Unrecordable video
Video with copy protection cannot be recorded on this
DVD Recorder. When the DVD Recorder receives a copy
guard signal while recording, recording stops and the
following message appears on the screen.
Concerning Copy Control Signals
TV broadcasts that contain copy control signals may
have one of the following three signal types, COPY-Free,
Copy-Once and Copy-Never. If you want to record a
copy-once type program, use DVD-RW with CPRM in
VR Mode and DVD-RAM.
Once “Copy Once” has been recorded, recording cannot
be done anymore.
- Content Protection for Recordable Media (CPRM)
CPRM is a mechanism that ties a recording to the media
on which it is recorded. It is supported by some DVD
recorders, but not by many DVD players. Each blank
recordable DVD has a unique 64-bit media ID etched in
the BCA. When protected content is recorded onto the
disc, it can be encrypted with a 56-bit C2 (Cryptomeria)
cipher derived from the media ID.
During playback, the ID is read from the BCA and used
to generate a key to decrypt the contents of the disc.
If the contents of the disc are copied to other media, the
ID will be absent or wrong and the data will not be
decryptable.
Recording Formats
Since available functions differ depending on the disc type,
select a disc that best fits your preferences; When you
insert an unused disc, the following message appears
DVD-RAM: Use after formatting the disc.
DVD-RW: When a blank disc is first inserted, the
message “Do you want to initialize this disc?” will
appear. When Yes is selected, the disc will be
formatted in VR Mode.
If you want to format in either VR Mode or Video
Mode, refer to Formatting a Disc on page 80.
DVD-R: Formatting DVD is unnecessary and only Video
