Rules for digital recording
Guide to the serial copy management system
Since your MD unit uses the Serial Copy Management System
(SCMS), MDs recorded through the digital input terminal cannot
be used to make subsequent copies to other MDs through the
digital output terminal. The following diagram shows a system
for making copies through the digital or analog terminals.
Rule 1
You can record digital source (CD, prerecorded MD, and DAT
equipment with a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz) to a record-
able MD through the digital input terminal.
However, you cannot make subsequent copies from the record-
able MD to other recordable MDs through the digital output
terminal. Subsequent copies can only be made through analog
output terminal.
Rule 2
You can record the digital input signal of a digital satellite
broadcast onto a recordable MD via the digital input terminals on
MD recorder which is capable of handling a sampling frequency
of 32 kHz or 48 kHz. You can then record the contents of this
recorded MD (first-generation) onto another recordable MD via
digital input terminals on the MD recorder to create a second-
generation digital copy.
Note, however, that with some BS tuners, second-generation
digital copying may not be possible.
