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.

HDD
•
Super high quality HDD recording
Using the XP+ recording mode you can record super
high quality video (around 15 Mbps data transfer rate) to
the HDD.
•
High quality 16-bit Linear PCM audio

WMA, MP3 and JPEG file playback
In the LPCM recording mode, audio is recorded in
uncompressed 16-bit Linear PCM format. This delivers
great sounding audio to accompany the high picture
quality.
This recorder can play WMA and MP3 audio files and
JPEG picture files on CD-R, CD-RW or CD-ROM discs.
•
Disc Back-up
The disc back-up feature gives you a convenient way to
back-up important material on a finalized Video mode
DVD to another recordable DVD disc. The material is first
copied to the HDD, then on to a second DVD disc.
•
Picture quality adjustment features
During playback, you can adjust various picture quality
settings to improve the picture. You can also adjust the
recording picture quality. For example, if you want to
make a DVD copy of an old video tape, you can optimize
the picture quality before transferring it to disc.

About DualDisc playback
A DualDisc is a new two -sided disc, one side of which contains
DVD content –video, audio, etc. –while the other side contains
non-DVD content such as digital audio material.
The non-DVD, audio side of the disc is not compliant with the
CD Audio specification and therefore may not play.
It is possible that when loading or ejecting a DualDisc, the
opposite side to that being played will be scratched. Scratched
discs may not be playable.
The DVD side of a DualDisc plays in this product. DVD-Audio
content will not play.
For more detailed information on the DualDisc specification,
please refer to the disc manufacturer or disc retailer.

WMA (Windows Media Audio) compatibility
Frequently asked questions
• What’s the difference between DVD-R and DVD-RW?
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.
®
The Windows Media logo printed on the box indicates
For more information, see About DVD recording on
page 49.
that this recorder can playback Windows Media Audio
content.
WMA is an acronym for Windows Media Audio and refers
to an audio compression technology developed by
Microsoft Corporation. WMA content can be encoded by
• What’s VR mode?
VR (Video Recording) mode is a special mode
designed for home DVD recording. It allows flexible
editing of recorded material compared to ‘Video
mode’. On the other hand, Video mode discs are
more compatible with other DVD players.

using Windows Media Player for Windows XP,

Windows Media Player 9 or Windows Media Player 10
series.
Microsoft, Windows Media, and the Windows logo are
trademarks, or registered trademarks of Microsoft
Corporation in the United States and/or other countries.
• How do I change the format of a disc?
Both DVD-R and DVD-RW discs can be initialized for
Video mode or VR mode recording. DVD-R discs are
ready for Video mode recording when you first load
them into the recorder. You can, however, initialize
them for VR mode recording from the Disc Setup
menu.
JPEG file compatibility
• Compatible formats: Baseline JPEG and EXIF 2.2*
still image files
*File format used by digital still cameras
• Sampling ratio: 4:4:4, 4:2:2, 4:2:0
• Horizontal resolution: 160 – 5120 pixels
• Vertical resolution: 120 – 3840 pixels
• Progressive JPEG compatible: No
DVD-RW discs can be initialized and re-initialized for
either mode at any time (although initializing will
erase all the data on the disc).
• Can I play my recordable discs in a regular DVD player?
• File extensions: .jpg, .jpeg, .jif, .jfif (must be used for
the recorder to recognize JPEG files – do not use for
other file types)
Generally, DVD-R discs and DVD-RW discs recorded
in Video mode* are playable in a standard 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.
• File structure: The recorder can load up to 99 folders
/ 999 files at one time (if there are more files/folders
that this on the disc then more can be reloaded)
DVD-R discs recorded in VR mode are not playable in
standard DVD players, but may be playable in other
DVD recorders and DVD-ROM drives (in the case of
DVD-ROM drives, the disc will need to be finalized
first).
PC-created disc compatibility
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.
DVD-RW discs recorded in VR mode are playable in
some players and other recorders.
Discs recorded in packet write mode (UDF format) are
not compatible with this recorder.
Note that discs may not play due to recording or disc
characteristics, scratches or dirt on the disc or pickup
lens, etc.
Check the DVD-R/RW or CD-R/RW software disc boxes
for additional compatibility information.
This label indicates playback compatibility with
DVD-RW discs recorded in VR mode (Video
Recording format). However, for discs recorded with
a record-only-once encrypted program, playback can
only be achieved using a CPRM compatible device.
Note that Pioneer cannot guarantee that discs
recorded using this recorder will play on other players.

