COPY PROTECTION
The ARCHOS recording system is designed to respect the Macrovision™ copyright protection system.
If the source of your video is copy-protected, the device will record in protected mode.
You will see a ‘P’ icon on the recording screen (not during playback), indicating that the le will be a protect-
ed le.
Protected les can only be played back on the ARCHOS device that created them, and not on a computer.
The playback of protected les is also limited to the built-in LCD screen and cannot be displayed on an exter-
nal television.
