What is “CPRM”?
This is a format used to record copy-once pro-
grams. By recording coded data on the area of
DVD discs that ordinary writing software can-
not write, it prevents copy-once programs from
being recorded repeatedly on different media.
This unit is CPRM compatible, which means
that you can record copy-once broadcast pro-
grams, but then you cannot make a copy of
those recordings. CPRM recordings can only be
made on DVD-RW discs formatted in VR
mode, and CPRM recordings can only be played
back on DVD players that are compatible with
CPRM.
