JVC XL-R5000BK manual Restriction on Copying Digital Material, Scms Serial Copy Management System

Restriction on Copying Digital Material

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

SCMS (Serial Copy

Management System)

The digital quality of CDs and other digital media can be recorded to CD-R and CD-RW using the CDR function of this unit. How- ever, it is not possible to make a second generation digital copy from a first generation copy. This restriction, known as SCMS (Serial Copy Management System), is intended to prevent unlim- ited digital copying in the interests of artists and other copyright holders.

This unit is designed to comply with SCMS restrictions.

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

Note

•If digital recording of a first generation digital copy is attempted, “SCMS PROTECT” appears in the display window, and the recording operation is canceled.

•In the case of Synchronized Recording, Listening Edit Record- ing and Program Edit Recording, when the first generation copy is a finalized CD-R or CD-RW loaded in the 3-CD changer, the recording type is automatically changed from digital to analog, and the recording type indicators light accordingly. (If high speed dubbing was turned on, it will be turned off when the recording type is changed.)
