What is CPRM?
This is a format used to record copy-once programs.
By recording coded data on the area of discs that ordi-
nary writing software cannot write,it prevents copy-
once programs from being recorded repeatedly on dif-
ferent media.
This unit is CPRM compatible,which means that you
can record copy-once broadcast programs,but then
you cannot make a copy of those recordings.CPRM
recordings can only be made on the HDD or VR mode
DVD-RW disc,and CPRM recordings can only be
played back on DVD players that are compatible with
CPRM.

About HDD
HDD is a special component which has high recording den-
sity and is suited for long-time recording or high-speed cue-
ing but by contrast,has many factors which can cause break-
age.Use HDD on the premise that you should dub the
recorded programs 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 programs 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 record-
ing 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 (stor-
age) 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 unneces-
sary titles in advance.(Remaining capacity will not increase if
you only delete Playlists.)
