video codec from DivX, Inc. This recorder can play

DivX video files burned on CD-R/-RW/-ROM discs.

DivX video files are called "Titles." When naming files/
titles on a CD-R/-RW disc prior to burning, keep in mind
that by default they will be played in alphabetical order.

the recorder to recognize DivX video files).

DivX

VOD content

In order to play DivX VOD (video on demand) content on
this recorder, you first need to register the recorder with
your DivX VOD content provider. You do this by
generating a DivX VOD registration code, which you
submit to your provider.

Some DivX VOD content may only be playable a fixed
number of times. When you load a disc containing this
type of DivX VOD content, the remaining number of plays
is shown on-screen and you then have the option of
playing the disc (thereby using up one of the remaining
plays), or stopping. If you load a disc that contains
expired DivX VOD content (for example, content that has
zero remaining plays), the message

Rental Expired

displayed.

If your DivX VOD content allows an unlimited number of
plays, then you may load the disc into your recorder and
play the content as often as you like, and no message will
be displayed.

Important

• DivX VOD content is protected by a DRM (Digital

Rights Management) system. This restricts playback
of content to specific, registered devices.

• If you load a disc that contains DivX VOD content not

authorized for this recorder, the message

Authorization Error

is displayed and the content

will not play.

• Resetting the recorder (as described in

Resetting the

recorder

on page 153) will not cause you to lose your

registration code.

Note

1 DRM (digital rights management) copy protection is a technology designed to prevent unauthorized copying by restricting playback, etc. of

compressed audio files on devices other than the PC (or other recording equipment) used to record it. For detailed information, please see
the instruction manuals or help files that came with your PC and/or software.
