Guide to the serial copy management system
You cannot use digital recording to create a second- generation copy, a copy of a copy created through digital recording, with a CD-R or CD-RW. This is because the unit conforms to the Serial Copy Management System and permits only one generation of digital-to-digital copying (the recording of the original digital signals as they are). The Serial Copy Management System is based on the following three rules.
Principle 1
Digital-to-digital copying can be used to create a copy of a CompactDisc (CD), Digital Audio Tape (DAT), MiniDisk (MD), etc. with a CD-R or CD-RW. However, digital-to-digital copying is not allowed to create a copy of a CD-R or CD-RW that has been created through digital-to-digital copying.
Principle 2
Digital-to-digital copying can be used to create a copy of a CD-R or CD-RW that contains the songs from analog records, FM radio programs, etc. you recorded using the unit. However, digital-to-digital copying is not allowed to create a copy of a CD-R or CD-RW that has been created through digital-to- digital copying. When two CD recorders are connected via the analog input and output terminals, however, recording can be performed beyond this restriction.
Principle 3
With a DAT deck or a CD recorder that supports the sampling frequencies of 32 kHz and 48 kHz, digital- to-digital copying can be used to record the digital sound from satellite broadcast. (This CD recorder supports these sampling frequencies.) In this case, digital-to-digital copying is allowed to create a second-generation copy. However, with some BS tuners, second-generation copy may not be produced.
*When CD recorders are connected using analog terminals, the number of dubbings is not limited.
