Restrictions on video recording

will be displayed on-screen.
• Video that is 'copy-once only' can only be recorded
using a DVD-RW disc in VR mode or DVD-RAM disc
with CPRM (see below).
• NTSC format signals from the analogue or the DV
inputs is not recorded correctly with this recorder.
• Video signals in SECAM format (from the built-in TV

What is 'CPRM'?

CPRM is a copy protection system (with scramble
system) only allowing the recording of 'copy once'
broadcast programs. CPRM stands for Content
Protection for Recordable Media.
This recorder is CPRM compatible, which means that
you can record copy-once broadcast 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 or DVD-RAM discs, and CPRM
recordings can only be played on players that are
specifically compatible with CPRM.
