Restrktions on recording
You cannot record copy-protected video using this
DVD recorder. 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-screen.
Video that is "copy-once only" can only be recorded
using a DVD-P)A/disc inVR mode with CPRH (see
below).
When recording aTV broadcast or through an
external input, you can display copy control informa-
tion on screen.
What is "CPRM"?
CPRM is a copy protection system with scram-
hie system regarding the recording of "copy
once" broadcast programs. CPRM stands for
Content Protection for Recordable Media.
This DVD recorder is CPRM compatible,which
means that you can record copy-once broad-
cast programs, but you cannot then make a
copy of those recordings. CPRM recordings can
only be made on DVD-RVV discs formatted in
VR mode, and CPRM recordings can only be
played on players that are specifically compati-
ble with CPRM.
