tion on screen.

What is “CPRM”?
CPRM is a copy protection system with scram-
ble system regarding the recording of “copy
once” broadcast programs. CPRM stands for
Content Protection for Recordable Media.
This unit is CPRM compatible, which means
that you can record copy-once broadcast pro-
grams, but you cannot then 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
on DVD players that are specifically compatible
with CPRM.