Please use the recorder following the guidelines below to
protect against possible HDD failure.
‘DVD-Video format’ recording: The use of the DVD-
Video format for recording on DVD-R and DVD-RW discs
is referred to as recording in ‘Video mode’ on Pioneer’s
DVD recorders. Supporting playback of DVD-R / DVD-
RW discs is optional for manufacturers of DVD
playback equipment, and there is DVD playback
equipment that does not play DVD-R or DVD-RW discs
recorded in the DVD-Video format.
The HDD should not be regarded as a place to store
recordings permanently. We recommend that you back up
your important recordings onto DVD-R/RW discs in order to
protect against accidental loss.
Pioneer cannot under any circumstances accept
resposibility for any direct or indirect loss arising from any
inconvenience or loss of recorded material resulting from
HDD failure.
Note: ‘Finalization’ is required.
This recorder supports the recording of ‘copy-once’
broadcast programs using the CPRM copy protection
system (see CPRM on page 50) on CPRM-compliant
discs in VR mode. CPRM recordings can only be played
on players that are specifically compatible with CPRM.
• Do not move the recorder while it is on (this includes
during EPG download when the display shows EPG).
• Install and use the recorder on a stable, level surface.
• Do not block the rear vent/cooling fan.
• Do I need two DVD recorders for editing? What kind of
editing can I do?
• 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.
Unlike editing video tape, you only need one DVD
recorder to edit discs. With VR mode discs, you can
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.
• While the recorder is switched on (including during
EPG download when the display shows EPG), do not
unplug from the wall socket or switch the electricity
off from the breaker switch.

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.

on the disc.
• Play List content refers to the edited version of the
disc—how the Original content is to be played.
Optimizing HDD performance
About the internal hard disk drive
As you record and edit material on the HDD, the data on
the disk becomes fragmented, eventually affecting the
recorder’s performance. Before this happens, the
recorder will warn you that it is time to optimize the HDD
(which you can do from the Disc Setup menu; see
Optimize HDD on page 88).
The internal hard disk drive (HDD) is a fragile piece of
equipment. Depending on the conditions under which it
is used, or through careless use, it is possible that the
recorded contents will be damaged or lost completely, or
that normal playback and recording will not be possible.
Please understand that in the event of repair or
replacement of the HDD or related components, all your
HDD recordings will be lost.

Connecting up

Connecting to an AV amplifier or receiver
To enjoy multichannel surround sound you need to connect this recorder to an AV amp/receiver using the digital
optical output. In addition to the digital connection, we recommend also connecting using the stereo analog
connection.
You’ll probably also want to connect a video output to your AV amp/receiver. Use the standard (composite) video
output (as shown here), or the S-video or component video connections.
See also Audio Out Settings on page 93 for how to set up the digital audio output. (Noise may be output from your
speakers if the recorder is not set up to work with your AV amp/receiver.)
Important
• Do not connect this recorder to your TV ‘through’ your VCR or other component using A/V cables. Always connect
it directly to your TV.

– For DVD recording, make sure there is a recordable
DVD loaded.
– Check that the recording appears in the Schedule
listing.
• The TV Guide On Screen system didn’t automatically
tune to a show that I set a reminder for.
– Check that the reminder appears in the Schedule
listing.
– If you have a cable box, check the placement of the
IR cable.

