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.

Disc Navigator
The on-screen Disc Navigator makes finding your way
around the contents of a disc or the HDD easy. For
recordable DVD and HDD content, moving thumbnail
images are displayed for ease of use. The Disc Navigator
is also where you can edit HDD and recordable DVD
content.
Features
HDD
•
HDD recording
You can record up to 207 hours of video (in EP mode) on
the internal 160GB (gigabyte) hard disk (HDD).
With both recordable DVD and a high-capacity HDD in
the same recorder, you have the flexibility to keep
recordings on the HDD for quick access anytime, or
record to DVD for archiving or playing on other DVD
players.
•
Disc History
The Disc History screen shows disc information,
including how much free space remains for recording,
for the last 30 recordable discs loaded in the recorder.
Every time you load a recordable disc, the Disc History is
automatically updated with the latest information.
•
Copy between HDD and DVD
You can copy recordings from the HDD to recordable
DVD, or from DVD to the HDD. Usually you can use the
high-speed copy feature, which can copy an hour of video
in under two minutes (when recorded in EP mode using
a DVD-R Ver. 2.0 / 8x disc).
•
Home Menu
The Home Menu gives you on-screen access to all the
recorder’s features in one convenient place, from setting
up the recorder, to programming a timer recording and
editing a recording.
You can also choose to copy material at a different
recording quality from the original. For example, you
might want to copy a FINE mode (highest quality)
recording on the HDD to SP (standard play) quality on a
DVD so that you can fit other recordings on the same
disc.
•
Progressive scan-compatible
Compared to standard interlaced video, progressive scan
effectively doubles the amount of video information fed to
your TV or monitor. The result is a stable, flicker-free
image. (Check your TV/monitor for compatibility with this
feature.)

•
Auto Replace Recording
Unlike video tape that needs to be wound to the correct
place, you can jump right to the part of a DVD disc or the
HDD that you want to watch. Search for a point on a disc
by title, chapter or time.
This feature is useful for regular timer recordings of a TV
program which you don’t want to keep after watching.

Manual recording
In addition to the four preset recording quality modes
(FINE, SP, LP and EP), the manual recording mode allows
you to access 32 different recording quality/time settings,
giving you precise control over the recording.

PC-created disc compatibility
This recorder supports the recording of ‘copy-once’
broadcast programs using the CPRM copy protection
system (see CPRM on page 45) on CPRM-compliant
DVD-RW discs in VR mode. CPRM recordings can only
be played on players that are specifically compatible
with CPRM.
Discs recorded using a personal computer may not be
playable in this unit due to the setting of the application
software used to create the disc. In these particular
instances, check with the software publisher for more
detailed information.
Discs recorded in packet write mode (UDF format) are
not compatible with this recorder.
• Do I need two DVD recorders for editing? What kind of
editing can I do?
Check the DVD-R/RW or CD-R/RW software disc boxes
for additional compatibility information.
Unlike editing video tape, you only need one DVD
recorder to edit discs. With DVD, you edit by making
a ‘Play List’ of what to play and when to play it. On
playback, the recorder plays the disc according to the
Play List.
Frequently asked questions
• What’s the difference between DVD-R and DVD-RW?
Original
The most important difference between DVD-R and
DVD-RW is that DVD-R is a record-once medium,
while DVD-RW is a re-recordable/erasable medium.
You can re-record/erase a DVD-RW disc
approximately 1,000 times.

designed for home DVD recording. It allows flexible
editing of recorded material compared to ‘Video

Play List
• Can I play my recordable discs in a regular DVD player?
Throughout this manual, you will often see the words
Original and Play List to refer to the actual content
and the edited version.
Generally, DVD-R discs and DVD-RW discs recorded
*
in Video mode are playable in a regular DVD player,
but they must be ‘finalized’ first. This process fixes
the contents of the disc to make them readable to
other DVD players as DVD-Video discs.
• Original content refers to what’s actually recorded
on the disc.
• Play List content refers to the edited version of the
disc—how the Original content is to be played.
DVD-RW discs recorded in VR mode are playable in
some players.

