Here is a FAQ that I copied from the Go Video home site. I would imagine that this ruling also pertains to DVD players/recorders also.
______________________
Can I duplicate copy-protected movies with my Dual-Deck VCR?
All VCRs, including the Dual-Deck VCR, are affected by Federal legislation that was passed in October 1998, commonly referred to as the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. One of the effects of this new law requires that all VCRs sold after April 28th, 2000, recognize a type of anticopying signal that prevents consumers from making a usable copy of copy-protected videotapes.
__________________________
This is why the older units are able to make copies & the newer units can't.
Hope this helps.
Larry
