Serial Copy Management
System
This MD deck is in compliance with the
Serial Copy Management System standard.
This standard has been elaborated to
restrict digital-to-digital copying to only the
first generation. The basic rules governing
this system are as described in the
following.
... Rule 1
A digital recording is possible from a digital
source such as a CD, DAT or pre-mastered
MD onto a DAT or recordable MD through
a digital input connection. However,
further digital-to-digital recording is
prohibited for the second generation and
later.

by using a DAT or MD, this recorded
source can be digitally recorded on
another DAT or MD. However, further
digital copying is prohibited.

... Rule 3
A DAT deck or an MD deck which is
compatible with 32 kHz and 48 kHz
sampling frequencies can record the
digital audio of satellite broadcasting
digitally (digital-to-digital). A first-
generation DAT or MD recorded in this
way can be recorded again on another
DAT or MD digitally (digital-to-digital).
However, the second-generation DAT or
MD may not be recordable with certain BS
tuner models.
