Commentary
An audio CS-PCM tuner that enables digital straight recording of audio CS-PCM broadcasts to MD.
It has a built-in sampling rate converter that converts 48 kHz or 32 kHz, which is the sampling frequency of audio CS-PCM broadcasting, to 44.1 kHz so that it can be recorded as MD.
The Viterbi compound IC enables stable reception.
It is also effective in signal attenuation due to small antennas and weather conditions, and improves the stability of audio CS-PCM broadcast reception.
1-bit DAC is used for D/A conversion part.
Equipped with an input level display function for confirming the signal level, which is convenient for antenna installation adjustment.
