using a DVD-RW disc in VR mode with CPRM (see

What is ‘CPRM’?
CPRM is a copy protection system (with scramble sys-
tem) only allowing the recording of ‘copy once’ broad-
cast 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 DVD-RW discs format-
ted in VR mode, and CPRM recordings can only be
played on players that are specifically compatible with
CPRM.

Playing Your Recordings on Other DVD
Players (Finalizing a Disc)
Most regular DVD players can play finalized discs
recorded in Video mode. A small number of players can
also play DVD-RW discs recorded in VR mode, finalized
or not. Check the manual that came with the other play-
er to check what kinds of discs it will play.
Finalizing ‘fixes’ the recordings in place so that the disc
can be played on a regular DVD player or computer
equipped with a suitable DVD-ROM drive.
Finalizing a Video mode disc creates a menu screen for
navigating the disc. This is accessed by pressing
MENU/LIST or TITLE.
To finalize a disc, refer to
