Copying A/V Disc Recordings

Copy Free

No copy restrictions apply.

(or no status shown)

 

 

 

Copy Never

The track cannot be transferred to

 

another recording device. Tracks

 

of this type may have an assigned

 

retention period. See below for

 

more information.

Retention Period

Some COPY NEVER tracks have a retention period assigned by the content provider. The retention period is the length of time you can keep and view the record- ing. The initial retention period, if any, is shown next to the copy status in the Track List INFO display (see figure 4). To check how much time remains of the retention period, start viewing the recording and press INFO.

Note: The retention period for all tracks on the disc expires if there is any loss of power to the TV, even momentary. For example, expiration of the reten- tion period will occur if you:

Unplug the TV from the AC power source.

Experience a power outage or power fluctuation.

Remember that you can safely turn off TV power using the POWER button without affecting the reten- tion period.
