Information on DVD recording

Recording

Information

This DVD recorder 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 (see page 39). Unless 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 with 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
DVD recorder. 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 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 DVD recorder 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.
