Restrictions on video recording

• You cannot record copy-protected video using this
recorder. Copy-protected video includes DVD-Video
discs and some satellite broadcasts. If copy-
protected material is encountered during a
recording, recording will pause automatically and an
error message will be displayed on-screen.
• Video that is 'copy-once only' can only be recorded on
a DVD-RW disc in VR mode (see below).
• When recording a TV broadcast or through an
external input, you can display copy control
information on screen. (see Displaying disc
information on-screen on page 25).
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 recorder 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 CPRM-compatible DVD-
RW (ver. 1.1 or higher) discs formatted in VR mode.
DVD CPRM recordings can only be played on players that
are specifically compatible with CPRM.

VR mode Video mode
Before starting a recording, you will usually want to set
the picture quality/recording time. There are six standard
settings available, which allow you to choose a balance
between picture quality and recording time.
REC MODE
• Press REC MODE repeatedly to select a recording
setting.
• XP – Fine picture quality
• SP – Standard play
• LP – Long play
• EP – Extended play
• SLP – Super Long Play
• SEP – Super Extended Play
The setting is indicated in the front panel display, and
shown on-screen together with the recording time for a
blank recordable disc. If a recordable disc is loaded, the
approximate remaining recording time for that disc is
also shown. (Note that if the On Screen display setting
(see Display on page 48) is Off then this information is
not displayed.)
