Introduction
About this product
Some differences
Playback Restrictions
This DVD recorder is more similar to a computer than it
is to a standard DVD player. In addition to a
This owner’s manual explains the basic instructions for
this recorder. Some DVD video discs are produced in a
manner that allows specific or limited operation during
playback. As such, the recorder may not respond to all
operating commands. This is not a defect in the recorder.
Please refer to the notes on compatible discs later in this
Introduction and to the discussion of DVD playback and
features later in this manual.
microprocessor, it contains a hard disc drive (an HDD),
an operating system, random access memory (RAM),
and a DVD-RAM/R/RW drive. The operating system
includes software stored on the HDD that is transferred
to the RAM when the machine is turned on and at other
times during operation. This transfer can take time.
Thus, when you turn on the DVD recorder, it may be a
minute or so before it is ready to use. Likewise, other
functions may not be performed as quickly as they would
on other AV equipment. In addition, because programs
stored on the DVD-RAM/R/RW drive cannot be accessed
as quickly as those stored on the HDD, accessing those
programs (or deleting a program from a DVD-RAM or
DVD-RW disc) may take more time. Please take these
factors into consideration as you use the DVD recorder.
“
“
” may appear on the TV screen during operation.
” means that the operation is not permitted by the
recorder or the disc.
Recording Restrictions
Copy-protected contents of DVD-Video disc, VIDEO CDs
or audio CDs on the market cannot be copied on this
recorder.
Contents without copy protection should be copied or
edited only in accordance with applicable copyright laws,
which may restrict copying or editing. Contents that
permit single copying (copy once contents) can be
recorded onto the HDD or a CPRM compatible DVD-
RAM, DVD-RW (VR mode) or DVD-R (VR mode). They
cannot be recorded onto a DVD-RW (Video mode) or
DVD-R (Video mode). Copy once contents recorded in
the HDD can be moved to a CPRM compatible DVD-
RAM, DVD-RW or DVD-R, with some dubbing and
editing restrictions.
About the hard disc drive (HDD)
Like any HDD, the HDD in the DVD recorder is a fragile
device that is susceptible to partial or complete failure if it
is jarred or as a result of use over time. It will not last
forever. Therefore, do not use the HDD for longer term
storage of programs you wish to retain. [If portions of the
HDD become damaged, programs recorded on those
portions may exhibit pixelization or block noise when
played back. Repeated playback of the program may
cause the problem to get worse and, eventually, the
program may become unplayable. Accordingly, if you
notice such noise in a program that you want to save,
you should transfer to a recordable DVD disc as soon as
possible.] Recordable DVD discs are also susceptible to
damage if not handled and stored carefully and some or
all of the programs on them may become unplayable.
You can reduce these risks by using high quality DVD
recordable discs and checking their playability from time
to time. If it becomes necessary to service your DVD
recorder, it may be necessary to delete some or all of the
programs on the HDD.
Compatibility
In isolated cases, a disc bearing the DVD or CD logo
may not fully and properly play back all features. This
can be due, among other reasons, to problems and
errors that can occur during the creation or recording of
DVD and other software and the manufacture of software
discs (including blank discs). Moreover, because of
variations in the quality of discs, this recorder may not be
able to record on all discs that bear a DVD-RAM, DVD-R
or DVD-RW logo, but you should not encounter difficulty
if you use only high quality recordable DVD discs.