About DVD recording
About HDD recording
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.
Recording to the internal hard disk drive (HDD) is very
flexible; you have the full choice of recording quality
options, including manual mode, and of course you can
record, erase and re-record as many times as you like.
Both types of disc can be initialized for Video mode or VR
mode recording. Each has its advantages, and it depends
on what you want to do with the recording which mode
you choose.
Important
• The maximum number of titles/chapters per title that
can be recorded on the HDD is 999 and 99
respectively. No more recording is possible on the
HDD after the maximum number of titles has been
reached.
If you want to edit your recordings in any significant way,
VR mode offers greater possibilities for cutting, copying,
and changing the way the video is presented.
Video mode is less flexible when it comes to editing, but
it has the advantage that it is compatible with standard
• The maximum continuous recording time for one title
is 12 hours.
1
DVD players (many of which won’t play VR mode discs ).
Once a disc is initialized for a particular mode, all
recording on that disc will be in that mode.
HDD Video mode compatibility
When recording to the HDD you can choose to record in
one of two formats. Set the format from the HDD
Recording Format item in the Initial Setup menu (see
page 95).
Important
• The maximum number of titles and chapters that can
be recorded on a VR mode disc is 99 and 999
respectively; on a Video mode disc the maximum
number of titles and chapters is 99 and 99. No more
recording is possible on a disc that already contains
the maximum number of chapters/titles.
When set to Video Mode On, high-speed copying from
HDD to Video mode DVD is possible. When recording a
broadcast with a Secondary Audio Program (SAP)
channel, set which channel you want to record from the
Initial Setup menu (see Dual Mono Recording on
page 93).
• Unfinalized Video mode discs are not usable in other
DVD recorders. Likewise, unfinalized video mode
discs recorded using other recorders are not usable
in this recorder.
When HDD Recording Format is set to Video Mode Off,
high-speed copying isn’t possible. However, when SAP is
selected as the broadcast audio channel, both the main
and SAP channels are recorded and you can switch the
audio on playback.
• If power to the recorder is cut (due to a power outage,
the plug being pulled from the power outlet, etc.)
during recording, editing, initializing, finalizing or
other operation, some recorded material on the disc,
or the disc itself, may become unusable. In this case,
try re-initializing the disc (DVD-RW only), or use a
new disc. Pioneer is not responsible for lost
recordings, damaged discs or other losses in these
cases.
• Fingerprints and small scratches on a disc can affect
playback and/or recording performance. Please take
proper care of your discs.
• See also Disc / content format playback compatibility
on page 10 for detailed disc compatibility
information.
Note
1.Some DVD players, such as some Pioneer models, are compatible with VR mode discs. Check the operating instructions for your player for
VR mode compatibility information.

Recording time and picture quality

SAP
• LP (Long Play) – Lower video quality than SP, but
doubles the recording time on a DVD to about four
hours.
• EP (Extended Play) – Lower quality than LP, but gives
about six hours of recording time on a DVD disc.
Restrictions on video recording
You cannot record copy-protected video using this
recorder. Copy-protected video includes DVD-Video discs
and some satellite broadcasts. If copy-protected material
is encountered during a recording, recording will pause
automatically and an error message will be displayed on-
screen.
• SLP (Super Long Play) – Lower quality than EP, but
gives about eight hours of recording time on a DVD
disc.
• SEP (Super Extended Play) – Lowest video quality but
gives about ten hours of recording time on a DVD
disc.
Video that is ‘copy-once only’ can only be recorded on the
HDD or in VR mode (see below).
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 programs in different
recording modes to determine the combination of
picture quality and recording time that suits your needs.
We recommend using the XP mode for recording fast-
moving or action programs.
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).
CPRM
CPRM is a copy protection/scrambling system developed
for the recording of ‘copy once’ broadcast programs.
CPRM stands for Content Protection for Recordable
Media.
In addition to these settings, when Manual Recording is
On (see Manual Recording on page 95) you can access 32
different recording quality/time settings (MN1–MN32), a
high-quality audio mode (LPCM), and a super-high
quality (data transfer rate of around 15 Mbps) HDD
recording mode (XP+).
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-R (ver. 2.0/8x or higher) or DVD-RW (ver. 1.1 or
higher) discs formatted in VR mode or on the HDD.
Recorded audio
DVD CPRM recordings can only be played on players that
are specifically compatible with CPRM.
In all except the LPCM mode, sound is recorded in two
channel Dolby Digital format. When set to LPCM, sound
is recorded in high quality, uncompressed Linear PCM
format.
Recording equipment and copyright
If the broadcast audio has a SAP channel and you are
recording in Video mode or to the HDD with the HDD
Recording Format set to Video Mode On, or on the LPCM
setting, use the AUDIO button to select the Mono,
Stereo or SAP audio channel to record before recording
starts. In other cases, if SAP is selected then both the
main and SAP audio channels will be recorded and you
can switch on playback.
You may use this product only to reproduce or copy
materials for which you own the copyright or have
obtained permission to copy from the copyright owner or
for which you otherwise have a legal right to reproduce or
copy. Unless you own the copyright or have obtained
permission from the copyright owner or otherwise have a
legal right to reproduce or copy, you may be violating the
law, including copyright law, and may be subject to
payment of damages and other remedies.
Note
1.All recording times (both in this manual and those shown by the recorder) are approximate. This is because of the way that the video is re-
corded; you may get slightly more or slightly less, depending on what you’re recording.