About the internal hard disk drive
The internal hard disk drive (HDD) is a fragile piece of
equipment. Please use the recorder following the
guidelines below to protect against possible HDD failure.
We recommend that you back up your important
recordings onto DVD-R/RW discs in order to protect against
accidental loss.
• Do not move the recorder while it is on.
• Install and use the recorder on a stable, level surface.
• Do not block the rear vent/cooling fan.
• Do not use the recorder in excessively hot or humid
places, or in places that may be subject to sudden
changes in temperature. Sudden changes in
temperature can cause condensation to form inside
the recorder. This can be a cause of HDD failure.
• While the recorder is switched on, do not unplug
from the wall socket or switch the electricity off from
the breaker switch.
• Do not move the recorder immediately after
switching it off. If you need to move the recorder,
please follow the steps below:
1 After the message POWER OFF is shown in the
display, wait at least two minutes.
2 Unplug from the wall socket.
3 Move the recorder.
• If there’s a power failure while the recorder is on
there is a chance that some data on the HDD will be
lost.
• The HDD is very delicate. If used improperly or in an
unsuitable environment, it is possible that the HDD
will fail after a few years of use. Signs of problems
include playback unexpectedly freezing and
noticeable block noise (mosaic) in the picture.
However, sometimes there will be no warning signs
of HDD failure.
If the HDD fails, no playback of recorded material will
be possible. In this case it will be necessary to
replace the HDD unit.

• The maximum number of titles that can be recorded
on a DVD-R/RW disc is 99.
About DVD recording
• The maximum number of chapters recordable on a
DVD-R/RW disc is 999.
This recorder can record on both DVD-R and DVD-RW
media. The main difference between the two is that DVD-
R discs can only be recorded once, while DVD-RW can be
recorded, erased and re-recorded many times.
• No more recording is possible on a disc that already
contains the maximum number of chapters/titles.
A further difference between the two disc types is that
only DVD-RW can be initialized for VR mode recording,
which offers much more comprehensive editing
functions compared to Video mode recording.
About HDD recording
The big advantage, however, of Video mode is its
compatibility with standard DVD players, most of which
will not play VR mode DVD-RW discs (see also the notes
below).
Recording to the internal hard disk drive (HDD) is
basically similar to recording to a VR mode DVD-RW disc.
You have the full choice of recording quality options,
including the manual mode, and of course you can
record, erase and re-record as many times as you like.
While DVD-R discs can only be recorded using the Video
mode, you can initialize a DVD-RW disc for Video or VR
mode recordings. Once initialized (any previous content
is erased in this operation), all recordings on that disc
will be in the chosen recording mode.
The capacity of the hard disk drive means that you can
store many hours of video on it, even in the higher quality
recording modes. To help you organize the contents, the
HDD is divided into four groups. You can name and use
these groups as you like—for example, you might have a
group for movies, another for TV shows, and one for
camcorder recordings.
Important
• You cannot play, edit or record on unfinalized DVD-R/
RW discs recorded in Video mode on other DVD
recorders. (Likewise, unfinalized Video mode discs
recorded on this recorder are not playable on other
players/recorders.)
Important
• It is possible to record both NTSC and PAL titles on
the HDD. Before recording, you need to make sure
that the Input Line System setting (page 96) matches
the TV line system of the source you’re recording.
• This recorder cannot record onto CD-R or CD-RW
discs.
• Pioneer takes no responsibility for recording failure
due to power cuts, defective discs, or damage to the
recorder.
Note
• The maximum number of titles that can be recorded
on the HDD is 250.
• Fingerprints and small scratches on a disc can affect
playback and/or recording performance. Please take
proper care of your discs.
• You can record up to 207 hours of video (in EP mode)
on the internal 160GB (gigabyte) hard disk (HDD).
• Although this recorder can record NTSC, PAL-60,
PAL and SECAM, you can’t mix multiple TV line
systems on one disc. A disc can contain NTSC and
PAL-60 recordings, or PAL and SECAM. See also
Input Line System on page 96.
• The maximum number of chapters per title
recordable on the HDD is 99.
• No more recording is possible on the HDD after the
maximum number of titles has been reached.
• The maximum continuous recording time is six
hours.
Note
• Some DVD players, such as some Pioneer models,
are compatible with VR mode DVD-RW discs. Check
the operating instructions for your player for VR
mode compatibility information.

