• The recording times listed above are estimates and are
for reference purposes only. Actual recording times may
vary.
• The audio and video quality of content being recorded
may differ depending on the recording mode/recording
time chosen.
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, 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.)
• Discs recorded in video mode on this unit cannot
record additional information using other DVD
recorders.
• It is not possible to use a DVD-RW/DVD+RW
formatted with this unit on other DVD recorder
unless the content of the disc was also recorded with
this unit.
• 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.

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 com-
patible 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 42-44.) For
DVD+RW/+R, it is recommended to finalize the disc
in order to make the disc more compatible to other
DVD player. When video and +VR mode disc are
finalized, a title menu is created. You cannot finalize
discs in other DVD recorders.
