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.
