Rules of digital recording

SCMS (Serial Copy Management System)

As u digital umlio componmlt, this unit conlorms with tile Serial Copy Management Systmn (SCMS) standards. The Serial Copy Mauagelnent Systmn 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 Iolluws:

Rule 1

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

Rule 2

Tile source that was recorded via the ANALOG LINE IN (RE(') jacks carl be copied digitally onto other recordable digital media (a first-generatiuu digital copy). However, the first-generation digital copy cannot be copied digitally any fimher.

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 cupy 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 Methud".

"Auto Dig/Aulg':

Automatically switches to analog recording if the track cannot be digitally recorded ti/r SCMS.

"Digital Cupy":

Perlorms digital copying uf only those tracks that can be digitally cupied.

"Digital Move":

Performs digital copying uf the tracks that cannot be digitally copied by "Digital Copy" when copying from the HDD onto a CD-R or CD-RWdisc.

"Analog Copy":

Performs analog copying regardless of the SCMS standard.

Digital Move

This unit has u built-in HDD with large space that makes u hmg 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 cupy of the original data that has beml created on the HDD tu a CD-R or CD-RW disc, the "Digital Move" method is convmlient. You carl make a digital copy from the HDD onto a CD-R or CD-RW disc evml if the track is protected from making a secuud-gmmration 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 un the HDD is erased when moving is complete.

Notes on system

Number and length of recordable discs and

tracks

One CD-R ur 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, uu flmher 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 stupped while the track is less than 4 seconds hmg, this unit will record for 4 seconds, and then stup recording. The maximum length of one track is 179 minutes 59 seconds lor the HDD.

999 discs carl be created at maximum uu the HDD of this unit. However, the number of discs that can be created is limited according to the space availability (tutal recordable tinle) on the HDD.

The maximunl lmlgth uf one disc on the HDD is 99 minutes 59 seconds. However. since each track on the HDD is handled in the unit of flame (75 flames are equal to one second), the maximum length uf one track ur disc may vary slightly.

When recording on a CD-R or CD-RWdisc, 2-second silence will be automatically added tu the beginning uf the first track. Therelore 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 ul 32kHz,

44.I kHz. 48kHz, and 96kHz. This unit converts these inputs tu the 44. lkHz, l&bit digital signals and records them onto the HDD, or a CD-R ur CD-RW disc.

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

This unit uutputs the signals at the sampling I)'equency of

44.IkHz, 16-bit from its digital uutput.

Recording of non-audio signals

This unit is designed exclusively lot recoMing 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. Whml a CD with CD TEXT is mcurded 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 he recurded.

It is not possible to record from non-audio sources such as CD- ROM ur 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 uf recuMing 999 albums at maximum onto the HDD, the data processing speed may slow down if a large number of albums is created.