There are four preset recording quality modes:

discs and some satellite broadcasts. If copy-
protected material is encountered during a

of recording time on a DVD disc.
• SP (Standard Play) – Default quality, sufficient for
most applications, gives about two hours of
recording time on a DVD.
recording, recording will pause automatically and an
error message will be displayed on-screen.
• Video that is ‘copy-once only’ can only be recorded on
the HDD or a DVD-RW disc in VR mode (see below).
• LP (Long Play) – Slightly lower video quality, but
doubles the recording time on a DVD to around four
hours.
• When recording a TV broadcast or through an
external input, you can display copy control
information on screen. (see Displaying disc
information on-screen on page 32).
• EP (Extended Play) – Use when maximum recording
time is most important; EP gives you around six
hours of recording time on a DVD disc.
In addition to these settings, you can access 32 different
recording quality/time settings when manual recording
mode is on (see Manual Recording on page 103), giving
you precise control over the recording.
CPRM
CPRM is a copy protection system with scramble system
regarding the recording of ‘copy once’ broadcast
programs. CPRM stands for Content Protection for
Recordable Media.
When setting a timer recording there is a further option,
AUTO, which maximizes the recording quality for the
space available on the disc loaded at the time of
recording. (If recording to the HDD, the recording quality
is maximized to fit on to a DVD disc.)
This recorder is CPRM compatible, which means that
you can record copy-once broadcast programs, but you
cannot then make a copy of those recordings. CPRM
recordings can only be made on CPRM-compatible DVD-
RW (ver. 1.1 or higher) discs formatted in VR mode or on
the HDD.
In all except the FINE/MN32 modes, sound is recorded in
two channel Dolby Digital format. When set to FINE/
MN32, sound is recorded in high quality, uncompressed
Linear PCM format.
DVD CPRM recordings can only be played on players that
are specifically compatible with CPRM.
If the broadcast audio has a SAP channel and you are
recording in Video mode or to the HDD, or in VR mode on
the FINE/MN32 setting, use the AUDIO button to select
the Mono, Stereo or SAP audio channel to record before
recording starts.

their program details. If you want to make a timer
recording of a program, you just input the corresponding
code. The date, start, stop and channel settings are made
automatically. All you have to do is tell the recorder the
recording mode, and whether it’s a once-only recording
or a regular recording.
• If a timer program overlaps another in the list, the
message Overlap appears.
• 6 Hour Over is displayed if a recording over six hours
is set for a DVD.
• Standby is displayed when the recorder is in timer
recording standby.
• Recording is displayed when a timer recording is in
progress.

A feature called Chase Play makes it possible to watch a

example, perhaps you have to miss the first 30 minutes of
a movie on TV; you can start recording, then start
watching the movie, from the beginning, while the
recorder is still recording 30 minutes ahead of you.

Timer recording FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Important
• Even though the timer is set, the recorder doesn’t start
recording!
• Note that you must use a DVD-RW Ver. 1.1 / 2x or
Ver. 1.2 / 4x disc to be able to use this feature.
Check that the disc loaded or HDD is recordable, not
locked (see Lock Disc on page 90), and that there are
fewer than 99/250 titles already on the DVD/HDD.
• You may not be able to use this feature with a
DVD-RW disc that was first initialized on another
recorder.

from the beginning of the current recording, or press
DISC NAVIGATOR and select another title to play
from there.
You can’t enter a timer program if the clock isn’t set.
You can use all the usual playback controls, such as
pause, slow-motion play, scan and skip.
• What happens when two or more timer programs
overlap?
• To stop playback, press ꢅ STOP (recording will
continue).
Basically, the program with the earlier recording start
time has priority. However, the recorder will start
recording the program with the later start time after
the earlier program is finished. If two programs have
the same times (but different channels, for example),
the program set most recently takes priority.
• To stop recording, press ꢀ STOP REC (playback will
continue).
Note
• You can’t start playback immediately after recording
starts.
• I entered a timer program, but the recorder doesn’t
confirm whether or not it’s OK. Why not?
• When scanning a DVD, no sound is output if the
recorder is also recording the DVD (see Scanning
discs on page 37).
Timer confirmation only works for DVD recordings
when there is a recordable disc loaded. Also make
sure that the disc is not locked (see Lock Disc on
page 90) and that there are fewer than 99 titles
already recorded (250 for the HDD). Note that it’s
possible that although the timer recording screen
says OK, the recording doesn’t complete
• You can’t use this feature during Auto Start
Recording, or in Auto Start Recording standby (the

