Copyright protection system
To play back the digital video images of a DVD via an HDMI connection, it is necessary that both the player and the display device (or an AV amplifier) support a copyright protection system called HDCP (high-bandwidth digital content protection system). HDCP is copy protection technology that comprises data encryption and authentication of the connected AV device. This unit supports HDCP. Please read the operating instructions of your display device (or AV amplifier) for more information.
Note for HDMI Connection
•
Because HDMI is an evolving technology, it is possible that some devices with an HDMI input may not operate properly with this unit.
•
When using an HDCP-incompatible display device, the image will not be viewed properly.
•
Among the devices that support HDMI, some devices can control other devices via the HDMI connector; however, this unit cannot be controlled by another device via the HDMI connector.
•
When this unit’s HDMI connector is connected to a DVI-D compatible monitor (HDCP compatible) with an HDMI-DVI converter cable, the signals are output in digital RGB.
•
When the power failure occurs or when you unplug the unit, some problems in the HDMI setting might occur. Please check and set the HDMI setting again.

Restrictions on Recording
You cannot record copy-protected program using this unit. Copy-protected video signal is included in DVD-videos, some satellite broadcasts, some pay-per-view stations and some “premium” stations.
If copy-protected material is detected, recording will pause or stop automatically and an error message appears on the screen.
“Copy-once only” video can only be recorded to CPRM compatible DVD-RW formatted in VR mode.
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 CPRM compatible DVD-RW formatted in VR mode, and CPRM recordings can only be played back on DVD players that are specifically compatible with CPRM.
Making discs playable in other DVD players (Finalize)
For DVD-RW/-R, it is necessary to finalize the disc after recording, in order to play back the disc on other DVD players. (Refer to pages 42 - 43.)
When video mode discs are finalized, a title menu is created.
You cannot finalize discs in other DVD recorders.
