If you select Yes, disc will be formatted in VR mode.

COPY PROTECTION

Many DVD discs are encoded with copy protection. Because of this, you should only connect your DVD Recorder & VCR directly to your TV, not to a VCR.

This product incorporates copyright protection technology that is protected by methods claims of certain U.S. patents and other intellectual property rights owned by Macrovision Corporation and other rights owners. Use of this copyright protection technology must be authorized by Macrovision Corporation, and is intended for home and other limited viewing uses only unless otherwise authorized by Macrovision Corporation. Reverse engineering or disassembly is prohibited.

DVD-RW (VR mode)

- This is a format that is used for recording data on DVD-RW disc. You can record multiple titles, edit, delete, partial delete, create a playlist, etc. - A disc that is recorded in this mode may not be played by existing DVD players.
DVD-RW (Video mode) - This is a format that is used for recording data on a
DVD-RW or DVD-R disc. The disc can be played by an existing DVD player once it has been finalized. - If a disc that has been recorded in Video mode by a different manufacturer's recorder but has not been finalized it cannot be played or additionally be recorded by this recorder.
Protection Program-protection: See page 72 Locking a Title Disc-protection: See page 85 Disc Protection
DVD-RAM/DVDRW/DVDR discs that are incompatible with the DVD-VIDEO format cannot be played with this product.
DVD+RW Disc Playback and Recording
With DVD+RW discs, there is no difference between
DVD-Video format (Video mode) and DVD-Video Recording format (VR mode). You can make your own chapters on DVD+RWs and edit them using the Chapter Edit menu. Finalizing is generally unnecessary when using a DVD+RW disc.

Using a DVDRW/+R

When an unused DVDRW/+R disc is first inserted,
the message "Uninitialized Disc. Do you want to initialize this disc?" will be displayed. If you select Yes, initializing will be start. DVD-RW disc can be formatted in either DVD-Video format (Video mode) or DVD-Video Recording format (VR mode) With DVD+RW discs, there is no difference between DVD-Video format (Video mode) and DVD-Video Recording format (VR mode).

Step 5

Editing a recorded disc
Editing on discs is easier than conventional video tapes. The recorder supports many different edit functions, possible only with DVDs. With a simple and easy edit menu, you can operate various edit functions, such as delete, copy, rename, lock, etc., on a recorded title.

Using a DVD-R

Initializing disc is unnecessary and only V mode Recording is supported. You can play this type of disc on various DVD components only when they have been finalized.
Creating a playlist (DVD-RAM/-RW in VR mode)
With this recorder, you can create a new playlist on the same disc and edit it without changing the original recording.
You can only use either the VR or Video mode on a DVD-RW, but not both at the same time. You can format a DVD-RW to V or VR mode using disc manager. It should be noted that the disc's data will be lost when changing formats.

Step 6

Finalizing & Playing on other DVD components
To play your DVD on other DVD players, finalizing may be necessary. First, finish all editing and recording operations, then finalize the disc.
When using a DVD-RW disc in VR Mode
Although finalizing is generally unnecessary when playing the disc on a VR Mode compatible component, a finalized disc should be used for playback.
When using a DVD-RW disc in Video Mode
The disc should be finalized first to enable playback on anything other than this recorder. No more editing or recording can be made on the disc once it has been finalized.

Unrecordable pictures

Video with copy protection cannot be recorded on this DVD Recorder & VCR. When the DVD Recorder & VCR receives a copy- guard signal while recording, recording stops and the following message appears on the screen.
You cannot record copy protected movie.
Concerning Copy Control Signals
TV broadcasts that contain copy control signals may have one of the following three signal types, Copy-Free, Copy-Once and Copy-Never. If you want to record a copy-once type programme, use DVD-RW with CPRM in VR Mode AND DVD-RAM discs. Signal type CopyFree O O O O Copy-Once O* Copy-Never -
DVD-RAM (Ver.2.0) DVD+RW DVD+R DVD-RW (Ver.1.1) DVD-RW (Ver.1.1) with CPRM VR mode V mode DVD-R
Once Copy Once has been recorded, recording cannot be done anymore.
Content Protection for Recordable Media (CPRM)
CPRM is a mechanism that ties a recording to the media on which it is recorded. It is supported by some DVD Recorders & VCR, but not by many DVD players. Each blank recordable DVD has a unique 64-bit media ID etched in the BCA. When protected content is recorded onto the disc, it can be encrypted with a 56-bit C2 (Cryptomeria) cipher derived from the media ID. During playback, the ID is read from the BCA and used to generate a key to decrypt the contents of the disc. If the contents of the disc are copied to other media, the ID will be absent or wrong and the data will not be decryptable.
