		I reply:

	I also don't recall any quad VTR with digital audio capability.   
Certainly not digital audio in addition to the analog video.  More  
than likely, it was what you suggest:  The Sony 14-bit PCM system that  
converted digital audio into a psuedo-video signal which enabled ANY  
VTR to record digital audio.  Of course, using this system would  
preclude the capability of recording regular video along with the  
digital audio, but hey, it's two channels of DIGITAL audio!
	There WAS a 1-inch Type-C Sony VTR (BVH-2800) that could record  
digital audio along with the analog video.  Also, Sony made a BetaCam  
SP deck with digital audio.  I think it was named the BVW-D75.
