Why do I get a “COPY PROTECTED” message on the screen when I try to record certain shows with my DVD recorder (for models DR-MV7, DR-MV77, DR-MV78, DR-MV79, DR-MV99 or DR-MV100)?

By encrypting the signal, broadcasters (TV stations) or distributors (Cable or Satellite Company) can limit or prevent recording of certain TV shows or movies. Most DVD recorders made after 2005 are CPRM compliant (Content Protected for Removable Media) and will detect a “copy protected” encryption signal. If copying has been limited (copy-once) the program can only be recorded onto a CPRM compliant disc i.e. DVD-RW formatted in VR mode. This disc cannot be copied and can only be played back on a CPRM compliant device. If recording is prevented altogether, even using CPRM compatible disc will not allow recording to be done. Currently there is no indication available to tell if recording of specific program is restricted in any way. JVC disc VD-W47DU-NB is a CPRM compatible DVD-RW: check link “Purchase Accessories” or call 1-800-252-5722 opt 3 to purchase it.
