COPY PROTECTION (SCMS)

As a digital audio component, this MD 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, an MD recorded through a digital input 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 input/output jacks.

There are three general rules that apply to this unit.

Rule 1

You can record from digital program sources (CDs, DATs or pre-mastered MDs) onto a DAT tape or recordable MD via the digital input jack on a DAT or MD recorder. You cannot, however, record from this recorded DAT tape or MD to another DAT tape or recordable MD via a digital input jack.

Rule 2

You can record a digital signal input from a digital satellite broadcast onto a DAT tape or recordable MD via the digital input jack on the DAT or MD recorder. (This unit is equipped with a sampling rate converter that allows you to make digital recordings from 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz digital program sources).

If the broadcast does not contain a copyright protection code, you can then record the contents of this recorded DAT tape or MD (first-generation) onto another DAT tape or recordable MD via a digital input jack on the DAT or MD recorder to create a second generation digital copy (these copies may also be copied digitally). Note, however, that if the broadcast contains a copy protection code, second- generation digital copying will not be possible.

Rule 3

You can record a DAT tape or MD recorded via the DAT or MD recorder’s analog input jack onto another DAT tape or MD via the DAT or MD recorder’s digital output jack. You cannot, however, make a second-generation DAT tape or MD copy via the DAT or MD recorder’s digital output jack.

NOTES REGARDING THE

REMOTE CONTROL

Remote Control Operation Range

6 m

30° 30°

Notes

•There should be no large obstacles between the remote control and the remote sensor on the main unit.

•Strong light (especially from an inverter type fluorescent lamp) shining directly on the remote sensor may prevent proper operation. In such cases, reposition the main unit to avoid direct light.

Battery Installation

Battery replacement

When you notice a decrease in the operating range of the remote control, replace both batteries with new ones.

Notes

•Use only AA, R6, UM-3 batteries for replacement.

•Be sure to insert the batteries with correct polarity (as illustrated on the battery compartment).

•Remove the batteries if the remote control will not be used for an extended period of time.

•If batteries leak, dispose of them immediately. Avoid touching the leaking material or letting it come into contact with clothing, etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly before installing new batteries.
