I don't completely understand the question-I have 1 Pioneer dvr player/recorder and on the other tv a Sony dvd player only-The burned copies of my dvds will not play back on either unit-they will only play back on the pc-the last error message was on the Sony-it said something about the area restriction and can't play it-So-I have all this software that is supposed to remove all that stuff so it will play-Well-I was told by one guy that because this gear is real new it has more copy protection built into it-I don't know but they won't play-The only dvd I have been able to copy and playback is a Collective Soul concert and it was a dvd I bought online-but thats it-the difference being that the music video was made from the original not a burned copy-
