Copy Protection

•The ARCHOS recording system is designed to respect the Macrovision™ copyright protection system. If the source of your video is copy-protected, the device will record in protected mode. You will see a ‘P’ icon on the recording screen (not dur- ing playback), indicating that the file will be a protected file.

•Protected files can only be played back on the ARCHOS that created them, and not on a computer. The playback of protected files is also limited to the HDMI/

HDCP video output (in this case, your TV must have an HDMI/HDCP input con- nector). It cannot be displayed on a television using any other video output type.
