MDs on Recording

Notes on RecordingAutomatic conversion of digital samplingrates 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 tapes or satellite broadcasts, as well as the CDs and MDs. Please note that 22.05- or 96-kHz digital sources can’t be recorded on this deck.

Guide to the Serial Copy ManagementSystem

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 program (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 program (for example, an analog record or a music cassette tape) or from a digital satellite broadcast program, 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 (OPTICAL) IN1 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.

Recording on an MD

The operations for normal recording are explained below. If the MD has recorded material on it, the deck will automatically start recording from the end of the recorded portion.
