Recorded audio

In all except the LPCM mode, sound is recorded in two channel Dolby Digital format. When set to LPCM, sound is recorded in high quality, uncompressed Linear PCM format.

If the broadcast audio is bilingual and you are recording in Video mode or on the LPCM setting, use the Bilingual Recording setting (page 70) to select the A/L or B/R audio channel to record before recording starts. In other cases, both channels of a bilingual broadcast will be recorded and you can switch on playback.

You cannot record copy-protected video using this recorder. Copy-protected video includes DVD-Video discs and some satellite broadcasts. If copy-protected material is encountered during a recording, recording will pause automatically and an error message will be displayed on- screen.

Video that is ‘copy-once only’ can only be recorded ona disc in VR mode (see below).

When recording a TV broadcast or through an external input, you can display copy control information on screen. (see Displaying disc information on-screenon page 30).

Before starting a recording, you will usually want to set the picture quality/recording time. There are six standard settings available, which allow you to choose a balance between picture quality and recording time.

When Manual Recording is set to On (see Manual Recording on page 72), a further option will be available (MN1–32or LPCM, depending on what you set).

See also Recording time and picture quality on page 32 for more information.

CPRM

CPRM is a copy protection/scrambling system developed for the recording of ‘copy once’ broadcast programs. CPRM stands for Content Protection for Recordable Media.

This recorder is CPRM compatible, which means that you can record copy-once broadcast programs, but you cannot then make a copy of those recordings. CPRM recordings can only be made on CPRM-compatible DVD-R (ver. 2.0/8x or higher) or DVD-RW (ver. 1.1 or higher) discs formatted in VR mode.

DVD CPRM recordings can only be played on players that are specifically compatible with CPRM.
