SCMS Copy Protection
As a digital audio component, this MD recorder conforms
with the Serial Copy Management System (SCMS)
standards. However, this function can be turned off using
the “SCMS” system preset. The Serial Copy Management
System restricts copies made by recording digital signals
to first-generation copies only. Therefore, an MD recorded
through a digital input cannot be used as a source for
making another digital recording.
However, subsequent recordings can be made from the
first-generation copy by using the analog input/output
jacks.
There are three general rules that apply to this unit.
Rule 1
You can record from digital program sources (CDs, DATs
or pre-mastered MDs) onto a DAT tape or recordable MD
via the digital input jack on a DAT or MD recorder. You
cannot, however, record from this recorded DAT tape or
MD to another DAT tape or recordable MD via a digital
input jack.
