We Want You Listening For A Lifetime  
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will  
provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since  
hearing damage from loud noise is often  
undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer  
and the Electronic Industries Association’s  
Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid  
prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of  
sound levels is included for your protection.  
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit  
you’ve just purchased is only the start of your  
musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how  
you can maximize the fun and excitement your  
equipment offers. This manufacturer and the  
Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer  
Electronics Group want you to get the most out of  
your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that  
lets the sound come through loud and clear without  
annoying blaring or distortion and, most importantly,  
without affecting your sensitive hearing.  
Decibel  
Level Example  
30 Quiet library, soft whispers  
40 Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic  
50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office  
60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine  
70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant  
80 Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock  
at two feet.  
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing  
“comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound.  
So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and  
harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by  
setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your  
hearing adapts.  
THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS  
UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE  
90 Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower  
100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill  
120 Rock band concert in front of speakers,  
thunderclap  
To establish a safe level:  
• Start your volume control at a low setting.  
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it  
comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.  
140 Gunshot blast, jet plane  
180 Rocket launching pad  
Once you have established a comfortable sound  
level:  
• Set the dial and leave it there.  
Information courtesy of the Deafness Research Foundation.  
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent  
hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we  
want you listening for a lifetime.

Title/Chapter/Track  
Disc playback in other players  
A disc recorded in this unit can be finalized. The disc  
can be played back in other players that can playback  
DVD-RW and DVD-R.  
For more information on finalization, see “FINALIZE” in  
“Setting the disc” (page 28).  
A DVD-Video has large partitions called “Titles”, and  
smaller partitions within them called “Chapters”.  
A music CD has other partitions called “Tracks”. A  
number is allotted to each partition and these numbers  
are called “title numbers”, “chapter numbers” or “track  
numbers”.  
When recording in the VR mode  
DVD DISC  
Even if a disc recorded in the VR mode is finalized, you  
can record or edit by cancelling the finalization. (See  
“UNDO FINALIZE” on page 28.)

When recording in the Video mode  
When a disc recorded in the Video mode is finalized, it  
cannot be recorded onto any more. Therefore, before  
finalization, be sure to perform all desired recording.  
After finalization, a title list that can be used by the DVD  
player is automatically created.  
When recording in the VR mode  
One-time recording is set to 1 title (1 chapter). However,  
if you stop recording temporarily or erase scenes by  
editing, the chapter will automatically be partitioned.  
The interval between chapters can be specified. (See  
page 31.)  
Note  
• The finalization process may require from a few  
minutes up to 1 hour depending on the disc type  
and the amount of free space on the disc.  
• A DVD-RW Ver.1.1/1.2 recorded in the Video mode  
cannot be recorded or edited after finalization, but  
if you format the disc by erasing all the content, you  
can again record on this disc.  
When recording in the Video mode  
One-time recording is set to 1 title. In recording,  
chapters are set automatically. The interval between  
chapters can be specified. (See page 31.)  
• A finalized disc may not play because of the  
condition of the DVD or the compatibility with the  
player used for playback.  
• Some players may not playback the discs recorded  
with this unit. We cannot guarantee the playback  
using other players.  
Note  
• The title, chapter and track are numbered, but  
some discs may not record the numbers.  
• Recording on DVD-R/RW in the Video mode is a  
new standard approved at the 2000 DVD forum.  
Conformity to this standard varies with each DVD  
player manufacturer. Some models of DVD player  
or DVD-ROM drive, therefore, will not playback  
recorded videos.

• Don't mix new and old batteries together.  
• Don't use different kinds of battery together-  
although they may look similar, different batteries  
may have different voltages.  
• Make sure that the plus and minus ends of each  
battery match the indications in the battery  
compartment.  
• Remove batteries from equipment that isn't going  
to be used for a month or more.  
• Do not try to recharge batteries not intended to be  
recharged; they can overheat ant rupture. (Follow  
battery manufacturer’s directions.)  
TO USE AC POWER SOURCE

• Never connect the AC line cord plug to other than  
the specified voltage (120V 60Hz). Use the attached  
power cord only.  
• If the polarized AC cord does not fit into a non-  
polarized AC outlet, do not attempt to file or cut the  
blade. It is the user’s responsibility to have an  
electrician replace the obsolete outlet.  
• If you cause a static discharge when touching the  
unit and the unit fails to function, simply unplug  
the unit from the AC outlet and plug it back in. The  
unit should return to normal operation.

Many cable companies offer services permitting reception of extra channels including pay or subscription chan-  
nels. This DVD/VCR has an extended tuning range and can be tuned to most cable channels without using a cable  
company supplied converter box, except for those channels which are intentionally scrambled. If you subscribe to a  
special channel which is scrambled, you must have a descrambler box for proper reception.

