■ Finalize - This closes the DVD-RW/-R so no additional recording can be done. ■ Unfinalize - This allows additional recording on a DVD-RW disc originally recorded on the DVD-VR350. - A DVD-RW disc that has been recorded by DAO(Disc At Once) in a PC cannot be unfinalized. - A DVD-RW disc that has been recorded in Video Mode of a different manufacturer's recorder cannot be unfinalized. - A DVD-R disc cannot be unfinalized.
DVD-RAM Since available functions differ depending on the disc type, select a disc that best fits your preference. When you insert an unused disc, the following message appears. Unformatted Disc Do you want to format this disc?

• The dual layer DVD-Rs have approximately double the capacity of single layer DVD-Rs. (See page 38.)
You cannot record copy protected movie.
Pictures 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 (to the left) appears on the screen.
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 program, use a DVD-RW with CPRM in VR Mode or DVD-RAM discs. ('O' : Supported, '-' : Not Supported) Copy-Free
Once “Copy Once” has been recorded, additional recordings cannot be performed. * compatible with CPRM.
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 Recorder & VCR, but not by many DVD players. Each blank recordable DVD has a unique 64-bit media ID etched in the BCA(Burst Cutting Area). 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.
