Guide To The Serial Copy Management System - Sony MXD-D1 Mode D'emploi

Additional Information
Guide to the Serial Copy
Management System
An MD recorded with digital input cannot be used to
make another recording with digital input. As a digital
audio component, this MD deck conforms with the
Serial Copy Management System standards. The Serial
Copy Management System restricts copies made by
recording digital signal to first-generation copies only.
However, subsequent recording from the second-
generation copy onto another recordable DAT tape or
MD is possible only through the analog input jack on
the DAT or MD deck.
There are three general rules that apply to this unit.
Rule 1
You can record from digital sound sources (CDs, DATs or
premastered MDs) onto a DAT tape or recordable MD via
digital input jack on the DAT or MD deck. You cannot,
however, record from this recorded DAT tape or MD onto
another DAT tape or recordable MD via the digital input
jack on the DAT or MD deck.

Rule 2
You can record the digital input signal of a digital satellite
broadcast onto a DAT tape or recordable MD via the digital
input jack on the DAT or MD deck which is capable of
handling a sampling frequency of 32 kHz or 48 kHz. (This
unit supports 44.1 kHz only.) You can then record the
contents of this recorded DAT tape or MD (first-generation)
onto another DAT tape or recordable MD via digital input
jack on the DAT or MD deck to create a second-generation
digital copy. Note, however, that on some BS tuners,
second-generation digital copying may not be possible.
