Recording TV audio channels
This recorder can record either NICAM or regular audio.
If the NICAM setting (page 21) is set to Auto, then if the
broadcast is NICAM, you can record the NICAM audio.
If the broadcast is non-NICAM, the regular audio is
always recorded.

• You cannot record copy-protected video using this

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.
