Disc remaining time
VR mode
•Recording is possible as long as there is available
space on the disc. (Finalized discs can be recorded
by cancelling the finalization, see “UNDO FINAL-
IZE” on page 28.)
• Erasing unnecessary title frees up available space
on the disc. (Titles can be erased from finalized
discs by first undoing the finalization. See “UNDO
FINALIZE” on page 28.)
Video mode
• Up until the disc is finalized, recording is possible
as long as there is available space on the disc.
(Once the disc has been finalized, additional
recording and erasing are not possible.)
• The remaining time cannot be increased, nor can
recorded title be overwritten.
•Titles cannot be erased nor can recorded titles be
overwritten.
Images that cannot be recorded
Some DVD-Video and broadcasts contain copy-restric-
tion signals to protect copyrights. There are 3 types of
copy-restriction signals: “Copy Free”, “Copy Never” and
“Copy Once”.
“Copy Free” (unrestricted recording)
Land-based TV broadcasts and images you record
yourself with a video camera allow unrestricted record-
ing. There are no restrictions on recording.
“Copy Never” (recording prohibited)
• Images that contain the recording prohibited signal
cannot be recorded.
• If the recording prohibited signal appears halfway
through an image you are recording, recording is
paused at that instant. When the recording
prohibited signal ends, recording resumes.
• This unit incorporates a built-in copy guard. It
cannot record software or broadcasted programs
that contain copy restriction signals designed to
protect copyright, etc.
“Copy Once” (one-time recordable)
Programs (images) that contain the one-time recordable
signal can be recorded only in the VR mode using a
DVD-RW disc that supports CPRM Ver. 1.1 and Ver. 1.2.
Note
• When using one touch timer recording to record on
a DVD disc, it takes some time from when you
press REC until recording actually starts.
Press REC a little before your preferred starting
point.
• Even if STOP is pressed during recording, record-
ing does not stop instantly. It takes a maximum of 1
minute for the information needed for the disc to be
compiled after pressing STOP.
• Because of characteristics peculiar to digital video
compression technology, scenes with fast motion
may appear as a matrix of larger blocks.
