The sound may drop-out while searching the edited tracks

Tracks created through editing may exhibit sound dropout during searching because high- speed playback requires time to search for the position on the disc when the tracks are not in order.

Guide to the Serial Copy

Management System

Digital audio components, such as CDs, MDs, and DATs let you copy music easily with high quality by processing music as a digital signal. To protect the copyrighted music programs, this system uses the Serial Copy Management System that 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.

For example:

1 You can make a copy of a commercially available digital sound program (for example, a CD or MD), but you cannot make a second copy from the first-generation copy.

2 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 cannot make a second copy.

*A first-generation copy means a digital recording of a digital signal made on digital audio equipment. For example, if you record from this system’s CD player to the MD deck, you make a first-generation copy.

Note

This copy management system does not apply when you make a recording through analog-to- analog connections.
