Restrictions on recording
You cannot record copy-protected video using this
unit. Copy-protected video includes DVD-Videos and
some satellite broadcasts.
If copy-protected material is detected, recording will
pause or stop automatically and an error message
appears on the screen.
You can only record “Copy-once only” video using a
DVD-RW disc in VR mode with Content Protection for
Recordable Media (CPRM).
When recording a TV broadcast or an external input,
you can display copy control information on the
screen.
CPRM is a scrambling copy protection system for the
protection of “copy-once” broadcast programmes.
This unit is CPRM compatible, which means that you
can record copy-once broadcast programmes, but
you cannot make a copy of those recordings. CPRM
recordings can only be played back on DVD players
that are specifically compatible with CPRM.

Making discs playable in other DVD

After recording, you must finalise the disc to play it
back on other players. (See page 49.)
You cannot finalise discs in other DVD recorders.
• For Video mode discs, the finalisation is required.
• For VR mode discs, the finalisation is
recommended.
• For the information on videotapes, refer to “VCR
Functions” on pages 89 to 91.
About HDD
HDD is a special component which has high recording
density and is suited for long-time recording or high-
speed cueing but by contrast, has many factors which
can cause breakage. Use HDD on the premise that
you should dub the recorded programmes to a DVD
disc or a videotape to protect your precious videos.
HDD is a temporary storage location:
HDD is not a permanent storage location of the
recorded contents. Be sure to use it as a temporary
storage location until you watch the programmes
once, edit them, or dub them to a DVD disc or a
videotape.
Be sure to dub (back up) data promptly if you find
abnormalities in HDD:
If there is mechanical trouble with the HDD, grinding
or other sounds may be heard or blocky noise may
appear on the image. If you continue to use as it is,
deterioration may continue and eventually the HDD
may not be used at all. If you notice these symptoms
of a failing HDD, promptly dub the data to a DVD disc
or a videotape.
When an HDD fails, recovery of recorded content
(data) may be impossible.
About the remaining capacity of HDD recording
time:
In recording to HDD, the Remaining Capacity Display
may differ from the actual recordable time as this unit
adopts Variable Bit Rate encoding, which varies the
recording (storage) amount of data in conformity with
the information amount of video. Before recording to
the HDD, ensure there is sufficient space on the HDD
by deleting unnecessary titles in advance. (Remaining
capacity will not increase if you only delete Playlists.)