Copying and back-up
07
CChaoptpery7 ing and back-up
When copying from HDD to DVD, the speed of copying
depends on the recording mode and the kind of DVD disc
you’re using. The table at the bottom of the page shows
the minimum copying time for one hour of material.
Introduction
Use the copying features of this recorder to:
• Back up important recordings stored on the HDD to
a DVD
Note
• Make a DVD copy of a recording on the HDD to play
in another player.
• Not all discs are compatible with high-speed copying.
Check with the disc manufacturer for compatibility.
• Transfer video from a DVD to the HDD for editing.
• Transfer edited video from the HDD to DVD.
• There may be cases where even 2x/4x/8x compatible
discs do not copy at full speed.
The simplest method of copying is to use the One Touch
Copy feature. Using this you can simply copy the title
that’s currently playing from HDD to DVD, or the other
way around.
• High-speed copying is not possible when using discs
initialized on another recorder.
• The following manufacture’s 8x discs are suitable for
us with this recorder.
For more complicated copying tasks you can make a
Copy List which specifies precisely what needs to be
copied. A Copy List is similar to a VR mode Play List in
many ways, and you’ll find that the Copy List commands
are similar to those available for editing a Play List.

A message showing that copying has finished is

Copying of transfer between DVD and HDD is a
completely digital process without any loss of quality in
the audio or video. Copying can be carried out at the
maximum speed possible.

Real-time copying
Real-time copying is also possible, with the advantage
that you can manually set a different recording mode
from the original. For example, you can record a title
originally recorded in FINE mode in SP mode.
When real-time copying from the HDD to a Video mode
DVD, the chapter markers in the original material are not
copied. Chapter markers are put into the copy at
intervals, according to the Auto Chapter (Video) setting
(see also Auto Chapter (Video) on page 104).
One Touch Copy* (HDD to DVD)
The One Touch Copy feature copies the currently playing
title (or currently selected title in the Disc Navigator) from
the HDD to DVD. The whole title is copied, regardless of
where in the title you start copying. The recorder copies
at the maximum speed possible.
Frame accuracy and copying
The Frame Accurate setting (see Frame Accurate on
page 104) does not affect the actual video content on the
HDD, but it does affect what can be copied and whether
high-speed copying can be used.
For One Touch Copy to work, make sure that a recordable
DVD-R/RW disc is loaded.
* See also Copyright above.
When Frame Accurate is set to Off, high-speed copying
can generally be used to copy titles in the Copy List using
a DVD-R or DVD-RW disc in VR or Video mode. However,
copy-once protected material (see Restrictions on
copying below) can’t be added to the Copy List, and the
divide points in edited titles may be out by as much as 0.5
seconds when compared to the original.
ONE TOUCH
COPY
ꢃ
HDD
DVD
When Frame Accurate is On, you can add copy-once
protected titles to the Copy List and divide points in
edited titles are maintained accurately. However,
depending on the content of the Copy List and the disc, it
may not be possible to use high-speed copying.
•
During HDD playback, press ONE TOUCH COPY to
copy the current title to DVD.
The front panel display indicates that the title is being
copied. Playback continues while copying.
Restrictions on copying
Note
Some video material is copy-once protected. This means
that it can be recorded to HDD, but it can’t then be freely
copied again. If you want to transfer copy-once protected
material from HDD to DVD, you’ll need to use a VR mode
DVD-RW disc compatible with CPRM Ver. 1.1 or higher
(see CPRM on page 45 for more on this). Only one
instance of a copy-once protected title can be added to
the Copy List, and after it’s been copied, the title is erased
from the HDD (it is therefore not possible to copy a
locked title that is copy-once protected).
• Title name, chapter markers, as well as thumbnail
picture markers (Navimark) for the Disc Navigator,
are also copied. However, if you copy to a Video mode
DVD-R/RW, only the first 32 characters of a name are
copied.
• The chapter markers in the copy may not be in exactly
the same positions as the original when recording on
to a Video mode disc.
• You can’t use the One Touch Copy function to copy a
title if any part of the title is copy-once protected.
You can identify copy-once protected material during
playback by displaying disc information on-screen. If the
current title is copy-once protected, an exclamation mark
( ! ) is shown (see Play display 2 on page 34).
• A title that contains mixed aspect ratios can’t be
copied to a Video mode disc. Use a VR mode DVD-
RW disc for this type of material.
• Low resolution (EP or LP, or MN1–18) widescreen
material can’t be copied to a Video mode disc. Use a
VR mode DVD-RW disc for this type of material.

