Note

•This unit cannot record to CD-RW or CD-R.

•All high definition pictures will be down converted to the standard definition pictures when they are recorded on this unit.

•DVD-RW/-R and CD-RW/-R recorded on a personal computer or a DVD or CD recorder may not be played back if the disc is damaged or dirty or if there is condensation on the player’s lens.

•If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it is recorded in a compatible format it may not be played back because of the settings of the application software used to create the disc. (Check with the software publisher for more detailed information.)

•Discs recorded in video mode on this unit cannot record additional information using other DVD recorders.

•It is not possible to use a DVD-RW formatted with this unit on other DVD recorder unless the content of the disc was also recorded with this unit.

•Since the recording is made by the VBR (variable bit rate) method, depending on the picture you are recording, the actual remaining time for recording may be a little shorter than the remaining time displayed on the TV screen.

•“Make Recording Compatible” in “Recording” menu does not work on this unit.

Restrictions on Recording

You cannot record copy-protected program using this unit. Copy-protected signal is included in DVD-videos and some satellite broadcasts, some pay-per-view stations and some “premium” stations.

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

“Copy-once only” video can only be recorded to CPRM compatible DVD-RW formatted in VR mode.

What is “CPRM”?

CPRM is a copy protection system with scramble system regarding the recording of “copy-once” broadcast programs. CPRM stands for Content Protection for Recordable Media.

This unit is CPRM compatible, which means that you can record copy-once broadcast programs, but you cannot make another copy of those recordings. CPRM recordings can only be made on CPRM compatible DVD- RW formatted in VR mode, and CPRM recordings can only be played back on DVD players that are specifically compatible with CPRM.

Making discs playable in other DVD players(Finalize) For DVD-RW/-R, it is necessary to finalize the disc after recording, in order to play back the disc on other DVD players. (Refer to pages 40-42.)

When video mode DVD-RW or DVD-R are finalized, a DVD menu is created. You cannot finalize discs in other DVD recorders.
