Images that cannot be recorded
Some DVD-Video and broadcasts contain copy-restriction signals to
protect copyrights. There are 3 types of copy-restriction signals: “Copy
Free”, “Copy Never” and “Copy Once”.
“Copy Free” (unrestricted recording)
Land-based TV broadcasts and images you record yourself with a video
camera allow unrestricted recording. There are no restrictions on re-
cording.
“Copy Never” (recording prohibited)
• Images that contain the recording prohibited signal cannot be re-
corded.
• If the recording prohibited signal appears halfway through an image
you are recording, recording is paused at that instant. When the re-
cording prohibited signal ends, recording resumes.
• This unit incorporates a built-in copy guard. It cannot record soft-
ware or broadcasted programs that contain copy restriction signals
designed to protect copyright, etc.
“Copy Once” (one-time recordable)
Programs (images) that contain the one-time recordable signal can be
recorded only in the VR mode using a DVD-RW disc that supports
CPRM Ver. 1.1 and Ver 1.2.
The unauthorized recording, use,
distribution, or revision of television
programs, videotapes, DVDs and
other materials, is prohibited under
the Copyright Laws of the United
States and other countries, and
may subject you to civil and/or
criminal liability.

Editing the disc
This section explains how to edit
the recorded contents on DVD-
RWs. However, the items that you
can edit vary with the recording
formats. In VR mode, you can edit
various title menus, whereas in
Video mode, you can edit only a
few items.
Title menu
When the content is recorded, a title name that includes the date, time,
channel number and other information is created automatically.
The title menu can be used when you playback after confirming the
contents (see page 32), or when you check the contents recorded on
the disc.
Original title
The titles explained above are called original titles; these will be added
with every recording. In VR mode, you can do various editing opera-
tions i.e., you can rename the titles or add the chapter marks. In addi-
tion, you can erase the unnecessary titles to increase the disc space.
Playlist
You can create a playlist based on the original titles.
You can combine or erase undesired chapters.
If you create a playlist, it will become the primary list used by the disc.
If you create a playlist to customize your viewing preferences, and
choose to delete it, the original titles will not be affected. It is recom-
mended to create and edit the playlist to prevent important titles from
being erased accidentally.
Editable items
The items that can be edited are different between original title and
playlist.
The items can be edited in each are as follows:
NOTES:
• This unit cannot record or edit a
disc which was recorded or edited
using another DVD recorder.
• You cannot edit or record the disc
on which disc protection is set. In
such a case, make sure that the
disc protection is cancelled before
starting the operation.
• When a scene has been erased,
the selected position for erasing
may vary slightly from the actual
erased position.
Using these editing functions to modify copyrighted content for any
purpose other than your private viewing may be prohibited under
the Copyright Laws of the United States and other countries, and
may subject you to civil and criminal liability.

Video head cleaning
Video head clogging
The video heads are meant by which the DVD/VCR reads the picture from the tape during playback. In the unlikely
event that the heads become dirty enough to be clogged, no picture will be played back. This can easily be
determined if, during playback of a known good tape, there is good sound, but no picture (picture is extremely
snowy). If this is the case, DVD/VCR must checked by qualified service personnel.
NOTES: • DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE
REAR COVER.
• Video heads may eventually wear out and should be replaced when they fail to produce clear pictures.
• To help prevent video head clogging, use only good quality VHS tapes. Discard worn out tapes.
