Additional Information
Tracks created by editing may exhibit sound
dropouts as you’re searching for a point while
monitoring the sound.
Some tracks cannot be combined with others
Tracks may not be combined if they have been edited.
Track numbers are not marked correctly
Incorrect assignment or marking of track numbers may
result when CD tracks are divided into several smaller
tracks during digital recording. Depending on the material
recorded, when “Track Mark” of the Setup Menu was set
to “Level Sync” and the track number automatically
assigned during recording, the track number may not have
been accurately assigned.
“TOC Reading” appears for a long time
If the inserted recordable MD is brand new, “TOC
Reading” will appear in the display for a longer period
than for already-used MDs.
The correct recorded/playing time may not be
displayed during playback of MDs recorded in
monaural mode.
Guide to the serial Copy Management
System
Digital audio components, such as CDs, MDs, and DATs,
make it easy to produce high-quality copies of music by
processing music as a digital signal.
To protect copyrighted music sources, this recorder uses
the Serial Copy Management System, which 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
1)
through a digital-to-digital connection.
Examples are as follows:
• You can make a copy of a commercially available digital
sound program (for example, a CD or MD), but you
cannot make a second copy from the first-generation
copy.
• You can make a copy of a digital signal from a digitally
recorded analog sound program (for example, an analog
record or a music cassette tape) or from a digital satellite
broadcast program, but you cannot make a secons copy
from the first-generation copy.
1) A first-genaration copy means the first recording of a digital audio
source through the recorder’s digital input connector. For example, if
you record from a CD player connected to the DIGITAL IN
connector, that copy is a first-generation copy.
Notes
The restrictions of the Serial Copy Management System do not
apply when you make a recording through the analog-to analog
connections.
