Recording on MDs

The MD deck uses the SCMS (Serial Copy Management System on page 32)

MDsrecordedthroughdigitalinputconnectorcannotbe copiedontootherMDsorDATtapesthroughthedigital outputconnector.

When recording digital signals that have been emphasized (in the higher frequencies)

Thesignalisautomaticallyde-emphasized(withattenuation proportionaltothedegreeofemphasis)andthelevelofthe de-emphasizedsignalisindicatedonthepeaklevelmeters.

When the deck is recording or in recording pause, digital signals input through DIGITAL IN are output to DIGITAL OUT with the same sampling rate.

Tochangethedigitalinputsignaltoanothersamplingrate foroutput(withoutrecordingittoanMD),useInput MonitorFunction(seepage10).
