Recording On An Md - Sony MDS-PC2 Operating Instructions Manual

Notes on Recording
Automatic conversion of digital sampling
rates during recording
A built-in sampling rate converter automatically converts
the sampling frequency of various digital sources to the
44.1 kHz sampling rate of the MD deck. This allows you
to monitor and record sources such as 32- or 48-kHz DAT
tapes or satellite broadcasts, as well as the CDs and MDs.
Please note that 22.05- or 96-kHz digital sources can't be
recorded on this deck.
Guide to the Serial Copy Management
System
Digital audio components, such as CDs, MDs, and DATs
make it easy to produce high-quality copies of music by
processing music as a digital signal.
To protect copyrighted music sources, this deck uses the
Serial Copy Management System which allows you to
make only a single copy of a digitally recorded source
through digital-to-digital connections.
You can make only a first-generation copy
through a digital-to-digital connection.
Examples are given as follows:
• You can make a copy of a commercially available digital
sound program (for example, a CD or MD), but you
can't make a second copy from the first-generation
copy.
• You can make a copy of a digital signal from a digitally
recorded analog sound program (for example, an
analog record or a music cassette tape) or from a digital
satellite broadcast program, but you can't make a
second copy from the first-generation copy.
A first-generation copy means the first recording of a digital audio
*
source through the deck's digital input connector. For example, if you
record from a CD player connected to the DIGITAL (OPTICAL) IN1
connector, that copy is a first-generation copy.
Note
The restrictions of the Serial Copy Management System don't
apply when you make a recording through the analog-to-analog
connections.
