Information on DVD recording
Information
This DVD recorder can record to DVD-R and
DVD-RW discs.When recording, you will need to
select a recording format between Video mode and
VR mode depending on the disc format.The disc
format for DVD-R is always "Video format," so a
recording format will be "Video mode".
On the other hand, when recording to DVD-RW, a
recording format will be "Video mode" or "VR
mode" because a disc format is available between
"Video Recording format" and "Video format" for
DVD-RW.

Restrictions on recording
You cannot record copy-protected video using this
DVD recorder. Copy-protected video includes
DVD-Video discs and some satellite broadcasts.
If copy-protected material is encountered during a
recording, recording will pause or stop automatically
and an error message will be displayed on-screen.
Video that is "copy-once only" can only be recorded
using a DVD-RW disc in VR mode with CPRM (see
below).
When recording a TV broadcast or through an
external input, you can display copy control informa-
tion on screen.
What is "CPRM"?
CPRM is a copy protection system with scram-
ble system regarding the recording of "copy
once" broadcast programs. CPRM stands for
Content Protection for Recordable Media.
This DVD recorder is CPRM compatible, which
means that you can record copy-once broad-
cast programs, but you cannot then make a
copy of those recordings. CPRM recordings can
only be made on DVD-RW discs formatted in
VR mode, and CPRM recordings can only be
played on players that are specifically compati-
ble with CPRM.
