Copyright Precaution

Certain pre-recorded video tapes, films and other materials, as well as some television programs are copyrighted. Unauthorized recording of these materials may violate copyright protection laws.

Copyright Signals

During playback: If you try to play back a tape that contains copyright control signals for protection of software, “COPYRIGHT PROTECTED PLAYBACK IS RESTRICTED” appears for a few seconds and the camcorder displays a blank blue screen. You cannot playback the contents of the tape.

During recording: If you try to record from software that contains copyright control signals for protection of software, “COPYRIGHT PROTECTED DUBBING RESTRICTED” appears. You cannot record the contents of the software.
