Guide To The Serial Copy Management System - Sony MJ-L1 MJ-L1A Operating Instructions Manual

Guide to the Serial
Copy Management
System
An MD recorded through a 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 signals to first-generation copies
only.
However, subsequent recording from the
first-generation copy onto another
recordable DAT tape or MD is possible
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 programme
sources (CDs, DATs or premastered MDs)
onto a DAT tape or recordable MD via the
digital input jack on a DAT or MD deck.
You cannot, however, record from this
recorded DAT tape or MD onto another
DAT tape or recordable MD via a digital
input jack on the DAT or MD deck.

Rule 2
You can record a digital signal input from 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.
