I have seen advertisements of digital signal processors which remove the SCMS bits. They come in handy as a convertor too, when your player has only optical output and the recorder only electrical input or vice versa. If you're interested I can look 'm up, IIRC I saw them in some German audio-magazine. They weren't exactly what you'd call cheap, something like $200 for the normal version and $400 for a more complex one which is needed for Philips CDRW devices. regards, Derkjan de Haan