Important  
•
Make sure the TV/CABLE menu option is set to the “CABLE” mode.  
This DVD/VCR cannot receive scrambled programs since it does not contain a descrambler. In order to receive scrambled  
programs, your existing descrambler must be used. Descrambler boxes are available from cable companies. Consult  
your local Cable TV company for more information concerning connection to their descrambler equipment. There are  
many ways to connect your DVD/VCR to a cable system. Below are six common methods of connection.

OUT.  
• When you make the connections above, do not set DOLBY DIGITAL to DOLBY DIGITAL or DTS to ON on the AV  
amplifier. If you do, a loud noise will suddenly come out from the speakers, affecting your ears or causing the  
speakers to be damaged.  
• Caution for the optical digital audio output connector: Do not connect to an amplifier (with an optical digital input  
connector) which does not contain a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder. Otherwise, any attempt to play DVDs may  
cause such a high level of noise that it may be harmful to your ears and damage your speakers.  
• If you use an optical or a coaxial connection, when you play a DVD-RW (VR mode) which was recorded from a  
bilingual broadcast, you can only hear the audio mode that was selected when it was recorded. See page 10.  
• DTS audio will be output only from the COAXIAL or OPTICAL output. To hear DTS audio, DTS-Decoder is necessary.  
• When playing DTS-encoded CDs, only noise will be heard from the speakers or analogue stereo outputs.  
• Some DTS decoders which do not support DVD-DTS interface may not work properly with the unit.

The unit supports the progressive scanning system as  
well as the conventional interlaced scanning system. If  
your TV is equipped with component video input jacks  
which support the progressive video input, you can  
enjoy higher picture quality by making the progressive  
scanning mode active.  
• To make the progressive scanning mode inactive,  
press PROGRESSIVE in the stop mode. The  
PROGRESSIVE indicator “ ” on the display  
P
window will go off.  
Different scanning modes  
Interlaced scan  
Technology that alternately displays odd-numbered  
scanning lines and even-numbered scanning lines. Also  
called “480i”, “i” meaning “interlace”.  
Progressive scan  
Technology that simultaneously displays odd-numbered  
scanning lines and even-numbered scanning lines from top  
to bottom. Also called “480p”, “p” meaning “progressive”.  
Note  
• The progressive scan mode is only available when  
playing a DVD.  
• Some discs may not be played back with the  
progressive scan mode correctly because of the  
disc characteristics or recording condition.  
• There are some progressive TV and High-Definition  
TV sets that are not fully compatible with the unit,  
resulting in an unnatural picture when playing back  
a DVD disc in the progressive scan mode. In such a  
case, use the interlaced scanning mode.  
• You cannot activate the progressive scan mode in  
the following cases:  
- the unit is in the VCR mode.  
- a DVD disc is currently playing. You must stop  
playback first.  
Preparation:  
Compatibility of this unit with progressive-scan TVs  
Consumers should note that not all high-definition television  
sets are fully compatible with this product and may cause arti-  
facts to be displayed in the picture. In case of 525 progressive  
scan picture problems, it is recommended that the user switch

Recording  
Recording modes  
There are 4 modes for recording on disc. Recording  
time and quality vary according to mode.  
Read this before recording on disc  
This section explains things you must know to record  
onto a disc. Read it before attempting to record.  
Recording Recording time Quality  
mode  
Types of disc  
You can use DVD-RW and DVD-R discs to record video.  
XP  
SP  
LP  
Approx. 60 min Can record high quality  
images.  
DVD-RW discs  
Approx. 120 min Can record normal  
quality images.  
• Ver 1.1/1.2 discs can be formatted for recording in  
either of the two modes: the VR mode or the Video  
mode. Ver.1.0 discs can only be formatted for  
recording in the VR mode.  
• High quality images and sound can be repeatedly  
recorded about 1,000 times.  
• A disc formatted in the VR mode can have as many  
as 99 original titles and playlist titles each. Discs  
formatted in the Video mode can have up to 99  
original titles.  
Approx. 240 min Quality deteriorates  
slightly, but recording  
time is longer.  
EP  
Approx. 360 min Recording time is  
prioritized over quality.  
• Recording time above is based on a 4.7GB disc.  
Please note that there is a trade-off between recording  
time and quality. The longer the possible recording time,  
the lower the recorded picture quality. You may wish to  
try recording different kinds of program in different  
modes to determine the combination of picture quality  
and recording time that suits your needs.  
DVD-R discs  
• Discs can only be recorded in the Video mode.  
• Discs can be recorded only once.  
• Up to 99 titles can be created.  
For more information on recording format, see  
“Recording format” (page 10).  
We recommend that the XP mode be used for recording  
fast moving or action programs.  
Notes on recording in the Video mode  
Since DVD recording is performed using VBR (Variable  
Bit Rate), recording time varies according to the  
recorded content.  
To know the correct recording time, stop recording and  
check the media information. (See page 35.)  
• The Video mode cannot be selected for Ver. 1.0  
DVD-RW discs.  
• The remaining available area on the disc decreases  
as recording progresses. Additional contents can  
be recorded in the remaining time area, but it  
cannot be overwritten into the recorded area.  
• To format a new DVD-RW in the Video mode, set  
the automatic format feature to the Video mode.  
(See page 27.)  
Note  
• Recording time can change for the following  
reasons.  
- When image quality is poor as during poor TV  
reception.  
- When recording on a disc that has been edited  
before.  
- When the video is followed with recordings of still  
images or just audio.  
Note  
• Should a power failure occur or should the AC cord  
plug be disconnected while recording, editing,  
initializing, finalizing or any other function, the  
program being recorded will be lost or the disc may  
not be playable. Manufacturer cannot guarantee  
against loss of program or disc should this occur.

