Guide to the serial copy
management system
Digital audio equipment such as CDs,
MDs, DATs, etc., copy music easily with
high quality, for these products process
music as a digital signal. The Serial
Copy Management System allows you
to make only a single copy of a recorded
digital source through digital-to-digital
connections because music programmes
may be copyrighted.
This system is applied to this player.
You can make only a first-
generation copy* through a
digital-to-digital connection.
That is :
1 You can make a copy of a digital
sound programme on the market such
as CDs, MDs, etc., 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
analog sound programme on the
market such as an analog record,
music cassette tape, etc., or from
digital satellite broadcasts, but you
cannot make a second copy.
Note
No restrictions apply when a digital signal is
recorded as an analog signal (that is, when a
digital signal is recorded through analog-to-
analog connection).
* A first-generation copy is a digital
recording of a digital signal made on
digital audio equipment through a digital-
to-digital connection.
During recording, "DIGITAL REC"
appears in the display on this player.
