RULES OF DIGITAL RECORDING AND NOTES ON SYSTEM

■Rules of digital recording

SCMS (Serial Copy Management System)

As a digital audio component, this unit conforms with the Serial Copy Management System (SCMS) standards. The Serial Copy Management System restricts copies made by recording digital signals to first-generation copies only.

The digital program sources that have been recorded cannot be digitally recorded again.

There are 2 rules as follows:

Rule 1

Digital sources such as commercially available CDs can be copied digitally onto other recordable digital media with this unit (a first- generation digital copy). However, the first-generation digital copy cannot be copied digitally any further.

Rule 2

The source that was recorded via the ANALOG LINE IN (REC) jacks can be copied digitally onto other recordable digital media (a first-generation digital copy). However, the first-generation digital copy cannot be copied digitally any further.

This unit monitors the SCMS status for each track when a digital recording is made. If the track is protected from digital recording and copying, it is not possible to make a digital recording and copy of that track.

The SCMS standard does not apply to analog recording and copying.

When making a copy from a CD onto the HDD, or from the HDD onto a CD-R or CD-RW disc, any of the copy methods described below can be selected. The following selections are contained in “Copy Method”.

•“Auto Dig/Anlg”:

Automatically switches to analog recording if the track cannot be digitally recorded for SCMS.

•“Digital Copy”:

Performs digital copying of only those tracks that can be digitally copied.

•“Digital Move”:

Performs digital copying of the tracks that cannot be digitally copied by “Digital Copy” when copying from the HDD onto a CD-R or CD-RW disc.

•“Analog Copy”:

Performs analog copying regardless of the SCMS standard.

Digital Move

This unit has a built-in HDD with large space that makes a long recording possible. You can create your own CD by editing the various program sources that have been recorded onto the HDD of this unit and copying them onto a CD-R or CD-RW disc.

If you want to make a digital copy of the original data that has been created on the HDD to a CD-R or CD-RW disc, the “Digital Move” method is convenient. You can make a digital copy from the HDD onto a CD-R or CD-RW disc even if the track is protected from making a second-generation copy by the SCMS standard.

However, since the concept of “Digital Move” is that the data is moved from the HDD onto a CD-R or CD-RW disc, the original data on the HDD is erased when moving is complete.

■Notes on system

Number and length of recordable discs and tracks

•One CD-R or CD-RW disc, or one disc on the HDD can be recorded with up to 99 tracks on them.

•Once 99 tracks have been recorded, no further recording is possible even if space for recording is available on the disc.

•The minimum length of one track must be 4 seconds. If a recording is stopped while the track is less than 4 seconds long, this unit will record for 4 seconds, and then stop recording. The maximum length of one track is 179 minutes 59 seconds for the HDD.

•999 discs can be created at maximum on the HDD of this unit. However, the number of discs that can be created is limited according to the space availability (total recordable time) on the HDD.

•The maximum length of one disc on the HDD is 99 minutes 59 seconds. However, since each track on the HDD is handled in the unit of frame (75 frames are equal to one second), the maximum length of one track or disc may vary slightly.

•When recording on a CD-R or CD-RW disc, 2-second silence will be automatically added to the beginning of the first track. Therefore the actual total recordable time will be 2 seconds shorter than the total recordable time of a CD-R or CD-RW disc.

Source sampling rate conversion

•Digital input of this unit supports sampling frequencies of 32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, and 96kHz. This unit converts these inputs to the 44.1kHz,16-bit digital signals and records them onto the HDD, or a CD-R or CD-RW disc.

•Analog input is also converted to the same digital signal to be recorded.

•This unit outputs the signals at the sampling frequency of 44.1kHz, 16-bit from its digital output.

Recording of non-audio signals

•This unit is designed exclusively for recording audio signals. Recording is only possible for audio signals.

•When a CD with CD TEXT is copied onto the HDD, CD TEXT will be automatically copied if it is not copy protected. When a CD with CD TEXT is recorded from an external CD player, CD TEXT cannot be copied even if it is not copy protected. To copy CD TEXT, use the built-in CDR drive of this unit.

•If the digital signals contain graphic data such as CD graphics, the non-audio signals will not be recorded.

•It is not possible to record from non-audio sources such as CD- ROM or DVD.

Data processing

•A small amount of space may be used for data processing besides recording the actual program sources.

•Although this unit is capable of recording 999 albums at maximum onto the HDD, the data processing speed may slow down if a large number of albums is created.
