Information

This unit can record to DVD-R and DVD-RW discs. When recording, you will need to select a recording

format between Video mode and VR mode depend-

ingon the disc format.The disc format for DVD-R isalways "Video format," so a recording format will

be "Video mode". On the other hand, when recording to DVD-RW, a

recording format will be "Video mode" or "VR

mode" because a disc format is available between "Video Recording format" and "Video format" for

DVD-RW.

Restrictions on recording

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 encountered during a

recording, recording will pause or stop automatically and an error message will be displayed on-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 aTV broadcast or through an

external input, you can display copy control informa- tion on screen.

What is "CPRM"? CPRM is a copy protection system with scram-

ble 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 pro- grams, but you cannot then 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

on players that are specifically compatible with CPRM.
