Recording Speed
You cannot record copy-protected program using this
unit. Copy-protected signal is included in DVD-videos and
some satellite broadcasts, some pay-per-view stations
and some “premium” stations.
If copy-protected material is detected, recording will
pause or stop automatically and an error message
appears on the screen.
“Copy-once only” video can only be recorded to CPRM
compatible DVD-RW formatted in VR mode.
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 make another copy of those recordings. CPRM
recordings can only be made on CPRM compatible DVD-
RW formatted in VR mode, and CPRM recordings can
only be played back on DVD players that are specifically
compatible with CPRM.
Making discs playable in other DVD players(Finalize)
For DVD-RW/-R, it is necessary to finalize the disc after
recording, in order to play back the disc on other DVD
players. (Refer to pages 40-42.)
When video mode DVD-RW or DVD-R are finalized, a DVD
menu is created. You cannot finalize discs in other DVD
recorders.
Restrictions on Recording
Note
• This unit cannot record to CD-RW or CD-R.
• All high definition pictures will be down converted to
the standard definition pictures when they are
recorded on this unit.
• DVD-RW/-R and CD-RW/-R recorded on a personal
computer or a DVD or CD recorder may not be
played back if the disc is damaged or dirty or if there
is condensation on the player’s lens.
• If you record a disc using a personal computer, even
if it is recorded in a compatible format it may not be
played back because of the settings of the
application software used to create the disc. (Check

record additional information using other DVD
recorders.
• It is not possible to use a DVD-RW formatted with
this unit on other DVD recorder unless the content of

rate) method, depending on the picture you are
recording, the actual remaining time for recording
may be a little shorter than the remaining time
displayed on the TV screen.
• “Make Recording Compatible” in “Recording”
menu does not work on this unit.
