About HDD recording

Recording to the internal hard disk drive (HDD) is basically similar to recording to a VR mode DVD-RW disc. You have the full choice of recording quality options, including the manual mode, and of course you can record, erase and re-record as many times as you like. The capacity of the hard disk drive means that you can store many hours of video on it, even in the higher quality recording modes. To help you organize the contents, the HDD is divided into ten genre. You can name and use these genres as you likefor example, you might have a genre for movies, another for TV shows, and one for camcorder recordings.
Recording time and picture quality
There are four preset recording quality modes: HQ Highest quality setting, gives about 1 hour of recording time on a DVD (4.7GB). SQ Default quality, sufficient for most applications, gives about 2 hours of recording time on a DVD (4.7GB).

Restrictions on copying

Some video material is copy-once protected. This means that it can be recorded to HDD, but it cannot then be freely copied again. If you want to transfer copy-once protected material from HDD to DVD, youll need to use a VR mode DVD-RW disc compatible with CPRM Ver. 1.1, and the following restrictions apply: After copying a copy-once protected title to DVD it is automatically erased from the HDD. It is not therefore possible to copy a locked title that is copy-once protected. You can identify copy-once protected material during playback by displaying disc information on-screen. A media in NTSC format cannot be copied.

Fast copying

Copying between DVD and HDD is a completely digital process and therefore involves no loss of quality in the audio or video. This means that you can transfer back and forth without having to worry about the quality getting worse with each copy generation. It also means that copying can be carried out at the maximum speed possible. When copying from HDD to DVD, the speed of copying depends on the recording mode and the kind of DVD disc youre using.

What is CPRM?

CPRM is a copy protection system (with scramble system) only allowing the recording of copy once broadcast 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 formatted in VR mode, and CPRM recordings can only be played on players that are specifically compatible with CPRM.