Disc remaining time  
Note  
VR mode  
• When using one touch timer recording to record on  
a DVD disc, it takes some time from when you  
press REC until recording actually starts.  
Press REC a little before your preferred starting  
point.  
• Even if STOP is pressed during recording, record-  
ing does not stop instantly. It takes a maximum of 1  
minute for the information needed for the disc to be  
compiled after pressing STOP.  
• Recording is possible as long as there is available  
space on the disc. (Finalized discs can be recorded  
by cancelling the finalization, see “UNDO FINAL-  
IZE” on page 28.)  
• Erasing unnecessary title frees up available space  
on the disc. (Titles can be erased from finalized  
discs by first undoing the finalization. See “UNDO  
FINALIZE” on page 28.)  
• Because of characteristics peculiar to digital video  
compression technology, scenes with fast motion  
may appear as a matrix of larger blocks.  
Video mode  
• Up until the disc is finalized, recording is possible  
as long as there is available space on the disc.  
(Once the disc has been finalized, additional  
recording and erasing are not possible.)  
• The remaining time cannot be increased, nor can  
recorded title be overwritten.  
• Titles cannot be erased nor can recorded titles be  
overwritten.  
Images that cannot be recorded  
Some DVD-Video and broadcasts contain copy-restric-  
tion signals to protect copyrights. There are 3 types of  
copy-restriction signals: “Copy Free”, “Copy Never” and  
“Copy Once”.  
“Copy Free” (unrestricted recording)  
Land-based TV broadcasts and images you record  
yourself with a video camera allow unrestricted record-  
ing. There are no restrictions on recording.  
“Copy Never” (recording prohibited)  
• Images that contain the recording prohibited signal  
cannot be recorded.  
• If the recording prohibited signal appears halfway  
through an image you are recording, recording is  
paused at that instant. When the recording  
prohibited signal ends, recording resumes.  
• This unit incorporates a built-in copy guard. It  
cannot record software or broadcasted programs  
that contain copy restriction signals designed to  
protect copyright, etc.  
“Copy Once” (one-time recordable)  
Programs (images) that contain the one-time recordable  
signal can be recorded only in the VR mode using a  
DVD-RW disc that supports CPRM Ver. 1.1 and Ver. 1.2.

only the title name can be edited.  
Editing the disc  
This section explains how to edit the recorded contents  
on DVD-RWs. However, the items that you can edit vary  
with the recording formats. In VR mode, you can edit  
various title menus, whereas in Video mode, you can  
edit only a few items.  
The items can be edited in each are as follows:

Playlist  
You can create a playlist based on the original titles.  
You can combine or erase undesired scenes.  
If you create a playlist it will become the primary list  
used by the disc.  
If you create a playlist to customize your viewing  
preferences, and choose to delete it, the original titles  
will not be affected. It is recommended to create and  
edit the playlist to prevent important titles from being  
erased accidentally.  
Note  
• This unit cannot record or edit a disc which was  
recorded or edited using another DVD recorder.  
• You cannot edit or record the disc on which disc  
protection is set. In such a case, be sure to cancel  
the disc protection (see page 28) before starting the  
operation.  
• When a scene has been erased, the selected  
position for erasing may vary slightly from the  
actual erased position.  
If you create a playlist, both the original title and playlist  
will be displayed on the title menu.

