Recording On An Md - Sony MDS-PC3 M-crew Operating Instructions Manual

Notes on Recording (continued)
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)
IN 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.
