Information on DVD recording (cont'd)

Restrictions on recording

You cannot record copy-protected video using this
unit. Copy-protected video includes DVD-Video
discs and some satellite broadcasts.
If copy-protected material is encountered during a
recording, recording will pause or stop automatically
and an error message will be displayed on-screen.
Video that is "copy-once only" can only be recorded
using a DVD-RW disc in VR mode with CPRM (see
below).
When recording a TV broadcast or through an
external input, you can display copy control informa-
tion on screen.
What is "CPRM"?
CPRM is a copy protection system with scram-
ble 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 pro-
grams, but you cannot then 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 DVD players that are specifically compatible
with CPRM.

Information on copy control

Some satellite broadcasts include copy-protected
information. For recording these, refer to the fol-
lowing.
