Notes

•This recorder cannot record CD-RW or CD-R discs.

•DVD-RW/R and CD-RW/R discs recorded on a personal computer or a DVD or CD recorder may not play if the disc is damaged or dirty or if there is dirt or condensation on the player’s lens.

•If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it is recorded in a compatible format, there are cases in which it may not play because of the settings of the application software used to create the disc. (Check with the software publisher for more detailed information.)

•Discs recorded in Video mode on this unit cannot record additionally using other DVD recorders.

•A DVD-RW disc formatted with this unit cannot be used in other DVD recorders without any recording using this unit.

•Since the recording is made by the variable bit rate (VBR) method, depending on the picture you are recording, the actual remaining time for recording may be a little shorter than the remaining time displayed on the OSD.

Restrictions on recording

You cannot record copy-protected video using this unit. Copy-protected video includes DVD-Video discs, some satellite broadcast, some pay-per-view stations and some “premium” stations.

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

CPRM is a copy protection system with scramble system regarding the recording of “copy-once” broadcast programs. CPRM stands for Content Protection for Recordable Media.

This unit is CPRM compatible, which means that you can record copy-once broadcast programs, but you cannot make another 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 on DVD players that are specifically compatible with CPRM.
