Recorded audio

LPCM

, sound

is recorded in high quality, uncompressed Linear PCM
format.

If the broadcast audio is bilingual and you are recording
in Video mode or on the

LPCM

setting, use the Bilingual

Recording setting (page 70) to select the

A/L

B/R

audio channel to record before recording starts. In other
cases, both channels of a bilingual broadcast will be
recorded and you can switch on playback.

Restrictions on video recording

You cannot record copy-protected video using this
recorder. Copy-protected video includes DVD-Video discs
and some satellite broadcasts. If copy-protected material
is encountered during a recording, recording will pause
automatically and an error message will be displayed on-
screen.

Video that is ‘copy-once only’ can only be recorded ona
disc in VR mode (see below).

When recording a TV broadcast or through an external
input, you can display copy control information on
screen. (see

Displaying disc information on-screen

page 30).

CPRM

CPRM is a copy protection/scrambling system developed
for 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 CPRM-compatible
DVD-R (ver. 2.0/8x or higher) or DVD-RW (ver. 1.1 or
higher) discs formatted in VR mode.

DVD CPRM recordings can only be played on players that
are specifically compatible with CPRM.
