– 21 – ENGLISH Guide to the Serial Copy Management System …Rule 2 When an analog source such as an analog disc or FM broadcast is digitally recorded by using a DAT or MD, this recorded source can be digitally recorded on another DAT or MD. However, further digital copying is prohibited. This MD deck is in compliance with the Serial Copy Management System standard. This standard has been elaborated to restrict digital-to-digital copying to only the first generation. The basic rules governing this system are as described in the following. …Rule 1 A digital recording is possible from a digital source such as a CD, DAT or pre-mastered MD onto a DAT or recordable MD through a digital input connection. However, further digital-to-digital recording is prohibited for the second generation and later.Serial Copy Management System Play- ingCD playerDAT deckMD deck Record- ingDAT deckMD deckor Record- ingDAT deckMD deckor Play- ingDAT deckMD deckor Optical cable or coaxial digital connecting cable Optical cable or coaxial digital connecting cableDigital output jack Digital output jackLine (analog) output jacks Audio connec- ting cord Line (analog) input jacks Digital input jack Digital input jack √ √ First-generation DAT tape or MD recorded via digital-to-digital connectionDAT or MDOptical cable or coaxial digital connecting cable Optical cable or coaxial digital connecting cableFirst-generation DAT tape or MD recorded via digital-to-digital connection Record- ingDAT deckMD deckor Record- ingDAT deckMD deckor Play- ingDAT deckMD deckorDigital output jack Digital output jackLine (analog) output jacks Audio connec- ting cord Line (analog) input jacks Digital input jack Digital input jack √ √ PlayingTuner TurntableCassette deckMicrophone amplifier CD playerDAT deckMD deck Record- ingDAT deckMD deckor Play- ingDAT deckMD deckorLine (analog) output jacks Audio connecting cord Line (analog) input jacks √ √ DAT tape or MD recorded via analog-to-digital connection DAT or MD DAT or MD …Rule 3 A DAT deck or an MD deck which is compatible with 32 kHz and 48 kHz sampling frequencies can record the digital audio of satellite broadcasting digitally (digital-to- digital).
