recorded regardless of whether or not the recorder’s power is on or off.
• Any programme that contains a Copy-Never copy guard signal cannot
be recorded. When you record a programme that contains a Copy-Once
signal, use a DVD-RW (Ver. 1.1 with CPRM) in VR mode for
recording. For details, see “Unrecordable pictures” (page 21).
• When using the Synchro Rec function, do not use the VCR control
function on connected equipment.
