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 subsequent copies to
other MDs through the digital output jack. The following diagram shows a system for
making copies through the digital or analog terminals.
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 subsequent copies from the
recordable MD to other recordable MDs through the digital
output jack. Subsequent copies can only be made through
analog output jack.