One Touch Copy* (DVD to HDD)
• The maximum title length for copying is six hours.
One Touch Copy from DVD to HDD copies a single title to
the HDD in real time. You can copy the currently playing
title or the currently selected title in the Disc Navigator.
When you start copying, playback jumps back to the start
of the title, then continues through to the end of the title,
when recording automatically stops. The copy will be
made in the recording mode (FINE, SP, etc.) that is
currently set.
• Title name and chapter markers are also copied,
except when copying from a finalized Video mode
disc.
• Thumbnail picture markers (Navimark) and chapter
markers for the Disc Navigator are copied, but their
position in the copy may be slightly changed from the
original.
* See also Copyright on page 60.
• If some part of the title being copied is copy-
protected, copying will start, but the copy-protected
portions will not be copied.

– When adding titles that contain material of more
than one aspect ratio (screen size), each part with a
different aspect ratio will be added as a separate title.
– Widescreen material recorded in LP, EP or MN1–18
will not be added to the Copy List.
– Chapter markers on the copy may be up to 0.5

Editing

CEhdapitetri8ng
Using the Disc Navigator you can edit video content on unfinalized Video mode and VR mode DVD discs, as well as
video content on the internal hard disk drive (HDD). The editing features available in the Disc Navigator depend on
whether you are editing video on a Video mode or VR mode DVD, or the HDD, and whether you’re editing Original
content, or a Play List.
With unfinalized Video mode DVDs, there are a limited number of editing commands, including naming, locking and
erasing titles. Once a Video mode disc has been finalized, further editing is not possible.
There are two ways to edit VR mode DVD-RW discs. You can directly edit the Original content of the disc, or you can
create and edit a Play List. The Play List doesn’t actually change any of the content on the disc, but just controls how
the content is played back (rather like the program play feature found on CD players).
Editing material recorded on the HDD is similar to editing the Original content of a VR mode DVD-RW, with similar
commands for erasing, naming and locking titles, as well as fine control over the content of chapters within titles.

• Many recent PAL TVs are capable of correctly
displaying NTSC pictures without the need for this
setting. Check the manual that came with your TV if
you’re not sure whether yours has this feature.
If you switch to Progressive when using a TV that is not
compatible with progressive-scan video, you will not be
able to see anything displayed on your TV. If this happens,
press and hold the + button on the front panel, then press
HDD. This will set the recorder’s video output back to
Interlace.
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 artifacts to
be displayed in the picture. In case of 525 progressive scan
picture problems, it is recommended that the user switch the
connection to the ‘standard definition’ output (Interlace). If there
are questions regarding our TV set compatibility with this model,
please contact our customer service center.

When set to On, the recorder selects the default audio
language on a DVD disc (French dialog for a French
movie, for example), and displays subtitles in your
preferred subtitle language only if that is set to
something different. In other words, movies in your native
language won’t have any subtitles, while foreign
language movies will be shown with subtitles.
When set to On, the recorder displays subtitles
according to the Subtitle Language and Auto
Language settings. Set to Off to switch subtitles off
altogether (although you may find that some discs
override this setting). Set to Assist Subtitle to have the
recorder display the extra assistive subtitles recorded on
to some DVD discs.
Set to Off to have the recorder play discs strictly
according to your Audio Language and Subtitle
Language settings.

