www.insignia-products.com
Restrictions
• Your recorder cannot record CDs.
• Discs may not play if damaged, dirty, or if the
player’s lens is dirty or has condensation.
• Discs recorded using a computer may not
play in this recorder, even if the disc was
recorded in a compatible format. See your
DVD recording software documentation for
detailed information on DVD recording
formats.
• Discs recorded in Video mode on this
recorder cannot record additional content
using other recorders.
• A DVD-RW formatted using this recorder
cannot be recorded to using other recorders.
• Because this recorder records video using
VBR (variable bit rate), depending on the
picture you are recording, the actual
remaining time for recording may be a little
less than the remaining time displayed on the
screen.
• You cannot record copy-protected video
using this recorder. Copy-protected video
includes DVD movies and some satellite
broadcasts.
If copy-protected material is encountered
during a recording, recording pauses or stops
automatically and an error message appears
on the screen.
• Video that is “copy-once only” can be
recorded using only a DVD-RW in VR mode
with CPRM (see “What is “CPRM”?” on page
28).
• When recording a TV broadcast or video
through an external input, you can display
copy control information on the screen.
What is “CPRM”?
CPRM means “Content Protection for
Recordable Media.” CPRM is a copy protection
system that uses scrambling technology to allow
only a single copy of “copy-once” programs to be
recorded.
This recorder is CPRM compatible, which
means that you can record copy-once broadcast
programs, but you cannot make additional
copies of those recordings. CPRM recordings
can be made only on DVD-RWs formatted in VR
mode, and CPRM recordings can only be played
on DVD players that are specifically compatible
with CPRM.
Information on copy control
Some satellite broadcasts include
copy-protected information. For recording these,
refer to the following guidelines:
Finalizing discs
After recording, you must finalize the DVD in
order to play it on other DVD players. For more
information, see “Finalizing discs” on page 28.
After finalizing:
• DVD-RWs and DVD-Rs (Video mode) cannot
record more content or be edited. When a
DVD-RW or DVD-R (Video mode) is
finalized, the Title menu is created
automatically.
• DVD-RW (VR mode) can record more
content and be edited.

Note
Dolby® Digital Recording lets you record
high-quality video with stereo sound on recordable
DVDs. The technology, when utilized instead of
PCM recording, also saves recordable DVD
space, allowing for higher video resolution or
extended recording time on each DVD.
DVDs created using Dolby Digital Recording will
play back on all DVD-Video players. This is true
when the players are compatible with actual
recordable DVDs.
