The sound may drop-out while
searching the edited tracks
Tracks created through editing may exhibit sound
dropout during searching because high-speed
playback takes time to search for the position on the
disc when the tracks are scattered on the disc.
Track numbers cannot be marked
When “LEVELSYNC ON” (page 26) is displayed
during analog recording, the track numbers may not
be marked at the beginning of the track:
• if the input signal is below a certain fixed level for
less than two seconds
• if the input signal is below a certain fixed level for
more than two seconds in the middle of the track.
Guide to the Serial Copy
Management System
Digital audio components, such as CDs, MDs, and
DATs let you copy music easily with high quality,
for these digital products process music as a digital
signal.
To protect the copyrighted music programs, this
unit uses the Serial Copy Management System that
allows you to make only a single copy of a recorded
digital source through digital-to-digital
connections.
You can make only a first generation copy*
through a digital-to-digital connection.
For example:
1 You can make a copy of a commercially available
digital sound programme (e.g., a CD and an MD),
but you cannot make a second copy from the first-
generation copy.
2 You can make a copy of a digital signal from a
digitally recorded analog sound programme (e.g.,
an analog record and a music cassette tape) or
from a digital satellite broadcast programme, but
you cannot make a second copy.
* A first-generation copy means a digital recording
of a digital signal made on digital audio
equipment. For example, if you record from this
unit’s CD player to this MD deck, you’d make a
first-generation copy.
Notes
• This copy management system doesn’t apply
when you make a recording through analog-to-
analog connections.
• Since this unit supports 44.1 kHz sampling
frequency only, you cannot make a digital
recording of a digital satellite broadcast
programme, whose sampling frequency is 32 kHz
or 48 kHz. To make a digital recording, you need
an MD deck or a DAT deck that supports these
frequencies. You can also make a second-
generation copy.
