SCMS copy protection

As a digital audio component, this CD recorder conforms with the Serial Copy Management System (SCMS) standards. The Serial Copy Management System restricts copies made by recording digital signals to first generation copies only. Therefore, a CD disc recorded using a DIGITAL IN jack cannot be used as a source for making another digital recording. However, subsequent recordings can be made from the first generation copy by using the ANALOG jacks.

There are three general rules that apply to this unit.

Rule 1

You can record digital program sources onto a recordable CD disc using a DIGITAL IN jack to create a first generation digital copy. You cannot, however, record from this recorded CD disc to another recordable CD disc using a DIGITAL IN jack.

Rule 2

You can record a digital signal input from a digital satellite broadcast onto a recordable CD disc using a DIGITAL IN jack. If the broadcast does not contain a copyright protection code, you can then record the contents of this recorded CD disc (first generation) onto other digital recording media to create a second generation digital copy (these copies may also be copied digitally). Note, however, that if the broadcast contains a copyright protection code, second generation digital copying will not be possible.

Rule 3

A CD disc that was recorded using the ANALOG jacks can be recorded onto other digital recording media using a DIGITAL OUT jack to create a first generation digital copy. You cannot, however, make a second generation copy using a DIGITAL OUT jack.