Introduction
Compatible discs
When you want to play DVD or CD software or copy programmes from the HDD to a recordable DVD,
load an appropriate disc into the recorder. There are many types and formats of discs. Please use the
following information to select an appropriate disc.
Notes
• Handle the disc according to the disc instruction manual.
• Depending on the data recording method or the disc status, playback or recording on this recorder may not be possible, even
if the disc is labeled as below. Toshiba cannot assure that all discs bearing the DVD or CD logos will operate as expected.
Please see the discussion of compatibility on

On DVD-RAM discs
Use only DVD-RAM discs that comply with
DVD-RAM standard Version 2.0, 2.1 or 2.2.
DVD-RAM discs with cartridges are
recommended for recording.
The recorder cannot record on a disc formatted in any
other standard. When using such a disc, initialize it by
using the disc-format function of this recorder.
The recorder may not record, dub, or edit some DVD-
RAM discs, because they are edited/recorded with
another manufacture’s equipment or PC, contain a
large number of titles, or have little remaining capacity.
Also, a DVD-RAM disc may not be edited or recorded
if its title contains still pictures.
Two types of DVD-RAM discs are
available: ones with cartridges and ones
without cartridges. You can use either of
them with this recorder, but the former
ones are recommended.
In order to record highly detailed data, make sure the
disc is clean. DVD-RAM discs with cartridges are
easier to handle in this regard.
Do not open the cartridge shutter. The disc may not
play, or may not be recorded or edited once it
becomes dirty.
There are two types of DVD-RAM cartridges;
removable (TYPE 2/4) and not removable (TYPE 1). It
is recommended you do not remove the disc even
when you can.
DVD-RAM discs formatted in UDF2.0 on a PC are not
compatible with this recorder. Before using these
discs, initialize them on this recorder.
Select a DVD-RAM disc that shows a statement on its
package such as “this disc can be used with video
recorders and drives compatible with 4.7GB DVD-
RAM discs” or “this disc can copy images that permit
single copying.” This recorder complies with current
copyright protection technology and can copy a disc
only when the disc permits copying once. When there
is no indication on the disc, copying will not be
allowed.
Refer to the instruction manual that comes with the
disc if it is absolutely necessary to remove the disc.
Some commercially available cartridge discs cannot
be recorded or edited once the inside discs are
removed.

min.” etc.
available discs)
Discs without cartridges can easily
attract fingerprints and dust, which
is the reason they are not recommended. If you
cannot avoid using them, handle with proper care.
When you write in a title column on a disc, use a pen
with a soft tip. Do not use a pen with a hard tip, such
as a ballpoint pen.
Recording conditions
Video mode cannot record contents with restrictions
on recording (copy once contents). To record such
contents, select a CPRM compatible disc and initialize
it in VR mode before recording. (You cannot initialize
the disc again from VR mode to Video mode, or vice
versa.)

Recording conditions
Video mode cannot record contents with restrictions
on recording (copy once contents). To record such
contents, select a CPRM compatible disc and initialize
it in VR mode before recording. (You can initialize the
disc again either VR mode or Video mode. Initializing
erases all contents in the disc.)
If deterioration in writing area on a disc is advanced by
repeat erasing and recording, the disc may not be
played on other device even if it can be played on this
recorder.

devices such as DVD players.
DVD-R can record only once. Erasing recorded contents is not possible. To play a recoded dsic on other DVD
devices, finalize it on this recorder.
DVD-R (Video mode) has many recording restrictions, such as prohibition to recording copy cone contents. Even a
CPRM compatible DVD-R cannot record copy once contents if it is used in Video mode.
To try copying before to DVD-R or to play on other DVD devices such as DVD players - DVD-RW (Video
mode)
Select DVD-RW (Video mode). You can try copying to test edited contents whether they can be copied to DVD-R.
Erasing recorded contents to record others is possible. Also, you can play a recoded disc on other DVD devices
such as DVD players.
It may be impossible to play on some DVD devices.
Be sure to initialize a disc in VIdeo mode before using. To play a recoded disc on other DVD devices, finalize it on

