VHS (and betamax) have a spec that allows the CD standard to be recorded digitally onto them directly. Its exactly perfect to allow 44100 samples/second at 16 bit (although the original CD standard was 14 bit and the two spare bits were used for error checking on the tapes). In fact, this was one of the main considerations when it was all being designed to allow people to get masters to the CD press perfectly!

We have two Sony PCM encoders which feed two standard VCRs in order to comply with the Wireless Telegraphy Act
