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

There are 2 rules as Iolluws:

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":

•"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.

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.
