Restrictions on recording

You cannot record copy-protected materials using this unit. Copy-protected material includes DVD- Video discs and some satellite broadcasts.

If copy-protected material is encountered during a recording, recording will be paused or stop automatically and an error message will be displayed on the screen.

Material that is “copy-once only” can only be recorded using a DVD-RW disc in VR mode with CPRM (see below).

When recording a TV broadcast or through an external input, you can display copy control information on the screen.

What is “CPRM”?

This is a format used to record copy-once programs. By recording coded data on the area of DVD discs that ordinary writing software cannot write, it prevents copy-once programs from being recorded repeatedly on different media.

This unit is CPRM compatible, which means that you can record copy-once broadcast programs, but then you cannot make a copy of those recordings. CPRM recordings can only be made on DVD-RW discs formatted in VR mode, and

CPRM recordings can only be played back on DVD players that are compatible with CPRM.

Making discs playable on other DVD player (Finalize)

After recording, you must finalize the disc in order to play on other units. (Refer to page 36.)
