Information on DVD recording
Recording
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 depend­ing on the disc format.The disc format for DVD-R is always “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.
About Video mode and VR (Video Recording) mode
Video mode is the same recording format as DVD­Video discs purchased locally, so that you can play in most DVD players.To play in other DVD players, you will need to finalize the disc (see page 41). If not finalized, you can play, record additionally or edit discs recorded in Video mode with this unit. VR (Video Recording) mode is a basic recording format for DVD-RW.You can record and edit repeatedly.
DVD players which are compatible are capable of playing DVD-RW recorded in VR mode.
Recording speed
You can select a recording speed among 6 options, and the recording time will depend on the record­ing speed you select as follows.
* This table is designed for a new single-sided 12cm
disc as the standard.The recording time are esti­mates and actual recording time may differ.
* The audio and video quality is getting poorer as
the recording time becomes longer.
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, the unit 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 a TV broadcast or through an external input, you can display copy control informa­tion on 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 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.
