SCMS

The SCMS (Serial Copy Management System) menu option determines how the SCMS copyright flag is set on the disc being recorded. There are three settings available for the SCMS flag, Prohibit Copy, Copy Once or Permit Copies.

With the SCMS set to Prohibit Copy, it will not be possible for any further digital copies of the disc to be made.

If the option is set to Copy Once, a digital copy of the disc can be made, but it will not be possible to make any further digital copies from that copy.

With Permit Copies set, there are no restrictions on making digital copies of the disc.

Note that it is not possible to change the SCMS setting while the CDR-882 is in RECORD mode. See page 48 for further information on SCMS.
