COPY PROTECTION
The ARCHOS recording system is designed to respect the Macrovision™ copyright
protection system. If the source of your video is copy-protected, the device will record
in protected mode. You will see a ‘P’ icon on the recording screen (not during play-
back), indicating that the le will be a protected le.
Protected les can only be played back on the ARCHOS that created them, and not on
a computer. The playback of protected les is also limited to the built-in LCD screen
and cannot be displayed on an external television.
