Note
• This unit cannot record on CD-RW or CD-R discs.
• DVD-RW / R discs, DVD+RW / R discs and
CD-RW / R discs recorded on a personal computer
or a DVD or CD recorder may not be played back if
the disc is damaged or dirty or if there is
condensation on the unit’s lens.
• If you record on a disc using a personal computer,
there are cases in which it may not be played back
because of the settings of the application software
used to create the disc, even if it is recorded in a
compatible format. (Check with the software
publisher for more detailed information.)
• Discs recorded in Video mode on this unit cannot
record additionally using other DVD recorders.
• Since the recording is made by the variable bit rate
(VBR) method, the actual remaining time for
recording may be a little bit shorter than the
remaining time displayed on the OSD, depending on
the picture you are recording.
• DVD-RW once formatted with other DVD recorders
cannot be recorded on this unit and vice versa.
• The maximum Fast Dubbing speed is up to 4x for
DVD-RW discs and DVD-R discs.
• During Fast Dubbing, the noise from the unit
becomes louder. This is not a malfunction.
Restrictions on Recording
You cannot record copy-protected video or a
programme broadcasted in the NTSC colour system
using this unit. Copy-protected video includes DVD-
Videos and some satellite broadcasts.
If copy-protected material or NTSC signal is detected,
recording will pause or stop automatically and an
error message appears on the screen.
You can only record “Copy-once only” video using a
DVD-RW disc in VR mode with Content Protection for
Recordable Media (CPRM).
When recording a TV broadcast or an external input,
you can display copy control information on the screen.
CPRM is a scrambling copy protection system for the
protection of “copy-once” broadcast programmes.
This unit is CPRM compatible, which means that you
can record copy-once broadcast programmes, but
you cannot make a copy of those recordings. CPRM
recordings can only be played back on DVD players
that are specifically compatible with CPRM.
