What is “CPRM”?
CPRM is a copy protection system with
scramble 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 programs,
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.
