The C03 has an scms button that selects from four options. The are as
follows:
1. SCMS "Pass-Thru" Mode:
This mode merely passes all SCMS information received at the input source
to the output sources with no modification.
2. SCMS "None" Mode:
When SCMS mode is set to None, the outgoing SCMS bits are set to indicate
that there is no copy protection asserted (the material may be copied). If
the source is coaxial or optical S/PDIF, then the CO3 actually strips the
SCMS material out of the incoming stream and replaces it with bits that
indicate no copy protection.
3. SCMS "original" Mode:
When SCMS mode is set to Original, the outgoing SCMS bits are set to
indicate that the source material is the original material and not a copy.
Therefore, most receiving units will accept this material
4. SCMS "1st Generation" Mode:
When SCMS mode is set to 1st Generation, the outgoing SCMS bits are set to
indicate that the source material is a copy. Therefore, receiving units
that include SCMS will not accept this material - this can be useful for
protecting the copyright of commercial material.
All of the above was taken from the owners manual of the CO3.
>>Can you turn the stripping off, so that an SCMS-unlimited signal passes
through unmolested?
So, yes you can turn the stripping off so that it will pass an
SCMS-unlimited signal. I tested this, and it works with my unit. However,
the other three modes all function identically, as if the unit were in
"Original" mode.
Thanks for any and all help that can be offered. Iam particularly
interested in those of you who have a CO3 that works correctly, and what
the rest of your system is.
Thanks again,
Shawn
