Copyright protection system
To play back the digital video images of a DVD via an HDMI
connection, it is necessary that both the player and the display
device (or an AV amplifier) support a copyright protection
system called HDCP (high-bandwidth digital content
protection system). HDCP is copy protection technology that
comprises data encryption and authentication of the
connected AV device. This unit supports HDCP. Please read
the operating instructions of your display device (or AV
amplifier) for more information.

EN

Note
• Because HDMI is an evolving technology, it is possible that
some devices with an HDMI input may not operate properly
with this unit.
• When using an HDCP-incompatible display device, the
image will not be viewed properly.
• Among the devices that support HDMI, some devices can
control other devices via the HDMI connector; however, this
unit cannot be controlled by another device via the HDMI
connector.
• The audio signals from the HDMI connector (including the
sampling frequency, the number of channels and bit length)
may be limited by the device that is connected.
• Among the monitors that support HDMI, some do not
support audio output (for example, projectors). In
connections with device such as this unit, audio signals are
not output from the HDMI output connector.
• When this unit’s HDMI connector is connected to a DVI-D
compatible monitor (HDCP compatible) with an HDMI-DVI
conversion cable, the signals are output in digital RGB.
• If the connected equipment is not compatible with HDMI
BITSTREAM, DTS sound will not be output.
• When the power failure occurs, or when you unplug the unit,
some problems in the HDMI setting might occur.
Please check and set the HDMI setting again.

Restrictions on Recording

Information on DVD Recording
Type of Discs
This unit can record on DVD-RW/-R discs and DVD+RW/+R
discs.
DVD-R/+R discs allow you to record programmes only once,
and the recorded contents can be erased although the space
left on the disc does not change.
DVD-RW/+RW discs allow you to record programmes
repeatedly, and the recorded contents can be erased.
There are 3 recording formats: VR mode, video mode and
+VR mode. VR and video modes are available for DVD-RW
discs while as only video mode is available for DVD-R discs.
+VR mode is available for DVD+RW/+R discs.
Video mode is the same recording format as used on the prerecorded DVD-videos you purchase in local shops. You can
play back the discs recorded in this format in most of the DVD
players. You will need to finalise such discs (see page 45)
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.
VR mode offers advanced editing, and you can record and
edit material repeatedly, however it is playable only on VR
mode compatible unit. Finalisation is recommended before
playing them back in other unit.
+VR mode is a recording format for DVD+RW/+R disc. +VR
mode offers basic editing, and it is playable in most DVD
players. Finalisation is recommended before playing them
back in other unit.

You cannot record copy-protected video using this unit. Copyprotected 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) or internal HDD.
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.

Information on Copy Control
Some satellite broadcasts include copy-protected information.
If you want to record them, refer to the following.

• If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it is

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

HDD is a special device which has high recording density and
is suited for long-time recording or high-speed cueing but by
contrast, has many factors which can cause breakage. Use
HDD on the premise that you should dub the recorded
programmes to a DVD disc to protect your precious videos.

Function Setup

Be sure to dub (back up) data promptly if you find
abnormalities in HDD:
If there is mechanical trouble with the HDD, grinding or other
sounds may be heard or blocky noise may appear on the
image. If you continue to use as it is, deterioration may
continue and eventually the HDD may not be used at all. If you
notice these symptoms of a failing HDD, promptly dub the
data to a DVD disc.
When an HDD fails, recovery of recorded content (data) may
be impossible.
About the remaining capacity of HDD recording time:
In recording to HDD, the Remaining Capacity Display may
differ from the actual recordable time as this unit adopts
Variable Bit Rate encoding, which varies the recording
(storage) amount of data in conformity with the amount of
information in the video signal. Before recording to the HDD,
ensure there is sufficient space on the HDD by deleting
unnecessary titles in advance. (Remaining capacity will not
increase if you only delete Playlists.)

✔

Recording

HDD is a temporary storage location:
HDD is not a permanent storage location of the recorded
contents. Be sure to use it as a temporary storage location
until you watch the programmes once, edit them, or dub them
to a DVD disc.

Alternate recording (DVD only)...
If there is no recordable disc in the unit, if the disc does not
have enough space to complete the recording, or if the
material is “copy-once” programme and prohibited to be
recorded on a DVD in the unit, the unit will detect it and
automatically record to the HDD even when DVD is selected
as the recording media. If the available space on the HDD is
less than that of DVD, the unit will not perform the alternate
recording. This feature is available only for timer recording.
Not available for one-touch timer recording.

PDC (Programme Delivery Control)
The Programme Delivery Control (PDC) assures that the TV
programmes you have programmed for timer recording are
recorded exactly from beginning to end, even if the actual
broadcasting time differs from the scheduled time due to a
delayed start or extension of the programme duration.
Furthermore, if a programme is interrupted, the recording will
also be interrupted automatically and resumed when the
programme starts again.
If the PDC signal drops out because the broadcast signal is
weak, or if a broadcasting station does not transmit a regular
PDC signal, the timer recording is performed in normal mode
(without PDC) even if it was programmed for PDC. If the
starting time of the PDC timer recording is between 0:00 and
3:59 on a given day, the PDC function will operate from 20:00
on the previous day to 4:00 on the next day. If the starting time
of the PDC timer recording is between 4:00 and 23:59 on a
given day, the PDC function will operate from 0:00 on the
given day to 4:00 on the next day. This means that if the
relevant programme is broadcasted within this period, it is
recorded correctly. If the timer is not programmed correctly,
the incorrect timer setting stays in effect unless you cancel it.
To cancel an incorrect timer setting, refer to “Checking,
Cancelling or Correcting the Timer Programming Information”
on this page.

Note
• This feature is only available for analogue channels.
• If DVB channels have been stored in this unit, you cannot
select PDC on.
