The Track List may also display the copy status for a track. You may see the following status displays:
Copy Once | The track can be copied once only. |
|
|
Copy No More | If a retention value is shown, the |
| track may be movable using your |

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 recording. The initial retention period, if any, is shown next to the copy status in the Track List INFO display. To check how much 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 retention period will occur if you:
•Unplug the TV or recording device from the AC power source.
•Experience a power outage or fluctuation.
You can safely turn off TV power using the POWER key without affecting the retention period.