VR mode in DVD-R/RW (advanced use)
VR mode enables you to experience advanced DVD disc function. There are, however, some restrictions on practical
use. Therefore, this mode is not suitable for beginners of DVD recorders or users who record onto DVD-R/RW for the
purpose of play on other DVD devices.
Read the followings and be sure to confirm the applicability to you, then use this mode.
What is VR mode?
VR mode is recording format with less recording restrictions, and can record copy once contents such as digital
broadcast programs onto CPRM compatible disc. Recordings onto the HDD or DVD-RAM are on this format. Also on
DVD-R/RW this recording format will be available if you initialize it on this recorder. Note that such DVD-R/RW
initialized in VR mode can be played only on DVD devices compatible with VR mode of each disc. (It is recommended
to finalize the DVD-R/RW when you play it on other devices.)
Notes on DVD-R/RW (VR mode)
• To record onto DVD-R/RW in VR mode, be sure to make the disc initializing (logical format) (
mode before recording.
page 26) in VR
• If you do not initialize a DVD-R, recording onto the disc will be in Video mode.
• To record copy once contents, select a new disc labeled “CPRM compatible”.
• Even if a disc is labeled “CPRM compatible” or “VR mode recording compatible”, be sure to initialize it before using
on this recorder.

7PDC
To activate the PDC recording feature to record
the programme or not.
PDC (Programme Delivery Control System)
Programme PDC is a system of telling the recorder
when a programme actually starts. Typically, when
you want to record programme you will tell the
recorder to start recording, probably, five minutes
before the advertized starting time of the
programme and to finish ten minutes or so after the
programme is due to finish. So even if the
programme starts early or finishes late you will
normally still get to see what you wanted to record.
However when live programme over-run or the
day’s television schedule is changed from that
advertized, you may miss the desired programme
which may have been delayed or even cancelled
and the recorder will record the programme even if
it is two or more hours late. With PDC, you enter
the exact start time and the recorder will wait until
the signal is sent to confirm the programme is
starting and the recorder will record the programme
even if it is two or more hours late.

Preparation
• When you record on a DVD-RAM/R/RW disc, load it into the recorder.
– Load a disc which has sufficient remaining space to record the programme.
– Make sure the loaded disc is not write-protected.
Notes
• If a source of high quality sound track such as DVD audio is recorded with this recorder, the sound quality becomes regular
audio CD quality. Refer to the instructions of the connected equipment.
• When you record an external source onto a DVD-R/RW disc (Video mode) or the contents which will be copied to a DVD/R/
RW disc (Video mode) later on, set the connected equipment to output sound you want to record (if selectable such as
multiplex broadcasting), as the recorder records sounds of external source in stereo onto a DVD-R/RW disc, ignoring the
setting of “DVD compatible mode” (
page 28).
• DVD-R/RW discs (Video mode) cannot record contents with copy restriction signal embedded (copy-protected or copy once
contents), the HDD, DVD-RAM disc, CPRM compatible DVD-R/RW (VR mode) can record copy once contents.
• Some satellite programmes via a connected tuner may contain both 4:3 pictures and 16:9 pictures. DVD-R/RW discs (Video
mode) cannot record such contents, under restriction of the DVD-Video standard. To record these programmes, use the HDD
or DVD-RAM discs.

Notes on recording from a connected VTR or camcorder
Check the condition of the source equipment before playing.
Set the equipment in good condition, e.g. clean the head or adjust the tracking, etc. to obtain optimum playback.
Bad conditions may produce noises in playback. These noises may be detected as copy protection signals,
resulting in stop of recording on this recorder.
Play a source in an usual mode. Avoid using any correcting or enhancing features, as they may add signals
which can be detected as copy protection signals.
Source quality or tape condition beyond adjustments on the source equipment may stop a recording on this
recorder.
Do not operate the source equipment during recording on this recorder.
Operations such as pausing, resuming, fast-forwarding (CUE) and fast-reversing (REVIEW), etc. may produce
noises, which may be detected as copy protection signals. Therefore, first start playback on the source
equipment to confirm that the desired source can be played properly, and then start recording on this recorder.
Do not operate the source equipment during recording. After completing the desired scene, stop the recording on
the recorder, and then stop the playback on the source equipment. Delete unnecessary scenes using editing
functions (
page 74). If you want to operate the source equipment during recording, pause or stop the
recording. After operating the source equipment, resume the recording as above.
When recording from a camcorder
Follow the above notes. Be sure to power the camcorder by its AC adapter, not batteries. If batteries are used,
the recording may be finished on the way.

