Notes on CD and the internal hard disk drive Notes on discs ■ Cautions for disc storage ■ Notes on playing discs Do not store discs in locations exposed to direct sunlight, near heat emitting devices, and other locations of excessive heat, or locations of extremely low temperatures. Also, always store discs properly in their protective cases. Use the discs compatible with IEC standards such as the CD with the logo (right) printed on it. You can also use the CD-ROM containing MP3 audio data.
Rules for recording digital input The digital source connected to the MB-S1 is protected by copy guard systems. These limitations are intended for protecting the copyright and restricting the behavior which violates the copyright. SCMS (Guide to the serial copy management system) This system is designed for permitting only one generation of digitalto-digital copying (the recording of the original digital signals as they are) between digital audio devices.
