2.If you have connected a digital recorder by a digital connection, make settings on your digital recorder so that it will record from its digital input. Also, set the sam- ple rate of the recorder to match the sample rate at which the song was recorded (44.1 kHz). Many digital recorders automatically sense the sample rate of the recording source, so that it is unnecessary to make this setting manually.
*Some DAT recorders are not able to record a digital signal at a sample rate of 44.1 kHz. In this case, use analog con- nections instead, and set the digital recorder to record from its analog input.
*If you do not know the songÕs sample rate and recording mode, Hold down [SHIFT] and press [SONG].

■About SCMS
ÒSCMSÓ stands for ÒSerial Copy Management System.Ó This is a function that protects the rights of copyright hold- ers by prohibiting recording via a digital connection for more than two generations. When digital connections are made between digital recorders that implement this func- tion, SCMS data will be recorded along with the audio data. Digital audio data which contains this SCMS data cannot again be recorded via a digital connection.
■Connecting digital devices
Use a RCA phono type coaxial cable to connect the DIGI- TAL IN connector of the
■Matching the sampling fre-
quency
In order to record a digital audio signal, the sample rate of the song must be set to match the sample rate of the input source. The song created when a disk drive is initialized will have a sample rate of 44.1 kHz. If the sample rate of the input source is other than 44.1 kHz, create a new song with that sample rate (p.62).
