NOTE

•When attempting to record copy protected material on a VCR or other recording device, the copy protection will activate and the protected material will not be recorded correctly. In addition, attempting to display copy protected material on a monitor connected via a VCR, whether for the purpose of viewing or not, will cause an inferior quality picture to be displayed. This is not a fault of the equipment. Please view copy protected material by connecting the product directly to the monitor.
