Title: Playing D8 DATs in a D7
Post by: blu666z on June 25, 2003, 01:26:22 PM: I was going to do some transfer for a friend who runs a D8, but he told me the DATs wouldn't play in my D7. Is that true and if so, why?

He might be thinking of the SCMS problem when trying to clone a clone that was made to a consumer deck (master>clone is ok on two consumer decks, but clone>another clone won't work)...dunno though.

have a great weekend.

The D7 will record at 44.1k if fed an external 44.1k signal via the 7-pin. It will not record at 44.1k when fed an analog signal.

so that means that if I ran adc-20> d7 or UA 5>D7 i would be able to record at 44.1 Excellent.
