8.2 Copy Protection
The PMA400 video recording system is designed to respect the copyright protection system. If the source of
your video is copy protected, the PMA400 will record in protected mode. You will see a ”P” icon on the
recording screen (not playback) indicating that the file will be a protected file. Protected files can only be
played back on the PMA400 that created it. The file will not play on a computer. Further, the playback of
protected files will be limited to the built-in LCD screen and not to an external television.
9 VIDEO – Setting the Infrared Emitter Code
This is a one time step to set your PMA400 to send the correct infrared codes
to your video cassette recorder, cable box, or satellite receiver in order that the
PMA400, via its TV cradle, can turn on and off your video device and also
change its channels. If you do not plan on making scheduled recordings, then
you do not need to install the IR emitter or set the infrared emitter code.
Before beginning this procedure of setting the emitter code, your PMA400 must be connected in the TV
Cradle, the IR emitter cable plugged in and placed in front of your tuner’s (VCR, cable box, satellite receiver)
infrared receiver window. See the TV Cradle instructions for the exact placement of the emitter.
