Additional Information
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.
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 frequeny of 32 kHz or 48 kHz. You can
then record the contents of this recorded DAT tape or MD
(first-generation) onto another DAT tap« 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.