Recording
Others
However a high bit rate does not always mean that the
picture quality is high. The difference between the 1.4
Mbps and 9.2 Mbps is obvious, but when comparing
similar bit rates, the difference may be insignificant.
Generally when you set the bit rate low for longer
recording time, the data volume shortage will result in
a lack of detail information. As a result, the picture
quality is decreased (more noticeable with dynamically
moving images). For example, square noises (block
noise) may occur in a scene with fast action or a
scene with light and shadows, such as a water
surface.
This recorder has several settings, for example 2 hour
recording at “SP” mode or 4 hour recording at “LP”
mode (both assume a blank 4.7 GB DVD-RAM). It is
recommended to consider the “XP” mode as a
standard mode and use the “LP” mode when you want
to record for long time regardless of the picture quality.
If you want to record for about 2 hours or are uncertain
which one to select, select the “AT” mode.
To protect recorded content
You can protect recorded content from unexpected
deletion.
Protection is provided for each title (original).
1) Perform steps 1 and 2 in “Playing recorded
contents (CONTENT MENU)” (
select a title.
page 46) to
2) Press the QUICK MENU button, and press the
buttons to select “Title information”. Then
/
press the ENTER button.
3) Press the QUICK MENU button, and press the
/
buttons to select “Lock” and then press
the ENTER button.
The mark appears.
Notes
• To cancel protection, repeat this procedure at step 3),
select “Unlock”.
• Disc initialization erases all titles on a disc even if they are
protected.
On a blank 4.7 GB DVD-RAM disc, the “AT” mode
automatically sets the appropriate bit rate
corresponded to the recording time from about 1 hour
to up to 2 and a half hours so that you can achieve the
best picture quality. If a part of a DVD-RAM disc has
already been recorded, the “AT” mode sets the bit rate
suitable for the remaining space on the disc. (The
picture quality is determined referring the remaining
space just before recording. When the remaining
space is scarce in the disc, the picture quality may
decrease from what you set beforehand or the
recording may stop halfway.) “AT” mode is available
also on DVD-R/RW recordings.
When you want to record a music program or
animation with high picture quality, it is recommended
that you select the “MN” mode. If you select more than
6 Mbps, you can usually record with considerably
higher picture quality. However the higher you set the
bit rate, the shorter the recording time.
• Executing “All HDD titles delete” (
page 124) erases all
titles on the HDD even if they are protected.
Technical information
About recording time
The recording time of a typical VCR (Video Cassette
Recorder) is determined by the length of a video tape
and recording speed (SP, LP, etc.). Video tapes with
various recording times are available in the market.
On the other hand, the recording time of a DVD-RAM/
R/RW depends on the bit rate (Mbps: amount of data
transmitted per second), which can be varied in
MPEG2 (Moving Picture Experts Group2)
compression technology.
As an example, when you pour water into a bucket
from a faucet, the faster the water flows, the sooner
the bucket is filled with water. On the other hand, the
slower the water flows, the more slowly the bucket is
filled. The DVD-RAM/R/RW is, so to speak, such a
bucket, and the degree you turn the faucet is bit rate,
the time required to fill the bucket with water is the
recording time available for a disc. The higher you set
the bit rate (making much more water flow), the
sooner a disc is filled. Consequently, the recording
time becomes shorter. The lower you set the bit rate,
the longer time it takes to fill a disc.

