Automatic conversion of digital sampling
rates during recording
A built-in sampling rate conx erter automatically converts
the sampling frequencx' of x arious digital sources to the
44.1 kHz sampling rate of the MD deck. This alloxx's you
to monitor and record sources such as 32- or 48-kHz DAT
tape or satellite broadcasts, as well as the CDs and MDs.
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 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.
The operations for normal recording are explained below.
If the MD has recorded material on it, the deck will
automatically start recording from the end of the recorded
portion.
