z What is the H.A.T.S. function?
The H.A.T.S. (High-quality digital Audio Transmission
System) function on the receiver causes digital audio signals
output from an MD deck or the recording source (e.g., a CD
player) to be momentarily stored in a buffer in the receiver
prior to output. This reduces jitter that sometimes occurs
during digital audio transmission.