Editing
Creating your own title
You can edit recorded contents.
Note on deleting unnecessary scenes
It is not recommended that you delete many chapters from titles recorded on the HDD to remove unnecessary
parts of the titles and copy those contents on a DVD-RAM disc. The reason is that discontinuous space inside the
HDD expands and recorded contents are stored in gaps between used locations. Operating this repeatedly makes
a recording area inside the HDD broken down into small and complicated spaces. (It is called fragmentation.) Even
normal operations may get slow. Moreover, available space may not be restored by deleting or the HDD may have
protection disabling playback or recording.
When you want to delete unnecessary parts from titles, collect necessary parts of chapters to make a playlist.
Then copy the playlist and delete the original title or the playlist. For example, make a playlist and copy it to a
DVD-RAM. Then delete original titles on the HDD. It can save time and effort and retain continuity in the HDD
space. However, when moving a copy once program from the HDD to a DVD-RAM disc, delete unnecessary
chapters from original titles. For details (
page 81).
Running “All HDD titles delete” regularly prevents fragmentation from occurring.
In addition, if you select and run “HDD format”, all data on the HDD will be erased. Copy TV programs you want to
save recorded on the HDD from the HDD to a DVD-RAM or DVD-R/RW disc.

A recording makes 1 title, which includes 1 chapter. By dividing it into several chapters, it will be easier
to access a desired scene, and your editing or playback will be much easier.
Simple method
To create chapters in a title, insert a chapter mark. Playback the content, locate a point where you want to divide, then
press the CHP DIVIDE button in the lid. You can insert a chapter mark also while recording, by pressing the CHP
DIVIDE button in the lid. (A chapter will also be placed in the recording when you pause.)
The point divides the chapter (into two). You can create multiple chapters by repeating the above operation.
Notes
• Chapters cannot be created in the following modes:
Dubbing / Fast-reverse, Fast-forward / Slow-motion
• You cannot divide a title of a DVD-R/RW disc (Video mode) into chapters. It is possible to create chapters in a DVD-R/RW
disc (Video mode) in the following ways.
• By pressing the CHP DIVIDE button during recording at the desired points.
• By selecting an option that inserts chapter marks automatically during recording at regular intervals. (
page 28)
• Recording a programme onto the HDD to make chapter divisions on it, then dubbing the title to a DVD-R/RW (Video mode).
Precise method
If you want to modify the chapter division, or want to place a chapter mark more precisely monitoring the
frame counter, follow the procedures below.

Notes
Notes on contents with 4:3 and 16:9 sizes
mixed which will be copied to DVD-R/RW
(Video mode)
Some content from external sources may contain 4:3
and 16:9 pictures.
• This recorder supports a limited number of chapters on a
disc. If exceeded, a message appears. In this event,
reduce the number of chapters by merging chapters. (
page 81)
• Making chapters in a title (Original) does not affect the
related titles (Playlist).
• There may be a small difference between a location you
marked and a chapter division actually played.
• Pausing a recording automatically creates a chapter
division.
DVD-R/RW (Video mode) format cannot record
contents in different picture sizes.
When you create chapters in such content to copy
them onto DVD-R/RW (Video mode), find a point
where 4:3 and 16:9 switches in “Aspect Ratio” and
insert a chapter mark there, so that each chapter is
either in 4:3 or 16:9 picture size.
There may be a case that the indicated “Aspect
Ratio” differs from the actual picture, for example
“4:3” displayed at a scene in 16:9 film. This is not a
defect, as picture size is registered per unit of 15
frames (0.5 second), which is called GOP, and
change of picture size within a GOP is disregarded.
• During relief recording (
page 36), a chapter division is
automatically created at the start point of relief record.
• If you create chapters in a title which is stored in the HDD
and copy the title to a DVD-R/RW (Video mode), the
chapter divisions may shift.
Creating chapters automatically
You can create chapter marks from the beginning of
a title at regular intervals automatically. (Chapter
marks are added to those already existing.)

sports games.

