Concerning Copy Control Signals
TV broadcasts that contain copy control signals may have
one of the following three signal types, Copy-Free, Copy-
Once and Copy-Never. If you want to record a copy-once
type program, use DVD-RW with CPRM in VR Mode or
DVD-RAM discs.
Once “Copy Once” has been recorded, additional recording
cannot be performed.
* compatible with CPRM.
- Content Protection for Recordable Media (CPRM)
CPRM is a mechanism that ties a recording to the
media on which it is recorded. It is supported by some
DVD recorders, but not by many DVD players. Each
blank recordable DVD has a unique 64-bit media ID
etched in the BCA(Burst Cutting Area). When protected
content is recorded onto the disc, it can be encrypted
with a 56-bit C2 (Cryptomeria) cipher derived from the
media ID. During playback, the ID is read from the BCA
and used to generate a key to decrypt the contents of
the disc. If the contents of the disc are copied to other
media, the ID will be absent or wrong and the data will
not be decryptable.
Recording the Current
Channel you are watching
1. Check to make sure the antenna cable is connected.

DVD-RAM/DVD±RW/+R discs should be formatted or
