CPRM
CPRM is a copy protection/scrambling
system developed for the recording of 'copy
once' broadcast programmes. CPRM stands
for Content Protection for Recordable Media.
This recorder is CPRM compatible, which
means that you can record copy-once
broadcast programmes, but you cannot then
make a copy of those recordings. CPRM
recordings can only be made on CPRM-
compatible DVD-R (ver. 2.0/8x or higher) or
DVD-RW (ver. 1.1 or higher) discs formatted
in VR mode, DVD-RAM discs or on the HDD.
DVD CPRM recordings can only be played
on players that are specifically compatible
with CPRM.