Frequently asked questions
questions on how to use your DVD recorder and what it
can do.
See also Copying and back-up on page 59.
• How do I make a high-quality copy?
• Can I record a dual mono broadcast to the HDD,
keeping both audio channels and switch them on
playback?
We recommend that you use the high-speed copy
mode. Although the copy is faster than real time,
there is no loss of picture or sound quality compared
to the original.
No. Only the audio channel set in the Dual Mono
Recording setting in the Initial Settings menu will be
recorded. If you need to record both channels of
audio, please record using a VR mode DVD-RW disc.
If there is not enough space on the disc to make a
copy at the same picture quality as the original, we
recommend that you change the recording mode to
‘Optimized’. This will fit the recording on to the
available space on the disc.
See also Dual Mono Recording on page 99.
See also Copying and back-up on page 59.
• Can I record continuously on the HDD for more than
six hours?
• Can I make a DVD copy of, say, a movie that has had
the commercials edited out?
Yes, timer recordings made to the HDD can by set for
up to 24 hours. However, because the maximum
length of a title is six hours, the recording will be
spread over two or more titles. Note that there will be
a short break in the recording between titles.
Yes. There are two ways to do this. You can either edit
the video on the HDD then copy the edited version to
DVD, or you can assemble a Copy List that cuts out
the commercials, then record that to DVD.
See also Setting a timer recording on page 47.
See also Copying and back-up on page 59.
• Can I copy a finalized Video mode disc (DVD-R or DVD-
RW) to the HDD?
• I have a two-hour recording on the HDD made in FINE
mode. Can I copy this to DVD in high-speed mode?
Yes. Start playing the Video mode disc and use the
One Touch Copy button to copy the currently playing
title to the HDD. Repeat for as many titles on the disc
as you want to copy.
A standard DVD disc can hold only an hour of FINE
mode material, so you wouldn’t be able to make a
high-speed copy of this on to one disc. You could
divide up the recording on the HDD into two titles of
an hour each and copy these to two DVDs (using

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.
Handling 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.
For more detailed care information see the instructions
that come with discs.
Do not load more than one disc into the recorder.
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.
Damaged discs
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
commercially 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.
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).

Cleaning the pickup lens
14
Moving the recorder
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.
If you need to move the recorder, first remove the disc, if
there’s one loaded, and close the disc tray. Next, press ꢃ
STANDBY/ON to switch the power to standby, checking
that the POWER OFF indication in the display goes off.
Wait at least two minutes. Lastly, disconnect the power
cord. Never lift or move the unit during playback or
recording—discs rotate at a high speed and may be
damaged.
Condensation
Condensation may form inside the recorder if it is
brought into a warm room from outside, or if the
temperature of the room rises quickly. Although the
condensation won’t damage the recorder, it may
temporarily impair its performance. For this reason you
should leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature for
about an hour before switching on and using.
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:
Do...
ꢆ
Use in a well-ventilated room.
ꢆ
Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a table,
shelf or stereo rack.
Don’t...
ꢇ
Use in a place exposed to high temperatures or
humidity, including near radiators and other heat-
generating appliances.
ꢇ
Place on a window sill or other place where the
recorder will be exposed to direct sunlight.
Use in a dusty or damp environment or in a room
where it will be exposed to excessive cigarette smoke.
Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other
ꢇ
ꢇ
component in your stereo system that becomes hot in
use.
ꢇ
Use near a television or monitor as you may
experience interference—especially if the television uses
an indoor antenna.
ꢇ
Use in a kitchen or other room where the recorder
may be exposed to smoke or steam.
Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with cloth—this
may prevent proper cooling of the unit.

