Guide to the Serial Copy Management System
Since your MD unit uses the Serial Copy Management System (SCMS), MDs
recorded through the digital input jack cannot be used to make copies to other MDs
through the digital output jack. The diagrams on this and the following pages show
systems for making copies through the digital or analog jacks.
1 You can record digital sources (CD, prerecorded MD,
and DAT equipment with a sampling frequency of
44.1 kHz) to a recordable MD through the
digital input jack.

However, you cannot make copies of the recorded MD to
other recordable MDs through the digital output jack.
Subsequent copies can only be made through analog output
