I see; so we get free medicaire and you get free discmen :-))Yes it will record on any blank cdr-data or audio blank. I have used .25 cent no name spindle junk without a problem. I've used maxell, tdk, imation, kodak, and basf without any problem. All but the basf were just regular computer cdr's. Funny thing; the manual shows that it can only use 'digital audio' cdr's but there was an addendum sheet showing the same 'digital audio' logos as in the actual manual and they wrote "for consumer use" and then under it are the computer cdr logos and they've written "for professional use". So I suppose they're saying "you can only use computer cdr's if you are an audio professional......nudge nudge wink wink"
Yes you can turn off their src by turning on what they call 44.1k direct. It must be direct because the hdcd coding passes through. If the source is hdcd then your copy will be as well. I'd imagine that were I to use their src then the hdcd coding would not not come through?
In terms of scms; the word appears nowhere in the manual. I have tested for that by trying to copy a copy and it worked without a hitch. But I'm unfamiliar with the finer details of scms. I'm just assuming that since i'm using the direct digital 44.1k input then as soon as I tried to copy that way from a digital copy it would have given me an error message of some sort? Is it possible in light of what i've just told you that it is using scms anyway? I'm new to all this cdr stuff.
Sony owns Columbia records so perhaps that's why they aren't advertising the fact that this cdrecorder uses no scms?
