• 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.

Recording Mode

You cannot record copy-protected program using this
unit. Copy-protected video signal is included in DVD-
videos, some satellite broadcasts, some pay-per-view
stations and some “premium” stations.
If copy-protected material is detected, recording will
pause or stop automatically and an error message
appears on the screen.
“Copy-once only” video can only be recorded to CPRM
compatible DVD-RW formatted in VR mode.

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 compatible DVD-RW format-
ted 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.

Restrictions on Recording

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

• Discs recorded in video mode on this unit cannot

record additional information using other DVD
