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 with the software
publisher for more detailed information.)
Since the recording is made by the VBR (variable
•
bit 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.
Restrictions on Recording
You cannot record copy-protected program using this unit.
Copy-protected video signal is included in DVD-videos,
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 42 - 43.)
When video mode discs are finalized, a title menu is
created.
You cannot finalize discs in other DVD recorders.
