Recording on an MD, 15GB, Rates during recording

Automatic conversion of digital sampling

rates during recording

A built-in sampling rate converter automatically converts the sampling frequency of various digital sources to the

44.1kHz sampling rate of the MD deck. This allows you to monitor and record sources such as 32- or 48-kHz DAT tape or satellite broadcasts, as well as the CDs and MDs.

Guide to the Serial Copy Management

System

Digital audio components, such as CDs, MDs, and DATs make it easy to produce high-quality copies of music by processing music as a digital signal.

To protect copyrighted music sources, this deck uses the Serial Copy Management System which allows you to make only a single copy of a digitally recorded source through digital-to-digital connections.

You can make only a first-generation copy* through a digital-to-digital connection.

Examples are given as follows:

•You can make a copy of a commercially available digital sound programme (for example, a CD or MD), but you can’t make a second copy from the first-generation copy.

•You can make a copy of a digital signal from a digitally recorded analog sound programme (for example, an analog record or a music cassette tape) or from a digital satellite broadcast programme, but you can’t make a second copy from the first-generation copy.

*A first-generation copy means the first recording of a digital audio source through the deck’s digital input connector. For example, if you

record from a CD player connected to the DIGITAL IN connector, that copy is a first-generation copy.

Note

The restrictions of the Serial Copy Management System don’t apply when you make a recording through the analog-to-analog connections.
