Unrecordable video
Video with copy protection cannot be recorded on this
DVD Recorder.
When the DVD Recorder receives a copy guard signal
while recording, recording stops and the following
message appears on the screen.

Concerning Copy Control Signals

TV broadcasts that contain copy control signals may
have one of the following three signal types, Copy-Free,
Copy-Once and Copy-Never. If you want to record a
copy-once type programme, use DVD-RW with CPRM
in VR Mode and DVD-RAM.
Once “Copy Once” has been recorded, recording
cannot be done anymore.
- Content Protection for Recordable Media (CPRM)
CPRM is a mechanism that ties a recording to the
media on which it is recorded. It is supported by some
DVD recorders, but not by many DVD players. Each
blank recordable DVD has a unique 64-bit media ID
etched in the BCA. When protected content is recorded
onto the disc, it can be encrypted with a 56-bit C2
(Cryptomeria) cipher derived from the media ID.
During playback, the ID is read from the BCA and used
to generate a key to decrypt the contents of the disc.
If the contents of the disc are copied to other media, the
ID will be absent or wrong and the data will not be
decryptable.
Recording Formats
Since available functions differ depending on the disc type,
select a disc that best fits your preferences; When you
insert an unused disc, the following message appears.
DVD-RAM: Use after formatting the disc.
DVD-RW: When a blank disc is first inserted, the
message “Do you want to initialize this disc?”
will appear.
When YES is selected, the disc will be
formatted in VR Mode.
If you want to format in either VR Mode or
Video Mode, refer to Formatting a Disc on
page 85.
DVD-R:Formatting DVD is unnecessary and only Video

Recording Mode
Select one of four recording modes by pressing the REC
MODE button repeatedly while the unit is in Stop mode for
the desired recording time and picture quality.
In general, picture quality improves as the recording time
decreases. In FR mode, the most suitable record mode is
adjusted automatically, according to remaining time on the
disc and length of the timer recording.
This function is selected only one mode in XP, SP, LP and
EP modes and you can use this mode for timer recording.
