•This table is intended for a standard new single sided 12cm / 8cm disc. The recording times are estimates and actual recording time may differ.

•The audio and video quality becomes poorer as the recording time gets longer.

Video mode and VR (Video Recording) mode Video mode is the same recording format as used on the pre-recordedDVD-Videos you purchase in local shops, so you can play back the discs recorded in this format in most DVD players.

You will need to finalise such discs (see pages

40-41) before playing them back in other DVD players. Unless finalised, you can record additional materials or edit discs recorded in Video mode with this unit.

VR (Video Recording) mode is a basic recording format for DVD-RW discs. You can record and edit material repeatedly. It is impossible to record additional materials on a disc formatted in VR mode and already recorded in another video system other than PAL, such as NTSC.

DVD players bearing the logo are capable of playing back DVD-RW discs recorded in VR mode.

Restrictions on recording

You cannot record copy-protected video using this unit. Copy-protected video includes DVD-Videos and some satellite broadcasts.

If copy-protected material is detected, recording will pause or stop automatically and an error message appears on the screen.

You can only record “Copy-once only” video using a DVD-RW disc in VR mode with Content Protection for Recordable Media (CPRM). When recording a TV broadcast or an external input, you can display copy control information on the screen.

CPRM is a scrambling copy protection system for the protection of “copy-once” broadcast programmes. This unit is CPRM compatible, which means that you can record copy-once broadcast programmes, but you cannot then make a copy of those recordings. CPRM recordings can only be played back on DVD players that are specifically compatible with CPRM.
