50
GB
NOTES:
• Fast motion scenes may appear as
a matrix of larger blocks because
of characteristics on the digital
video compression.
• During recording, if the picture of
sand storm noise or no signal
continues for 1 minute, the
recording will stop automatically
because of characteristics on the
MPEG encoder.
• After you finalise a disc, you can
play back this disc on other DVD
players. (See page 24.)

Disc remaining time
VR mode
• Recording is possible as long as there is available space on the
disc. (Finalised discs can be used for recording by cancelling the
finalisation, see “UNDO FINALISE” on page 22.)
•Erasing unnecessary title frees up available space on the disc. (Titles
can be erased from finalised discs by first undoing the finalisation.
See “UNDO FINALISE” on page 22.)
Video mode
• Discs can be recorded to repeatedly until they are finalised or full. If
a disc has been finalised, you can no longer edit or record.
• The remaining time cannot be increased, nor can recorded title be
overwritten.
• Titles cannot be erased nor can recorded titles be overwritten.
Images that cannot be recorded
Some DVD-Video and broadcasts contain copy-restriction signals to
protect copyrights. There are 3 types of copy-restriction signals: “Copy
Free”, “Copy Never” and “Copy Once”.
“Copy Free” (unrestricted recording)
Land-based TV broadcasts and images you record yourself with a video
camera allow unrestricted recording. There are no restrictions on re-
cording.
“Copy Never” (recording prohibited)
• Images that contain the recording prohibited signal cannot be re-
corded.
• If the recording prohibited signal appears halfway through an image
you are recording, recording is paused at that instant. When the
recording prohibited signal ends, recording resumes.
• This unit incorporates a built-in copy guard. It cannot record soft-
ware or broadcasted programs that contain copy restriction signals
designed to protect copyright, etc.
“Copy Once” (one-time recordable)
Programs (images) that contain the one-time recordable signal can be
recorded only in the VR mode using a DVD-RW disc that supports
CPRM Ver. 1.1.