Handling discs  
Damaged discs  
When holding discs of any type, take care not to leave  
fingerprints, dirt or scratches on the disc surface. Hold  
the disc by its edge or by the center hole and edge.  
Damaged or dirty discs can affect playback and recording  
performance. Take care also not to scratch the label side  
of the disc. Although not as fragile as the recorded side,  
scratches can still result in a disc becoming unusable.  
Should a disc become marked with fingerprints, dust,  
etc., clean using a soft, dry cloth, wiping the disc lightly  
from the center to the outside edge as shown in the  
diagram below.  
Discs spin at high speed inside the recorder. If you can  
see that a disc is cracked, chipped, warped, or otherwise  
damaged, don't risk using it; you could end up damaging  
the recorder.  
This recorder is designed for use with conventional, fully  
circular discs only. Use of shaped discs is not recommended  
for this product. Pioneer disclaims all liability arising in  
connection with the use of shaped discs.  
If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or a commer-  
cially available CD/DVD cleaning kit to clean a disc more  
thoroughly. Never use benzine, thinner or other cleaning  
agents, including products designed for cleaning vinyl  
records.  
Cleaning the pickup lens  
The DVD recorder's lens should not become dirty in normal  
use, but if for some reason it should malfunction due to dust  
or dirt, consult your nearest Pioneer-authorized service  
center. Although lens cleaners for CD players are  
commercially available, we do not recommend using them  
since some may damage the lens.  
Storing discs  
Although CDs and DVD discs are more durable than  
vinyl records, you should still take care to handle and  
store discs correctly. When you're not using a disc,  
return it to its case and store upright. Avoid leaving  
discs in excessively cold, humid, or hot environments  
(including under direct sunlight).  
Handling video tapes  
Please do not use the following kinds of video tape:  
- Dusty or mouldy tape  
Don't glue paper or put stickers onto the disc, or use a  
pencil, ball-point pen or other sharp-tipped writing  
instrument. These could all damage the disc.  
- Tape on which liquid has been spilled  
- Tape which has been broken and then repaired  
- Tape which has become unwound from the  
spools in the cassette  
• Dirty heads and very long length, thin video tape  
can cause problems such as uneven playback.  
• When using a new video tape, fast-forward to the  
end, then rewind it back to the start before using.  
• Avoid dropping video tapes or exposing them to  
severe vibration.  
For more detailed care information see the instructions  
that come with discs.  
Do not load more than one disc into the recorder.  
Storing video tapes  
• After using a video tape, rewind it back to the  
beginning and return to its case.  
• Do not store tapes:  
- in excessively dusty places  
- in excessively hot or humid places  
- in direct sunlight  
- near air-conditioners or heaters  
- near strong magnetic fields

Video head cleaning  
09  
Hints on installation  
We want you to enjoy using this unit for years to come,  
so please bear in mind the following points when  
choosing a suitable location for it:  
Video head clogging  
The video heads are the means by which the DVD/VCR reads  
the picture from the tape during playback. In the unlikely  
event that the heads become dirty enough to be clogged, no  
picture will be played back. This can easily be determined if,  
during playback of a known good tape, there is good sound,  
but no picture (picture is extremely snowy). If this is the case,  
have the DVD/VCR checked by qualified service personnel.  
Do...  
ꢁ Use in a well-ventilated room.  
ꢁ Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a table,  
shelf or stereo rack.  
Don't...  
ꢂ Use in a place exposed to high temperatures or  
humidity, including near radiators and other heat-  
generating appliances.  
ꢂ Place on a window sill or other place where the  
recorder will be exposed to direct sunlight.  
ꢂ Use in a dusty or damp environment or in a room where  
it will be exposed to excessive cigarette smoke.  
ꢂ Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other component  
in your stereo system that becomes hot in use.  
ꢂ Use near a television or monitor as you may  
experience interference-especially if the television  
uses an indoor antenna.  
Normal  
When head is dirty  
Note  
• DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR  
SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE TOP COVER.  
• Video heads may eventually wear out and should be  
replaced when they fail to produce clear pictures.  
• To help prevent video head clogging, use only good  
quality VHS tapes. Discard worn out tapes.  
ꢂ Use in a kitchen or other room where the recorder  
may be exposed to smoke or steam.  
ꢂ Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with cloth-  
this may prevent proper cooling of the unit.  
ꢂ Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not  
large enough to support all four of the unit's feet.  
• We do not recommend using wet-type head-  
cleaning cassettes as they may damage the unit.  
Moving the recorder  
If you need to move the recorder, first remove the disc  
and the cassette, if they are loaded, and close the disc  
tray. Next press STANDBY/ON to switch the power to  
standby. Lastly, disconnect the power cord.  
Resetting the recorder  
If you need to, you can reset the recorder to all its  
factory settings.  
1
Make sure that the recorder is on and remove  
the disc.  
2
Press and hold ꢆ STOP and press w STANDBY/  
ON.  
The recorder turns off with all settings reset.
