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 the 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 the 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 DVD
players that are specifically compatible with
CPRM.

Making discs playable in other DVD
player (Finalize)

After recording, you must finalize the disc in order to
play on other units. (Refer to page 35.)

After finalizing:

• Once DVD-RW/R (Video mode) is finalized, you
cannot record additionally or edit.

• Even if DVD-RW (VR mode) is finalized, you can
record additionally or edit the disc.

• When DVD-RW/R (Video mode) is finalized, the
Title menu will be created automatically.

To play in other DVD players, finalize discs
recorded on this unit.
