Guide to the Serial Copy
Management System
Digital audio components, such as CDs, MDs,
and DATs let you copy music easily with high
quality by processing music as a digital signal.
To protect the copyrighted music programs, a
system uses the Serial Copy Management
System that allows you to make only a single
copy of a digitally recorded source through
digital-to-digital connections.
You can make only a first generation
copy* through a digital-to-digital
connection.
For example:
1 You can make a copy of a commercially
available digital sound programme (for
example, a CD), but you cannot make a
second copy from the first-generation copy.
2 You can make a copy of a digital signal from
a digitally recorded analogue sound
programme (for example, an analogue
record or a music cassette tape) or from a
digital satellite broadcast programme, but
you cannot make a second copy.
* A first-generation copy means a digital recording of
a digital signal made on digital audio equipment. For
example, if you record from this system’s DVD
player to the connected optional MD deck, you make
a first-generation copy.
