Digital Audio CDR Media

Digital Audio CDR Media is designed for use in Home Entertainment Center CD Recorders such as the Phillips 765 and 870 or the Pioneer PDR-V500 Recorders. These recorders do not use standard CDR media. They require media that conforms to the Serial Copy Management System (SCMS) format. The purpose of SCMS is to protect the copyright of recorded CDs. Recorders that support the SCMS standard are designed to only work with Digital Audio media that supports the SCMS format.

SCMS allows a perfect duplicate copy of a CD to be made. Once recorded, it will play in any CD player just as the disk from which it is copied. However, the recorded disk cannot be used to generate a copy of itself. This "copy of a copy" protection is the purpose of the SCMS recording mode.

Both 74 and 80 minute digital audio media are available. Save money by having both 74 and 80 minute media on hand and use the 80 minute media only when you need the extra capacity. Both the 74 and 80 minute media are designed to work at recording speeds up to 24X..

NOTE: DIGITAL AUDIO MEDIA IS INTENDED FOR USE ONLY IN RECORDERS THAT REQUIRE AND SUPPORT THE DIGITAL AUDIO MODE WITH SCMS CAPABILITY.
