The Serial Copy
Management
System (SCMS)
prevents digital
copying of audio
material from the
second generation
onwards.
Unfortunately, this
protection also
works on home
recordings and so
prevents home
recordists from
digitally copying
their own
musical work more than
once without degradation
by the SCMS. This problem
has been highlighted
before in this magazine,
but it has not gone away
– reason enough to
describe a simple and
inexpensive circuit for
permanently removing the
copy-prohibit-bit from the
S/PDIF audio signal.
