discs and some satellite broadcasts. If copy-
protected material is encountered during a

error message will be displayed on-screen.
• Video that is ‘copy-once only’ can only be recorded on
a DVD-RW disc in VR mode (see below).
• When recording a TV broadcast or through an
external input, you can display copy control
information on screen. (see
Displaying disc
information on-screen
on page 25).
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 recorder 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 CPRM-compatible DVD-
RW (ver. 1.1 or higher) discs formatted in VR mode.
DVD CPRM recordings can only be played on players that
are specifically compatible with CPRM.
