[序言] 数字录音机的英文编写为DAT。它是下一阶段磁带录音机的发展方向。1981年日本将小型激光唱机(CD)投放市场,由于其完美的音响效果而振动音响领域。然其有不能自行录音、复制和编辑的缺憾。续CD以后,日本研制出能录音的高保真DAT录音机,可以做到“以假乱真”的地步,以致引起版权界的非议。经过二年的“硬件界”和“软件界”的争议,日本商人于1987年年初终于将DAT抛向市场,并出口。 [Preface] Digital voice recorder written in English as DAT. It is the next stage tape recorder development. In 1981 Japan put a small CD player (CD) on the market, vibrating the sound field due to its perfect sound effect. However, it has its own lack of recording, copying and editing. After the CD was made, Japan could develop a high-fidelity DAT recorder capable of recording audio and video recording. This could lead to “confusion” and thus cause criticism from the copyright community. After two years of disputes between the “hardware community” and the “software community,” Japanese businessmen finally put DAT on the market and exported it in early 1987.