“Copy” and “Move”
• If either the HDD or DVD-RAM is not in optimum physical
condition, an error may occur when you execute “Move”
and some titles or chapters may be lost. If you want to

recommended for safety that you first “Copy” them to the
opposite drive and confirm they have been copied properly.
Then delete the titles and chapters to which you have
executed “Move”.
This recorder’s “Dubbing” has the following two
definitions:
Copy:
The original programme remains after the operation
is completed.
Move:
The moved programme will be erased from the

message.
• Depending on the content, associated information such as
data management may not be copied/moved.

• “High-speed dubbing” is not available between the HDD and a DVD-R/RW (Video mode) recorded on other devices.
• “High-speed dubbing” is not available when dubbing to a finalized DVD-R/RW.
• “Record to HDD” is not available on an unfinalized DVD-R/RW (Video mode) which was recorded on other devices.
• The feature for dubbing of contents in folders (see below) does not work on “Record to HDD”.
Feature for dubbing of contents in folders
It is not possible to designate a receiving a folder
when dubbing contents in a folder. However, if you
beforehand make a folder of the same name on the
receiving disc, the contents will be dubbed to the
folder. For details, see “Creating folders” (
51).
page
•
When a receiving disc is the HDD and there is no
folder of the same name on it, the recorder
automatically makes a folder of the same name on
the HDD and dubs contents to it. If a folder cannot
be made for the reason that number of folders
already reached the limit, etc., contents are dubbed
to the ROOT on the HDD.
•
When a receiving disc is a DVD-RAM or DVD-R/
RW (VR mode) and there is no folder of the same
name on it, contents are dubbed to the ROOT on
the HDD.

Creating a DVD-Video using DVD-R/RW
Content stored on the HDD of the recorder can be edited and copied to a DVD-R, a popular media for
distribution, and played on a compatible DVD video player. Rewriteable DVD-RW are also available.
Caution
•
Beforehand confirm the content in the disc.
If you use a DVD-R, prepare a new one. This DVD-Video creation procedure is possible only once per disc on
this recorder. Once you have copied to a DVD-R, you cannot redo it, add, delete, or correct the copied contents
in the disc. If you start copying then cancel the job, you cannot re-use the DVD-R.
If you use a DVD-RW, be sure to confirm contents in it. This procedure overwrites a whole disc, and all contents
in a DVD-RW will be lost. If you want to add contents to a DVD-RW, do not use this procedure. Record directly or
make a dubbing to the DVD-RW, then execute the finalization (
page 92). This procedure includes the
finalizing process, and you will not be able to add, delete, or correct contents to a DVD-RW later, as it will have
been finalized. If a finalized DVD-RW has remaining space, you can add contents there if you cancel the
finalizing process of the DVD-RW (
page 93).
•
Do not start copying to a DVD-R/RW when a programmed recording is scheduled to begin shortly.
Copying entirely to a DVD-R/RW will take 1 hour and a half (variable depending on the contents). (This does not
include time for “Writing Test”. This option requires more time. Actual time for “Writing Test” depends on the
contents to test, and may be longer than the playing time of the contents if the disc contains too little contents or
too many quality and picture settings, etc.)
If a start time of a programmed recording comes during this procedure, the recording is made onto the HDD.
However, while making a menu theme, the recording is not executed. Also, programmed recordings to DVD
media with “Off” setting of “Relief recording” (
page 123) are not executed.
If a programmed recording starts during this procedure, you cannot continue to make one more discs after
completion of the first disc.
•
Ensure the compatibility of a disc.
Refer to the
page 6.
A finalized DVD-RW (Video mode) can be used, but will be initialized.
*
Discs made by this procedure will comply with the DVD-Video standard. However, it is not guaranteed to play
properly on all DVD video players (including TOSHIBA products).
Depending on the disc, there may be a difference of data capacity between DVD-R and DVD-RW. It may be
possible that contents you have just recorded onto a DVD-R cannot be recorded onto a DVD-RW. (DVD-RW
capacity may be smaller.)
•
Follow the instructions on handling of the disc.
Preparation
• Record contents which you want to copy to DVD-R/RW to make DVD-Video, to the HDD with the following settings:
- “DVD compatible mode” (
page 28): “On (Mode I)” or “On (Mode II)”.
• Load a new DVD-R or a DVD-RW. (Follow the instructions on handling of the disc.)
• Press the HDD button to select the HDD mode.
Notes
• If you recorded a title while setting “DVD compatible mode” (
page 28) to “Off” or you used another recorder to record a
title in a DVD-RAM disc, and you want to copy such a title to a DVD-R/RW to create a DVD-Video, first set “DVD compatible
mode” to “On (Mode I)” or “On (Mode II)” then execute the procedure of dubbing (
page 87).
• Depending on the disc, DVD-R 4X speed compatibility may be disabled.

