To prevent this, use Synchro-Recording. • This unit uses the Serial Copy Management System, which allows only first-generation digital copies to be made of premastered software via the unit's digital input. Therefore you may not be able to record a CD-R or CD-RW digitally through the DIGITAL OPTICAL IN or DIGITAL COAXIAL IN jack depending on the content being recorded. • Because of the restriction of the Serial Copy Management System (SCMS), you may not be able to make digital recordings. In this case, use analog recording through the ANALOG IN jack when you record from other units. Or use Synchro-Recording when you record from DECK A. (The recording mode is automatically changed to analog recording.)
