transferred. Sony had a model "F1" that used a video transport to  
record a video signal of the audio. It was very high quality at the  
time, almost as good as CD.

		I add:

	As I recall it was 14-bit, so yes it was ALMOST as good as CD.  Not  
that it matters much.
	I always wanted one of those.  Instead, I got a portable DAT  
recorder, which I still have.
