Guide to the serial copy management system

Digital audio equipment such as CDs, MDs, DATs, etc., copy music easily with high quality, for these products process music as a digital signal. The Serial Copy Management System allows you to make only a single copy of a recorded digital source through digital-to-digital connections because music programmes may be copyrighted.

This system is applied to this player.

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

That is :

1You can make a copy of a digital sound programme on the market such as CDs, MDs, etc., but you cannot make a second copy from the first- generation copy.

2You can make a copy of a digital signal from a digitally-recorded analog sound programme on the market such as an analog record, music cassette tape, etc., or from digital satellite broadcasts, but you cannot make a second copy.

Note

No restrictions apply when a digital signal is recorded as an analog signal (that is, when a digital signal is recorded throgh analog-to- analog connection.)

*A first-generation copy is a digital recording of a digital signal made on digital audio equipment through a digital- to-digital connection.

During recording, “DIGITAL REC” appears in the display on this player.
