Rules for recording digital input
The digital source connected to the MB-S1 is protected by copy
guard systems.
These limitations are intended for protecting the copyright and
restricting the behavior which violates the copyright.
SCMS (Guide to the serial copy management system)
This system is designed for permitting only one generation of digital-
to-digital copying (the recording of the original digital signals as they
are) between digital audio devices.
• The digital signals recorded on MD, DAT, CD-R, or CD-
RW from the digital output terminals on the MB-S1 cannot
be recorded on any other media digitally. Here are the
examples when performing digital recording in MD
recorder.
1. When the digital audio data from the MB-S1 is recorded as
analog input source on a MD using MD recorder, the digital
signal on the MD can be recorded digitally onto another MD.
2. When the digital audio data from the MB-S1 is recorded as
digital input source on a MD using MD recorder, the digital
signal on the MD cannot be recorded digitally onto another MD.
If you want to record the digital signal on the MD, perform
analog input recording.
Note:
For media or music performance including radio program, CD, record,
music tape, and original music cassette, music elements of lyrics and
melodies are equally protected by the copyright law. Therefore, to sell,
transfer, distribute, and lease those music media above, and use them
as BGM in public space such as stores are prohibited.

• The digital audio source recorded on a media such as CD,
MD or DAT can be connected directly to the digital input
terminals on the MB-S1.
However, if the input digital signal to the MB-S1 was
digitally recorded from the digital source, you can not
record this digital input signal. Also, you can not monitor
this digital input signal as a digital input source.
1. The digital audio signal on CD-R/RW recorded digitally from
the CD can not be copied to the MB-S1’s HDD. When you
record such digital signals, connect the signals to the analog
input terminals.
2. When the digital audio signal on CD was recorded from MD as
analog input source, you can record the audio signal on CD
digitally from digital input terminals on the MB-S1.
SDMI (Secure Digital Music Initiative) WM
The MB-S1 supports the data with the Water Mark which conforms
to the SDMI standards.
This water mark is designed for copy control, and some discs
contains the water mark can not be duplicated.
SDMI is a project for establishing formats which allows secure
music distribution and sales over Internet. The project is co-founded
by RIAA and five companies from U.S. music industry.
