DVD copy protection
In accordance with the DVD standard, your DVD player is equipped with a Copy Protection system, which can be triggered
on and off by the DVD disc itself, in order to make any recording of the concerned DVD disc onto a videotape of very poor
picture quality, or even impossible. “This product incorporates copyright protection technology that is protected by method
claims of certain U.S. patents and other intellectual property rights owned by Macrovision Corporation and other rights
owners. Use of this copyright protection technology must be authorized by Macrovision Corporation, and is intended for home
