Guide to the Serial Copy
Management System
This MD deck uses the Serial Copy Management
System, which allows only first-generation digital
copies to be made of premastered software via the
deck's digital input jack. An outline of this system
appears below:
1
You can record from digital program sources (CDs, DATs
or premastered MDs) onto a DAT tape or recordable MD
via digital input jack on the DAT or MD deck,
You cannot, however, record from this recorded DAT tape
or MD onto another DAT tape or recordable MD via the
digital input jack on the DAT or MD deck.
Additional Information
2
You can record the digital input signal of a digital satellite
broadcast onto a DAT tape or recordable MD via the
digital input jack on the DAT or MD deck which is capable
of handling a sampling fregueny of 32 kHz or 48 kHz.
You can then record the contents of this recorded DAT
tape or MD (first-generation) onto another DAT tape or
recordable MD via digital input jack on the DAT or MD
deck to create a second-generation digital copy.
Subsequent recording from the second-generation copy
onto another recordable DAT tape or MD is possible only
through the analog input jack on the DAT or MD deck.
‘ Note, however, that on some BS tuners, second-generation
digital copying may not be possible.
