• Playlist content refers to the edited version of the disc; how the Original content is to be played.

finalization it will not be playable on another player.

ized, you can play, record additionally or edit discs  
recorded inVideo mode with this unit.

external input, you can display copy control informa-  
tion on screen.

CPRM is a copy protection system with scram-  
ble system regarding the recording of “copy  
once” broadcast programs. CPRM stands for  
Content Protection for Recordable Media.  
This unit is CPRM compatible, which means  
that you can record copy-once broadcast pro-  
grams, but you cannot then make a copy of  
those recordings. CPRM recordings can only be  
made on DVD-RW discs formatted inVR  
mode, and CPRM recordings can only be played  
on players that are specifically compatible with  
CPRM.
