Recording
NOTES:
• Because of characteristics
peculiar to digital video compres-
sion technology, scenes with fast
motion may appear as a matrix
of larger blocks.
• During recording, if the picture
noise continues for 1 minute, the
recording will stop automatically.

Disc remaining time

VR mode
• Recording is possible as long as there is available space on the
disc. (Finalised discs can be recorded by cancelling the
finalisation, see "UNDO FINALISE" on page 23.)
• Erasing unnecessary title frees up available space on the disc.
(Titles can be erased from finalised discs by first undoing the
finalisation. See "UNDO FINALISE" on page 23.)
Video mode
• Up until the disc is finalised, recording is possible as long as there
is available space on the disc. (Once the disc has been finalised,
additional recording and erasing are not possible.)
• The remaining time cannot be increased, nor can recorded title be
overwritten.
• Titles cannot be erased nor can recorded titles be overwritten.

Images that cannot be recorded

Some DVD-Video and broadcasts contain copy-restriction signals to
protect copyrights. There are 3 types of copy-restriction signals:
"Copy Free", "Copy Never" and "Copy Once".
"Copy Free" (unrestricted recording)
Land-based TV broadcasts and images you record yourself with a
video camera allow unrestricted recording. There are no restrictions
on recording.
"Copy Never" (recording prohibited)
• Images that contain the recording prohibited signal cannot be
recorded.
• If the recording prohibited signal appears halfway through an
image you are recording, recording is paused at that instant. When
the recording prohibited signal ends, recording resumes.
• This unit incorporates a built-in copy guard. It cannot record
software or broadcasted programs that contain copy restriction
signals designed to protect copyright, etc.
"Copy Once" (one-time recordable)
Programs (images) that contain the one-time recordable signal can
be recorded only in the VR mode using a DVD-RW disc that sup-
ports CPRM Ver. 1.1 and Ver. 1.2.