A feature called Chase Play makes it possible to watch a
recording in progress (DVD or HDD) from the start of the
recording (as in, playback is ‘chasing’ the recording). For
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.

Use the REC MODE button to set the picture
quality/recording time.
• See Setting the picture quality/recording time above
for detailed instructions.
4
If the broadcast audio has a SAP channel (Second
Audio Program), press AUDIO to select the audio
channel to record.
Press repeatedly to switch between Mono, Stereo and
SAP audio channels.
In fact, you’re not just limited to watching the recording
in progress; you can watch anything else already on the
DVD or HDD by selecting it from the Disc Navigator
screen (see Using the Disc Navigator with recordable
discs and the HDD on page 58).
• When recording in VR mode (DVD) or with HDD
Recording Format set to Video Mode Off (HDD), both
mono and SAP audio channels are recorded,
allowing you to switch the audio channel on
playback. The only exception to this is when the
picture quality is set to LPCM, in which case you do
need to select the audio channel before recording.
Important
• Note that you must use a DVD-RW Ver. 1.1 / 2x or
Ver. 1.2 disc to be able to use this feature.
• You may not be able to use this feature with a
DVD-RW disc that was first initialized on another
recorder.

• How long finalization takes depends on the type of
disc, how much is recorded on the disc and the
number of titles on the disc. A disc recorded in VR

Initializing a recordable DVD disc
When you first load a blank disc, the recorder will
initialize it automatically for recording. You can also
manually initialize discs for either Video mode recording

or VR mode recording.
By default, the recorder initializes blank DVD-RW discs
for VR mode recording. See DVD-RW Auto Init. on page 95
if you want to change the default to Video mode.
DVD-R discs are ready for Video mode recordings out of
the box; if you want to use a DVD-R for VR mode
recording, you must do it before recording anything else
on the disc.
Important
• Initializing a DVD-RW disc will erase everything
recorded on it. Make sure there is nothing on the disc
that you want to keep!
• You may not be able to re-initialize a DVD-RW disc in
a different format if it was originally initialized on an
older DVD recorder.
• Once initialized for VR mode recording, you can’t re-
initialize a DVD-R back to Video mode.

Introduction
Use the copying features of this recorder to:
• Back up important recordings stored on the HDD to
a DVD.
Copyright
• Make a DVD copy of a recording on the HDD to play
in another player.
You may use this product only to reproduce or copy
materials for which you own the copyright or have
obtained permission to copy from the copyright owner or
for which you otherwise have a legal right to reproduce or
copy. Unless you own the copyright or have obtained
permission from the copyright owner or otherwise have a
legal right to reproduce or copy, you may be violating the
law, including copyright law, and may be subject to
payment of damages and other remedies.
• Transfer video from a DVD to the HDD for editing.
• Transfer edited video from the HDD to DVD.
The simplest way to copy a title is to use the One Touch
Copy feature. This copies the currently playing HDD title
to DVD, or DVD title to the HDD. See One Touch Copy on
page 66 for detailed instructions.
For more sophisticated copying tasks you can build a
Copy List of titles to copy, and edit titles so that you only
copy the bits you want. See Using Copy Lists on page 67
for detailed instructions.
One Touch Copy
Where possible, the recorder will copy your recordings at
high-speed. Depending on the recording mode, the kind
of disc loaded and various other factors, copying can be
as fast as one minute per hour of video. See Minimum
copying times on page 100 for more on copying times.
(Please note that additional time is required for
initializing and finalizing a disc.)
* See also Copyright above.
The One Touch Copy feature copies the currently playing
or selected (in the Disc Navigator) HDD title to DVD, or
DVD title to HDD. The whole title is copied, regardless of
where in the title you start the copy.
HDD to DVD copies are made in the same recording
mode. When copying DVD to HDD, the copy is made in
whatever recording mode is currently set.
If you want to save disc space you can copy video at a
lower recording quality (for example, an XP recording on
the HDD copied to SP on a DVD). Copying in this way is
always done in real-time.
Make sure that a recordable DVD-R/RW disc is loaded
when trying to copy from the HDD.
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 95).

