INFORMATION ON DVD RECORDING
You can select a recording mode among 5 options, and 
the recording time will depend on the recording mode 
you select as follows.
Recording modeRecording time
Video/
Sound Quality
12cm 8cm
XP 60 min
 18 min
SP120 min 36 min
LP240 min 72 min
EP 360 min 108 min
SLP 480 min 144 min
•  The recording times listed above are estimates and are 
for reference purposes only. Actual recording times may 
vary.
•  The audio and video quality of content being recorded  may differ depending on the recording mode/recording 
time chosen.
 Recording  Mode
You cannot record copy-protected program using this 
unit. Copy-protected video signal is included in DVD-
videos, some satellite broadcasts, some pay-per-view 
stations and some “premium” stations.
If copy-protected material is detected, recording will 
pause or stop automatically and an error message 
appears on the screen.
“Copy-once only” video can only be recorded to CPRM 
compatible DVD-RW formatted in VR mode.
What is “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 unit is CPRM compatible, which means that you can 
record copy-once broadcast programs, but you cannot 
make another copy of those recordings. CPRM recordings 
can only be made on CPRM compatible DVD-RW format-
ted in VR mode, and CPRM recordings can only be played 
back on DVD players that are specifically compatible with 
CPRM.
Making discs playable in other DVD players (Finalize)For DVD-RW/-R, it is necessary to finalize the disc after 
recording, in order to play back the disc on other 
DVD players. (Refer to pages 35-37.) For DVD+RW/+R, it is 
recommended to finalize the disc in order to make the 
disc more compatible to other DVD player. When video 
and +VR mode disc are finalized, a title menu is created. 
You cannot finalize discs in other DVD recorders.
Restrictions on Recording
Note
•  This unit cannot record to CD-RW or CD-R.
•  All high definition pictures will be down converted to  the standard definition pictures when they are 
recorded on this unit.
•  DVD-RW/-R, DVD+RW/+R and CD-RW/-R recorded on  a personal computer or a DVD or CD recorder may 
not be played back if the disc is damaged or dirty or 
if there is condensation on the player’s lens.
•  If you record a disc using a personal computer, even  if it is recorded in a compatible format it may not be 
played back or dubbed because of the settings of the 
application software used to create the disc. (Check 
with the software publisher for more detailed 
information.)
•  Discs recorded in video mode on this unit cannot  record additional information using other DVD 
recorders.
•  Since the recording is made by the VBR (variable bit  rate) method, depending on the picture you are 
recording, the actual remaining time for recording 
may be a little shorter than the remaining time 
displayed on the TV screen.
