Serial Copy Management System (Scms) - Sony PCM-M1 Operating Instructions Manual

Serial Copy Management System (SCMS)

The Serial Copy Management System (SCMS) which is incorporated in the domestic
DAT equipments prevents repeated digital dubbing from one equipment to another.
However, this system lets you record at least one generation of digital prerecorded
software via digital connections.
Notes
• If the equipment used
for recording is not
protected with the
SCMS, these rules
may not apply.
* These source examples
may not apply to some
