DTR-2000 is
one of the first DAT (Digital Audio Tape)Recorder created for consumer users . By incorporating
the SCMS (Serial Copy Management System), it enables users to make as many
direct, first-generation digital dubs of CD's and other digital program sources
as they wish, while limiting the ability to make digital copies of copies.
It also
features an advanced version of Denon's 20-bit Super-Linear D/A
(digital-to-analog) converter, called the lambda SLC. The DTR-2000 comes with full-function remote
control and complements ita analog connectors with both optical and coaxial
digital inputs and outputs. While a number of manufactures have adopted one
form or another of 1-bit D/A conversion. Denon has chosen instead to remain
with the eight-times-oversampling, 20-bit Lambda SLC system, originally
developed for its top CD players.
The Lambda
enhancement is designed to minimize the zero-crossing distortion that is
characteristic of most multibit D/A converters. Non-linearity is reduced still
further by very careful factory adjustment of the converter's MSB (most-significant-bit) registers. At the
other end of the process, ahigh-speed analog-to-digital converter is used to
quantize analog input signals.
The
transport mechanism inside the deck is similar to that of a miniature VCR and
uses the same helical-scan principle. The high tape-to-head speed needed for
mutimegahertz frequency response, is achieved with a pair of heads mounted in a
rapidly rotating drum set at an angle to the longitudinal direction of the
tape.
