Guide To The Serial Copy Management System - Sony DHC-EX880MD Operating Instructions Manual

The sound may drop-out while
searching the edited tracks
Tracks created through editing may exhibit sound
dropout during searching because high-speed
playback takes time to search for the position on the
disc when the tracks are scattered on the disc.
Track numbers cannot be marked
When "LevelSync ON" (page 52) is displayed
during analog recording, the track numbers may not
be marked at the beginning of the track:
• if the input signal is below a certain fixed level for
less than two seconds.
• if the input signal is below a certain fixed level for
more than two seconds in the middle of the track.
Guide to the Serial Copy
Management System
Digital audio components, such as CDs, MDs, and
DATs let you copy music easily with high quality,
for these digital products process music as a digital
signal.
To protect the copyrighted music programs, this
system uses the Serial Copy Management System
which allows you to make only a single copy of a
recorded digital source through digital-to-digital
connections.
You can make only a first generation copy*
through a digital-to-digital connection.
That is:
1 You can make a copy of a commercially available
digital sound program (e.g., a CD and an MD), but
you cannot make a second copy from the first-
generation copy.
2 You can make a copy of a digital signal from a
digitally recorded analog sound program (e.g., an
analog record and a music cassette tape) or from a
digital satellite broadcast program, but you cannot
make a second copy.
* A first-generation copy means a digital recording
of a digital signal made on digital audio
equipment. For example, if you record from this
system's CD player to this MD deck, you would
make a first-generation copy.
Notes
• This copy management system does not apply
when you make a recording through analog-to-
analog connections.
• This system's MD deck supports the 32 kHz or
48 kHz sampling frequency of the DAT deck or
digital satellite broadcast programs as well as the
44.1 kHz sampling rate of the MD deck. You can
make a second copy from a digital recording of a
satellite broadcast program.
• Some DVD software cannot be copied through
digital-to-digital connections.
