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 programme, use DVD-RW with CPRM in VR Mode and
DVD-RAM.
Once
Copy Once
has been recorded, additional record-
ing cannot be performed.
This * marked parts are 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. 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
programme you are watching
1. Check the antenna cable is connected.
2. Check the remaining time on the disc.
DVD-RAM/-RW discs should be formatted in advance
before beginning recording. Most new discs are sold
unformatted. Make sure to format your unformatted
discs before recording.
