Restrictions
You cannot record copy-protected video using this
unit. Copy-protected video includes DVD-Video
discs and some satellite broadcasts. If copy-protect-
ed material is encountered during a recording, the
unit will pause or stop automatically and an error
message will be displayed on-screen. "Copy-once
only" video can be recorded only using a DVD-RW
disc in VR mode with CPRM (see below). When
recording a TV broadcast or through an external
input, copy control information can be displayed on
screen.
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 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
compatible with CPRM.

contents. Refer to the following condition on copy
