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.
Restrictions on video recording
• You cannot record copy-protected video using this
recorder. Copy-protected video includes DVD-Video
discs and some satellite broadcasts. If copy-protected
material is encountered during a recording, recording
will pause or stop automatically and an error message
will be displayed on-screen.
• Video that is ‘copy-once only’ can only be recorded
using a DVD-RW disc in VR mode with CPRM (see
below).
• NTSC format signals from the analog or the DV
inputs is not recorded correctly with this recorder.
• Video signals in SECAM format (from the built-in TV
tuner or from the analog inputs) are recorded in PAL

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.
