Notes for the USB devices

≥This unit does not guarantee connection with all USB devices.

≥FAT16 and FAT32 file systems are supported. ≥This unit supports USB 2.0 High Speed.

≥Although this unit can use USB 3.0 devices as USB 2.0 devices, in certain cases USB 3.0 devices cannot be used due to differing connector shape, larger current ratings, etc. (Use of USB 2.0 devices is recommended.)

∫ Play on other players

[BD-RE] [BD-R]

It can be played on the players compatible with BD-RE (Ver. 2.1) and BD-R.

≥When BD-RE and BD-R cannot be played back on other Blu-ray Disc players, etc. (e.g., title recorded with HE-AAC audio format), convert the recording mode to play them back. (> 50, File Conversion)

[DVD-R] [DVD-RW] [+R] [+RW]

Finalisation is needed. (> 75)

Notes for the SD cards

∫Compatible SD card

–SD Memory Card (from 8 MB to 2 GB)

–SDHC Memory Card (from 4 GB to 32 GB)

–SDXC Memory Card (48 GB, 64 GB)

≥This unit is compatible with SD Memory Cards that meet SD Card Specifications FAT12 and FAT16 formats, as well as SDHC Memory Cards in FAT32 format and SDXC Memory Cards in exFAT format.

∫Setting the protection

Switch the write-protect switch to the “LOCK” position.

∫ Using miniSD card or microSD card

Mini-type and micro-type cards can	e.g.,
also be used, but must be used with
adaptor cards. These are usually
supplied with such cards, or
otherwise customer provided.

≥Useable memory is slightly less than the card capacity.

≥If the SD card is formatted on other equipment, the time necessary for recording may be longer. Also, if the SD card is formatted on a PC, you may not be able to use it on this unit. In these cases, format the card on this unit (> 74).

≥SDHC Memory Cards and SDXC Memory Cards can be used in equipment that is compatible with the appropriate cards. (SDHC Memory Cards can also be used in equipment compatible with SDXC Memory Cards)

Using either of these cards in a non-compatible PC or noncompatible equipment may result in formatting etc. and the loss of recorded content.

About CI Plus compatible broadcast

“CI Plus” is a technical specification that imposes copy protection on the broadcasted programmes.

≥All CI Plus protected programmes are encrypted.

It may take some time to display the encrypted programme.

∫Retention limit

There are some titles for which the playback is disabled after a predetermined time. (e.g., Permitted playback period is 90 minutes after recording.)

≥When the programme is imposed a limit on the playable period, the icon will appear on the DIRECT NAVIGATOR screen after recording. (> 41)

≥These titles cannot be copied to the disc. (> below, Copying is prohibited)

∫CI Plus copy protection

When the CI Plus compatible broadcast is recorded, the title may be copy protected. ≥There are following types of the copy protection depending on the broadcast:

Copying not restricted

≥Depending on the programme, you can copy only to BD-RE, BD-R, or DVD-RAM (CPRM compatible discs only).

One generation copy is permitted

≥You can copy to BD-RE, BD-R or DVD-RAM (CPRM compatible discs only) only once. However, the original title will be deleted.

≥You cannot copy from the copied BD-RE, BD-R or DVD-RAM (CPRM compatible discs) to HDD or another disc.

Copying is prohibited

≥You cannot copy to the disc.
