You cannot record copy-protected video using this unit. Copy-protected video includes DVD-Video discs and some
satellite broadcasts.
If copy-protected material is detected, recording will pause or stop automatically and an error message
appears on the screen.
You can only record “Copy-once only” video using a DVD-RW disc in VR mode with Content Protection for
Recordable Media (CPRM).
When recording a TV broadcast or an external input, you can display copy control information on the screen.
What is “CPRM”?
CPRM is a scrambling copy protection system for the protection of “copy-once” broadcast programmes. This unit is CPRM
compatible, which means that you can record copy-once broadcast programmes, but you cannot make a copy of those
recordings. CPRM recordings can only be played back on DVD players that are specifically compatible with CPRM.
