Restrictions

•Your recorder cannot record CDs.

•Discs may not play if damaged, dirty, or if the player’s lens is dirty or has condensation.

•Discs recorded using a computer may not play in this recorder, even if the disc was recorded in a compatible format. See your DVD recording software documentation for detailed information on DVD recording formats.

•Discs recorded in Video mode on this recorder cannot record additional content using other recorders.

•A DVD-RW formatted using this recorder cannot be recorded to using other recorders.

•Because this recorder records video using VBR (variable bit rate), depending on the picture you are recording, the actual remaining time for recording may be a little less than the remaining time displayed on the screen.

•You cannot record copy-protected video using this recorder. Copy-protected video includes DVD movies and some satellite broadcasts.

If copy-protected material is encountered during a recording, recording pauses or stops automatically and an error message appears on the screen.

•Video that is “copy-once only” can be recorded using only a DVD-RW in VR mode with CPRM (see “What is “CPRM”?” on page 28).

•When recording a TV broadcast or video through an external input, you can display copy control information on the screen.

What is “CPRM”?

CPRM means “Content Protection for Recordable Media.” CPRM is a copy protection system that uses scrambling technology to allow only a single copy of “copy-once” programs to be recorded.

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

Information on copy control

Some satellite broadcasts include copy-protected information. For recording these, refer to the following guidelines:

DVD type	Format	Copy-	Copy- once	Copy-
		free		prohibited
DVD-RW	v1.1, 1.2	Y	--	--
VR mode
	v1.1, 1.2 CPRM	Y	Y	--
DVD-RW	v1.1, 1.2	Y	--	--
Video
	v1.1, 1.2 CPRM	Y	--	--
mode
DVD-R	v2.0	Y	--	--

Finalizing discs

After recording, you must finalize the DVD in order to play it on other DVD players. For more information, see “Finalizing discs” on page 28.

After finalizing:

•DVD-RWs and DVD-Rs (Video mode) cannot record more content or be edited. When a DVD-RW or DVD-R (Video mode) is finalized, the Title menu is created automatically.

•DVD-RW (VR mode) can record more content and be edited.

Note

Dolby® Digital Recording lets you record high-quality video with stereo sound on recordable DVDs. The technology, when utilized instead of PCM recording, also saves recordable DVD space, allowing for higher video resolution or extended recording time on each DVD.

DVDs created using Dolby Digital Recording will play back on all DVD-Video players. This is true when the players are compatible with actual recordable DVDs.
