this unit. DVD-R/-RW(V) is the most common medium.

CPRM (Content Protection for Recordable Media)
This unit is compatible with the CPRM copy-protection system for recordable media. 
When using a CPRM-compatible disc, a programme can be recorded once. 
Programmes broadcast with this copy-protection system cannot be recorded to 
DVD-R or 2.8 GB DVD-RAM.

Protect your recordings from accidental deletion or overwriting.

Formatting
If using an unformatted disc, you must format it before the first recording. Formatting 
prepares the media, such as a recordable DVD-RAM, for recording. 
All data is irreversibly erased.
For recording
The recording is saved to free areas on the disc. If there is no more space left on the 
disc, you must delete recordings or use a new disc. 
Continuous recording or playback of both sides of a double-sided disc is not possible. 
After the end of the recording, the unit needs approx. 30 seconds to record data for 
recording management. 
* Only if Recording time in EP mode is set 
to [EP ( 6 Hours )] in the Setup menu.
