Toggling protection and emphasis flags 
Select the Prot check box to add a flag to the Q subcode to prevent digital copying of your CD. 
In order to use copy protection, the CD player must support the copy-protection flag. 
Select the Emph check box to add a pre-emphasis flag to the Q subcode. 
Pre-emphasis is a basic noise-reduction process that is implemented by a CD player. Emphasis involves boosting high frequencies 
during CD writing and cutting those frequencies during playback. The emphasis process reduces high-frequency noise without 
disrupting the natural frequency of the source material. 
Selecting the Emph check box does not impart the pre-emphasis boost on a track; it can only set the flag. In order for pre-emphasis to 
occur, the CD recorder and player must support the flag. Check your CD drive documentation to determine whether your drive supports 
pre-emphasis flags.
