Guide to the serial copy
management system
You cannot use digital recording to create a second-
generation copy, a copy of a copy created through
digital recording, with a CD-R or CD-RW. This is
because the unit conforms to the Serial Copy
Management System and permits only one
generation of digital-to-digital copying (the
recording of the original digital signals as they are).
The Serial Copy Management System is based on the
following three rules.
Principle 1
Digital-to-digital copying can be used to create a
copy of a CompactDisc (CD), Digital Audio Tape
(DAT), MiniDisk (MD), etc. with a CD-R or CD-RW.
However, digital-to-digital copying is not allowed to
create a copy of a CD-R or CD-RW that has been
created through digital-to-digital copying.
Principle 2
Digital-to-digital copying can be used to create a
copy of a CD-R or CD-RW that contains the songs
from analog records, FM radio programs, etc. you
recorded using the unit. However, digital-to-digital
copying is not allowed to create a copy of a CD-R or
CD-RW that has been created through digital-to-
digital copying. When two CD recorders are
connected via the analog input and output
terminals, however, recording can be performed
beyond this restriction.
Principle 3
With a DAT deck or a CD recorder that supports the
sampling frequencies of 32 kHz and 48 kHz, digital-
to-digital copying can be used to record the digital
sound from satellite broadcast. (This CD recorder
supports these sampling frequencies.) In this case,
digital-to-digital copying is allowed to create a
second-generation copy. However, with some BS
tuners, second-generation copy may not be
produced.
* When CD recorders are connected using analog
terminals, the number of dubbings is not
limited.
