Unrecordable Material

˝Video recordings protected by a copy guard (a signal that controls copying to prevent recording) cannot be recorded.

Example:

˝DVD videos

˝PPV (pay-per-view) broadcasts

˝The proper image may not be able to be obtained in the case a copy guard is contained in the images of equipment connected to the external input jacks (IN 1, IN 2, IN 3 or DV) of this recorder.

Example:

˝Images not output at proper brightness

˝Incorrect output of picture size (page 80) and other data Connect such equipment directly to your TV without going through this recorder.

˝In the case a copy guard signal is contained in a source video that occurs partway through recording, recording is paused at that point. Recording resumes when the copy guard signal is no longer present, while no recordings will be made for the part where the copy prevention signal is present.

˝This recorder is equipped with a copy guard function that prevents recording of video software or broadcast programs that contain a signal that restricts copying in accordance with copyrights and so forth.
