Video mode and VR (Video Recording) mode
Video mode is the same recording format as used 
on the pre-recorded DVD-Videos you purchase 
in local shops, so you can play back the discs 
recorded in this format in most DVD players. 
You will need to finalise such discs (see pages 
40-41) before playing them back in other DVD 
players. Unless finalised, you can record additional 
materials or edit discs recorded in Video mode 
with this unit.
VR (Video Recording) mode is a basic recording 
format for DVD-RW discs. You can record and 
edit material repeatedly. It is impossible to record 
additional materials on a disc formatted in VR 
mode and already recorded in another video 
system other than PAL, such as NTSC.

DVD players bearing the 

 logo are capable 

of playing back DVD-RW discs recorded in VR 
mode.

sided 12cm / 8cm disc. The recording times are 
estimates and actual recording time may differ.

•  The audio and video quality becomes poorer as 

the recording time gets longer.

You cannot record copy-protected video using this 
unit. Copy-protected video includes DVD-Videos 
and some satellite broadcasts.
If copy-protected material is detected, recording 
will pause or stop automatically and an error 
message appears on the screen.
You can only record “Copy-once only” video 
using a DVD-RW disc in VR mode with Content 
Protection for Recordable Media (CPRM).
When recording a TV broadcast or an external 
input, you can display copy control information on 
the screen.
CPRM is a scrambling copy protection system 
for the protection of “copy-once” broadcast 
programmes. This unit is CPRM compatible, which 
means that you can record copy-once broadcast 
programmes, but you cannot then make a copy 
of those recordings. CPRM recordings can only be 
played back on DVD players that are specifically 
compatible with CPRM.