DTS
Glossary
Analog audio
DTS stands for Digital Theater System. DTS is a surround
system different from Dolby Digital that has become a
popular surround sound format for movies.
An electrical signal that directly represents sound.
Compare this to digital audio which can be an electrical
signal, but is an indirect representation of sound. See
also Digital audio.
“DTS” and “DTS Digital Out” are registered trademarks of
Digital Theater Systems, Inc.
Aspect ratio
Dynamic range
The width of a TV screen relative to its height.
Conventional TVs are 4:3 (in other words, the screen is
almost square); widescreen models are 16:9 (the screen
is almost twice as wide as it is high).
The difference between the quietest and loudest sounds
possible in an audio signal (without distorting or getting
lost in noise). Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks are
capable of a wide dynamic range, delivering dramatic
cinema-like effects.
Chapter
Just as a book is split up into several chapters, a title on
the HDD/a DVD disc is usually divided into chapters. See
also Title.
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File)
A file format developed by Fuji Photo Film for digital still
cameras. Digital cameras from various manufacturers
use this compressed file format which carries date, time
and thumbnail information, as well as the picture data.
Digital audio
An indirect representation of sound by numbers. During
recording, the sound is measured at discrete intervals
(44,100 times a second for CD audio) by an analog-to-
digital converter, generating a stream of numbers. On
playback, a digital-to-analog converter generates an
analog signal based on these numbers. See also
Sampling frequency and Analog audio.
File extension
A tag added to the end of a filename to indicate the type
of file. For example, “.mp3” indicates an MP3 file.
ISO 9660 format
International standard for the volume and file structure of
CD-ROM discs.
Dolby Digital
1
With multichannel audio, this high quality surround
system is used in many movie theaters around the world.
JPEG
A file format used for still images, such as photographs
and illustrations. JPEG files are identified by the file
extension “.jpg” or “.JPG”. Most digital cameras use this
format.
Manufactured under licence from Dolby Laboratories.
“Dolby” and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby
Laboratories.
MP3
MP3 (MPEG1 audio layer 3) is a compressed audio file
format. Files are recognized by their file extension “.mp3”
or “.MP3”.
DRM (Digital Rights Management)
DRM (Digital Rights Management) copy protection is a
technology designed to prevent unauthorized copying by
restricting playback, etc. of material on devices other the
PC (or other WMA recording equipment) used to record
it. For detailed information, please see the instruction
manuals or help files that came with your PC (or other
WMA recording equipment) and/or software.
MPEG audio
An audio format used on Video CDs and some DVD
discs. This unit can convert MPEG audio to PCM format
for wider compatibility with digital recorders and AV
amp/receivers. See also PCM.

MPEG video
Sampling frequency
The video format used for Video CDs and DVDs. Video CD
uses the older MPEG-1 standard, while DVD uses the
newer and much better quality MPEG-2 standard.
The rate at which sound is measured to be turned into
digital audio data. The higher the rate, the better the
sound quality, but the more digital information is
generated. Standard CD audio has a sampling frequency
of 44.1kHz, which means 44,100 samples
Optical digital output
(measurements) per second. See also Digital audio.
A jack that outputs digital audio in the form of light
pulses. Connect components with optical digital jacks
using a special optical cord, available from specialist
audio dealers.
Title
A collection of chapters on a the HDD/DVD disc. See also
Chapter.
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)
Track
The most common system of encoding digital audio,
found on CDs and DAT. Excellent quality, but requires a
lot of data compared to formats such as Dolby Digital
and MPEG audio. For compatibility with digital audio
recorders (CD, MD and DAT) and AV amp/receivers with
digital inputs, this unit can convert Dolby Digital and
MPEG audio to PCM. See also Digital audio.
Audio CDs and Video CDs use tracks to divide up the
content of a disc. The DVD equivalent is called a chapter.
See also Chapter.
WMA
WMA is short for Windows Media Audio and refers to an
audio compression technology developed by Microsoft
Corporation. WMA data can be encoded by using
Windows Media Player version 9 or Windows Media
Player for Windows XP. Files are recognized by their file
extension “.wma” or “.WMA”.
PBC (PlayBack Control) (Video CD only)
A system of navigating a Video CD through on-screen
menus recorded onto the disc. Especially good for discs
that you would normally not watch from beginning to end
all at once—karaoke discs, for example.
Microsoft, Windows Media, and the Windows logo are
trademarks, or registered trademarks of Microsoft
Corporation in the United States and/or other countries.
Progressive scan video
Also called non-interlaced video, this method of
displaying a picture updates all the lines in one pass,
resulting in a more stable, flicker-free image than
interlaced video (for a given scanning rate).
PureCinema
Video on a DVD disc may be either video material
(originally shot on video) or film material (originally shot
on film). Video material has a frame rate of 30 frames/
second, compared to 24 frames/second for film. This
recorder converts film material to 60 frames/second (in
progressive scan mode). PureCinema adjusts the picture
so that it matches more closely the picture quality of a
cinema screen.
You can see whether video on a DVD disc is film or video
material by displaying the transfer rate. If a ‘#’ appears
above the transfer rate display, it is film material.
Regions (DVD only)
ALL
1
(example region code marks)
Regions associate discs and players with particular
areas of the world. This unit will only play discs that have
compatible region codes. You can find the region code of
your unit by looking on the rear panel. Some discs are
compatible with more than one region (or all regions).
