Monitoring a
source

When recording, or in record-pause mode,
the source signal is always available for
monitoring through a connected amplifier
or through a pair of headphones plugged
into the PDR–609’s phones jack. Even if
you’re not recording, you can still
monitor—useful for cueing up for the
next recording and also for checking that
tracks are starting in the proper places
during automatic track numbering.

Checking for digital
copy protection

Using the

MONITOR

button, you can also

check whether or not a digital source is
copy-protected with SCMS (Serial Copy
Management System). SCMS allows you to
make digital copies of original sources for
your own use, but prevents further digital
copies being made from the copy (see page
27 for more on SCMS).

1

Start playing the digital source.
Make sure that the input selector is set to
the correct digital input.

2

Press MONITOR.
The display shows

if the

source is digital-copy protected.

• Press

again to switch

monitoring off.
