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.
