (analog) of the CD player and
the ANALOG IN terminal with a RCA pin cord.
e Red light in the OPTICAL OUT terminal:
When the power is turned on, a red light appears inside the
terminal. This is used to transmit the digital signal. Although
it is not dangerous even when it strikes the eyes directly, do
not remove the cap covering the terminal when not in use.
Notes:
1. When a digital program is encoded with a “copy prohibit”
code (except in case of SCMS), it cannot be copied
digitally. To copy such a program, perform analog
connection. (Refer to page 12.)
2. Never connect the digital coaxial cable to the analog input
terminals of an amplifier, etc. as this could seriously damage
the amplifier.
3. When the OPTICAL terminals are used for digital connection,
check that the optional exclusive optical fiber cables can be
inserted into the terminals of the amplifier.
4. Do not bend optical fiber cable sharply. For details, refer to
its instructions.
5. When both the ANALOG and COAXIAL terminals of the DAT
deck are used for the connection of certain components
(amplifiers, tuners, cassette decks, etc.), noise (induced hum)
may occur. In this case, disconnect any unused IN/OUT
terminals.

DAT recording system
e In a DAT deck, heads mounted in the head drum rotate at
high speed to record digitally-encoded signals on the tape
at an angle to the tape. This system is called “helical scanning”.
e PCM (music signal) area:
Digitally-encoded music signals are recorded in this area.
® ATF (Automatic Track Finding) area:
This area is used for recording ATF signals which control
the heads so that they trace the recorded signal for accurate
and stable tracking and the correct signals are picked up by
the rotating heads.
® Sub code area:
This area is for recording the signals which enable various
functions such as high-speed search and editing. With the
DAT850, A TIME (absolute time), Program No., Start ID and
End codes can be recorded.
Digital signal processing
e Digital recording in the 48 kHz standard mode
Signals are converted from analog to digital before being
recorded. This is called A/D conversion.

1. The amplitude of the analog audio signal to be recorded is
detected 48,000 times per second by “slicing” the signal. This
is called “sampling at a frequency of 48 kHz".
2. The length of each slice is rearranged as 16 data bits. This
is called “16-bit quantization”.
3. Each quantized signal is encoded as a binary number (Os
and 1s) for digital recording.
e Digital playback
The quantized digital signals recorded on the DAT tape are
reconverted to analog signals through a D/A converter which
performs the reverse operations to those performed in A/D
conversion.

SCMS (Serial Copy Management System)
e SCMS controls the DAT's serial copy with the digital signal.
It is possible for a SCMS-compatible DAT deck to record digital
sources including CDs, DAT prerecorded tapes, DSR (Digital
Satellite Radio) programs onto DAT tape with a direct digital input.
For sources such as CDs, DAT tapes and DSR programs
covered by SCMS regulations, copy-permitted programs can
be recorded on DAT tape whether or not they contain a copy-
prohibit code. When the copied (recorded) tape is played back
e Copying digital sources
Digital copy
by a DAT deck and the digital output is input to the another
DAT deck, digital recording can be performed if there is no copy
prohibit code, however, digital recording cannot be performed
if there is a copy prohibit code. Namely, one — and only one
— copy can be made of a digital source with a copy prohibit
code, and second-generation, third-generation and serial
copying is not possible. SCMS applies in any DAT mode,
regardless the sampling frequency. The following illustrations
show the principles of the SCMS system.

Notes:
1. If the recording level is set to a value where the OVER level
indicator lights continuously, the recording signal will saturate
the tape and the sound will be distorted. Decrease the
recording level to a level at which the OVER level indicator
does not light.
2. Emphasis
With emphasis, high-frequency signals are recorded after
increasing their level (preemphasis); during playback this
process is reversed (deemphasis). This improves the S/N ratio
at higher frequencies.
This deck incorporates only a deemphasis circuit, so ıt IS
possible to play back signals which were recorded with
emphasis, however, it is impossible to record signals applying
emphasis.
Record muting
This is used to leave an appropriate no-signal recorded section
between tunes.
1. When a section of the source you do not want to record
is reached during recording, press the e/o REC/REC MUTE
button then release it. The REC indicator blinks and a
no-signal recorded section is left during record muting
operation.

2. Press the » PLAY button to start recording again.
To leave a no-signal recorded section of more than 4 seconds
Keep the e/oREC/REC MUTE button pressed continuously as
long as you want to leave a no-signal recorded section. When
the button is released after the above operations, the deck enters
the rec-pause mode.
® A TIME codes will be written continuously even when the rec-
mute mode is engaged.
e To make recordings in different recording modes on one
tape
Be sure to leave a no-signal section before starting recording
in the new mode.
Example: To change the recording mode from 48k to 32k-LP

2. Change the recoding mode.
3. Press the ofo REC/REC MUTE button.
® After 4 seconds, the deck enters the rec-pause mode. Press
the » PLAY button to start recording.
Note:
When making a recording, if you change the recording mode
(48k, 44k, 32k or 32k-LP) in the middle of a tape, be sure to
leave a no-signal section using the Record Mute function, etc.
before starting recording in the new mode.
Synchronized recording with the CD player
Preparation: Connect the connecting cord to the REMOTE
CONT. jack on the CD player beforehand.
1. Insert the cassette tape. Set the desired starting point of
the tape for recording.

e Non-recorded sections (blank) and no-signal recorded
sections
In DAT decks, a non-recorded section (blank section) refers
to that part of the tape which has not yet been used for
recording; this distinguishes it from a no-signal recorded
section, which has been used for recording but without a music
signal.
Digital recording

to the DIGITAL INPUT indicator and the COPY PHBT indicator.

2. Check the COPY PHBT indicator in the sampling monitor
mode.
In conventional compact cassette tapes, no-signal sections
are left between tunes, however, in DAT cassettes, the track
pattern is encoded and A TIME codes and other signals are
encoded continuously in the sub code area.
Note:
To make a non-recorded tape, adjust the INPUT LEVEL controls
to “MIN”, then start recording. The previously recorded signal
will be erased. New A TIME codes will be written to the tape.

Notes:
1. When you attempt to record a source the digital recording
of which is impossible, the deck enters the rec-pause mode
automatically, and the DIGITAL INPUT indicator blinks rapidly.
2. When digitally recording some CDs, depending on the CD
player used, sometimes the beginning of certain tunes will
be cut or noise recorded. This is because the digital input
signal is unstable and the DAT deck enters the rec-pause
mode automatically when the mode of the CD player is
changed. In this case, perform digital recording as follows:
(1) Set the DAT deck to the rec-pause mode.
(@ Locate the position slightly before that from which recording
should start. Now start the CD player.
(3) Press the » PLAY button of the DAT deck just before
the required tune.
