Rules for digital recording

Guide to the serial copy management system

Since your MD unit uses the Serial Copy Management System (SCMS), MDs recorded through the digital input terminal cannot be used to make subsequent copies to other MDs through the digital output terminal. The following diagram shows a system for making copies through the digital or analog terminals.

Rule 1

You can record digital source (CD, premastered MD, and DAT equipment with a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz) to a recordable MD through the digital input terminal.

However, you cannot make subsequent copies from the recordable MD to other recordable MDs through the digital output terminal. Subsequent copies can only be made through analog output terminal.

Rule 2

You can record the digital input signal of a digital satellite broadcast onto a recordable MD via the digital input terminals on MD recorder which is capable of handling a sampling frequency of 32 kHz or 48 kHz. You can then record the contents of this recorded MD (first-generation) onto another recordable MD via digital input terminals on the MD recorder to create a second-generation digital copy.

Note, however, that with some BS tuners, second- generation digital copying may not be possible.

Rule 3

A recordable MD with material recorded from analog sources (analog records or FM programs, etc.) through the line input terminal can be copied to another recordable MD through the digital output terminal.

However, you cannot make subsequent copies from the recordable MD to other recordable MDs through the digital output terminal. Subsequent copies can only be made through analog output terminal.

*When MD recorders are connected using analog terminals, the number of dubbings is not limited.
