Disc remaining time

VR mode

¥Recording is possible as long as there is available space on the disc. (Finalized discs can be recorded by cancelling the finalization, see ÒUNDO FINAL- IZEÓ on page 28.)

¥Erasing unnecessary title frees up available space on the disc. (Titles can be erased from finalized discs by first undoing the finalization. See ÒUNDO FINALIZEÓ on page 28.)

Video mode

¥Up until the disc is finalized, recording is possible as long as there is available space on the disc. (Once the disc has been finalized, additional recording and erasing are not possible.)

¥The remaining time cannot be increased, nor can recorded title be overwritten.

¥Titles cannot be erased nor can recorded titles be overwritten.

Images that cannot be recorded

Some DVD-Video and broadcasts contain copy-restric- tion signals to protect copyrights. There are 3 types of copy-restriction signals: ÒCopy FreeÓ, ÒCopy NeverÓ and ÒCopy OnceÓ.

“Copy Free” (unrestricted recording) Land-based TV broadcasts and images you record yourself with a video camera allow unrestricted record- ing. There are no restrictions on recording.

“Copy Never” (recording prohibited)

¥Images that contain the recording prohibited signal cannot be recorded.

¥If the recording prohibited signal appears halfway through an image you are recording, recording is paused at that instant. When the recording prohibited signal ends, recording resumes.

¥This unit incorporates a built-in copy guard. It cannot record software or broadcasted programs that contain copy restriction signals designed to protect copyright, etc.

“Copy Once” (one-time recordable)

Programs (images) that contain the one-time recordable signal can be recorded only in the VR mode using a DVD-RW disc that supports CPRM Ver. 1.1 and Ver. 1.2.

Note

¥When using one touch timer recording to record on a DVD disc, it takes some time from when you press REC until recording actually starts.

Press REC a little before your preferred starting point.

¥Even if STOP is pressed during recording, record- ing does not stop instantly. Recording may con- tinue for as long as 5 seconds maximum in the VR mode or 30 seconds maximum in the Video mode.

¥Because of characteristics peculiar to digital video compression technology, scenes with fast motion may appear as a matrix of larger blocks.
