NS-DVDR1 DVD Recorder • When using a DVD-RW disc in Video mode, recording time available will only increase if you erase the last title recorded on the disc. • The Delete Title option in the Title List (Original) menu only hides the title, it does not actually erase the title from the disc and increase the recording time available (except for the last recorded title on a DVD-RW disc in Video mode). • Overwrite recording is available using DVD+RWs. • When using a DVD+R/RW, the recorder will execute the Menu-making operation to update the new title and editing when you remove the disc from the recorder. Recording time and picture quality There are four preset recording quality modes: • XP - Highest quality setting, gives about 1 hour 20 minutes of recording time on a DVD (4.7GB). • SP - Default quality, sufficient for most applications, gives about 2 hours of recording time on a DVD (4.7GB). • LP - Slightly lower video quality, gives about 4 hour of recording time on a DVD disc (4.7GB). • EP - Lowest video quality, gives about 6 hour of recording time on a DVD (4.7GB). You may see a fragmented picture when playing back in EP mode. Restrictions on video recording • You cannot record copy-protected video using your recorder. Copy-protected video includes video DVDs and some satellite broadcasts. If copy-protected material is encountered during a recording, the recording pauses or stops automatically and an error message is displayed on-screen. • Video that is 'copy-once only' can only be recorded using a DVD-RW disc in VR mode with CPRM (see below). CPRM copy protection 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. Your 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-RWs formatted in VR mode and CPRM recordings can only be played on players that are specifically compatible with CPRM.
