Guide to the Serial Copy Management System

…Rule 2

When an analog source such as an analog

disc or FM broadcast is digitally recorded

by using a DAT or MD, this recorded source

can be digitally recorded on another DAT or

MD. However, further digital copying is

prohibited.

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.

…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.
