Copy guard function
Since the recorder has a copy guard
function, programs received through

contain copy protection signals
(copy guard function) and as such
may not be recordable, depending
on the type of signal.
If you have any questions or
problems concerning your recorder,
please consult your nearest Sony
dealer.
