Restrictions Imposed by MDs (Minidiscs)

MDs use their own system to record information which is different from conventional cassette tapes and DAT tapes. This system has a number of restrictions which sometimes give rise to the following symptoms. These symptoms do not, however, indicate that something is wrong with the product.

Restriction on Copying Digital Material

Due to copyright and other considerations, the following restriction is now in place for MDs onto which the digital signals of CDs have been copied.

SCMS (Serial Copy Management System)

MDs can digitally record the clear sound of CDs. However, it is now not possible to copy the digital signals of an MD recorded in this way onto another MD using another unit. In other words, copies of copies cannot be made. This restriction is known as SCMS (Serial Copy Management System).

This unit is designed to comply with this restriction.

OKNO

DIGITALDIGITAL

The copyright laws allow recordings to be made for the personal enjoyment of the individual user but they do not allow such recordings to be used for other any purposes without permission from the holder of the copyrights.

MDs on which CD sound has been recorded using this unit cannot be digitally copied by other units.
