I have a rather specific tech question to ask the net.
Does anyone know how strictly Sony's DAT machines adhere to the
AES/EBU (American Engineering Society/European B.U. something)
standards when receiving AES digitally encoded data?
I want to design a computer interface that will send the DAT machine
AES/EBU formatted digital audio. I would like to avoid generating the
"status block" codes that are embedded in the audio information, but
I am unsure whether they really can be omitted.
Is there a Sony technical info phoneline? I've heard they have a
consumer hotline, could someone tell me what either of these
numbers are? Thanks to all.

However, I don't believe any of the Sony DATs have either a digital input or output. I know that the Sony TCD-010 does not (a portable unit). Another source for DAT info (at the very least, price and availability info) is: The DAT Store Santa Monica, CA (213) 828-6487 Good luck. -- Dave Pascoe KM3T/1 Internet:pascoe%vax2@gte.com UUCP: {harvard,bu-cs}!ulowell!cloud9!jjmhome!km3t If you make someone think they thought, they'll love you.
