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 DVR or VR mode
DVD-RW disc, and CPRM recordings can only be
played back on DVD players that are compatible with
CPRM.

About DVR (HDD)
DVR is a special component which has high recording densi-
ty and is suited for long-time recording or high-speed cueing
but by contrast, has many factors which can cause breakage.
Use DVR on the premise that you should dub the recorded
programs to a DVD disc or a videotape to protect your pre-
cious videos.
DVR is a temporary storage location.
DVR 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 DVR.
If there is mechanical trouble with the DVR, grinding or oth-
er 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 DVR may not be used at all. If
you notice these symptoms of a failing DVR, promptly dub
the data to a DVD disc or a videotape.
When an DVR fails, recovery of recorded content (data)
may be impossible.
About the remaining capacity of DVR record-
ing time:
In recording to DVR, 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 DVR, ensure there
is sufficient space on the DVR by deleting unnecessary titles
in advance. (Remaining capacity will not increase if you only
delete Playlists.)