Notes
Using a favorite scene as a menu
• The number of titles that you can write on a DVD-R/RW
(Video mode) is limited (99 titles. Each title should have 99
chapters or less). If you have a large number of titles or
chapters, you may not be able to write due to the limitation
of the DVD specifications. Also, even if the number of titles
and chapters is within the limit, you may not be able to
write if you have a large number of menu items.
• Due to standard differences, the number of chapters and
their position may change slightly after DVD-Video
creation. (For chapters generated on the DVD-R/RW
(Video mode), the same thumbnail for the Original chapter
is displayed.)
You can select favorite scenes from the recorded
contents and use them as menus of DVD-Video

Number of times of DVD-R (VR mode) editing
You can create chapters and make a Playlist using
recorded contents in DVD-R (VR mode), as well as
DVD-RAM or DVD-RW (VR mode). However, DVD-R
(VR mode), different from DVD-RAM or DVD-R/RW
(VR mode), has a limit in the number of times it can be
edited, depending on the remaining disc space or the
number of times of loading.
The number of times of DVD-R (VR mode) depends
on the remaining disc space. If the disc has little
space, a message appears when it is loaded, and tells
you that there are only a few times of editing left.
The number is consumed each time of creating
chapters or flashing of “Loading” icon.
Disc finalizing is available even on a disc can no
longer be edited.
Finalizing of DVD-R, different from on DVD-RW,
cannot be cancelled once executed even if there is
remaining space in the disc,
Additionally, DVD-R (VR mode) cannot restore the
disc space even after recorded content is deleted.

Editing/dubbing of copy-once content
Some programmes may contain copy control signals
to restrict recording only once for the purpose of
protecting the copyright owners. (Copy-once content)
To record these programmes on this recorder, comply
with the following restrictions.
Copy-once content, recorded on the HDD
cannot be copied to DVD-R/RW (Video mode).
DVD-R/RW (Video mode) format cannot record copy-
once content. To save these contents, load a CPRM
compatible DVD-RAM or DVD-R/RW (VR mode) and
move them to it.
Copy-once content, recorded on a DVD disc
cannot be moved to the HDD.
Once recorded, copy-once content cannot be copied
again. The only option left is moving from the HDD to
a DVD-RAM or DVD-R/RW. Moving from a DVD disc
to the HDD is not permitted.
Copy-once content, recorded on a DVD disc
cannot be played on a PC.
Once recorded, copy-once content cannot be copied
again. DVD standard saves the data by the copy
protection system, called CPRM. A PC is required to
be equipped with CPRM compatible playback software
program and CPRM compatible disc drive to play a
DVD disc which contains copy-once content.
Copy-once content takes more time to display
thumbnails on CONTENT MENU or EDIT MENU.
Once recorded, copy-once content cannot be copied
again. The recorder does not store thumbnails of
copy-once content, different from normal content.
Therefore, each time a menu is opened the recorder
searches thumbnails among recorded titles. This is the
reason why it takes more time to display thumbnails of
copy-once content.
