Are you sure it would work?

I've got a couple of "protected" cd's (Freestylers - Pressure Point, Zebrahead - Playmate Of The Year), and I play them in my Pioneer NS-DV55 Home cinema set (incl. DVD Player, like you state).
But when I use the Digital Out to make a copy on my minidisc (Sony MZR50 or something) via the Digital In, the MiniDisc gives a "NO COPY" - error, and only allows me to make a (lossy) analog copy.

Same problem with CD-RWs. Sometimes I burn a song/mix i made on a CD-RW, just to check what it will sound like on my home hifi-set, and when I try to make a digital copy on MiniDisc, the "NO COPY" sign appears again. Strange, eh?

I mean, wouldn't this be the case using the Digital In on your SoundBlaster, or doesn't the SoundBlaster recognise it as being a "protected" cd, like the MiniDisc does?