COPY

If you’re copying from DVD to the HDD, use the
Restrictions on copying
REC MODE button to select a recording mode.
Note that selecting a recording mode higher than the title
playing will not result in a better quality recording.
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
disc compatible with CPRM Ver. 1.1 or higher (see CPRM
on page 50 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).

During playback, press ONE TOUCH COPY to
copy the current title.
The front panel display indicates that the title is being
copied.
• High-speed copying is used when copying from the
HDD to DVD. Playback continues while copying.
• Real-time copying is used when copying from DVD to
the HDD. Playback restarts from the beginning of the
title.

•
Press and hold ONE TOUCH COPY for more than
a second.
At its simplest, a Copy List is just a list of HDD or DVD
titles that you want to copy. When copying HDD titles to
DVD, you can, however, edit the titles in your copy list,
erasing chapters you don’t need, or re-naming titles, for
example. Edits you make to titles in the Copy List do not
affect the actual video content; only the ‘virtual’ content
of the Copy List. So you can freely erase and modify
anything in your Copy List safe in the knowledge that the
actual content is not being altered.
Copying is canceled and the video already copied is
erased.
• If you cancel a HDD to DVD-R copy, the space
available for recording does not return to the pre-
copy figure.
Notes on copying using One Touch Copy

Editing accuracy
HDD genres
Some editing (and Copy List) commands ask you
whether you want to keep Video mode compatibility or
frame accuracy (Video mode compatible editing, or Frame
accurate editing).
The large capacity of the HDD means that there may be
many hours of video in the recorder. To help you organize
your HDD video content you can assign different genres
to titles. There are five genres (set initially to FREE1–5)
that can be named and renamed as you like.
Frame accurate editing is very precise. The edit point is
accurate to the exact frame you choose. However, this
accuracy is not preserved in any copy you make if you use
the high-speed copy function to make a Video mode DVD.
Video mode compatible editing is less precise. The edit
point you choose will only be accurate to within 0.5–1
second. On the other hand, these edit points will be
preserved if you use high-speed copy to make a Video
mode DVD.

• I can’t edit my disc!
You may find that as the available recording time is
reduced on a VR mode DVD-R disc, editing is no
longer possible. This is because information about
your edits requires a certain amount of disc space.
As you edit, this information builds up, eventually
preventing you from editing further.

HDD
You can initialize a recordable DVD disc for either VR
mode or Video mode recording.
You’ll see a message appear on-screen recommending
you optimize the HDD.
The first time you load a new DVD-RW disc, it will be
automatically initialized for recording according to the
DVD-RW Auto Init. setting in the Initial Setup menu (see
page 95).
As you record, erase and edit recordings, the HDD file
system gradually becomes fragmented. Periodically, the
HDD will need optimizing to ‘clean up’ all the fragmented
files.
New DVD-R discs are ready for Video mode recording
when you load them, but it is also possible to initialize
them for VR mode recording.
Important
• Optimizing the HDD can take as long as eight hours.
During optimization, playback and recording are not
possible.
The initialize menu here lets you reinitialize a disc, for
example if you want to change the recording format of
the disc. See Initializing a recordable DVD disc on page 56
for detailed instructions.
• Canceling optimization mid-way does not undo the
optimization already done, so the HDD will be partly
optimized.
•
Select ‘Optimize HDD’ from the disc Setup menu.

You can undo the finalization on DVD-RW discs recorded

When your DVD recorder is working without a problem
this option is not visible in the Disc Setup menu.
However, if the HDD file system becomes corrupted for
some reason, you initialize the HDD to fix the problem.
Note that initializing the HDD will erase all the data on it.
You can also undo the finalization of VR mode discs
which have been finalized on other DVD recorders. If
when you load a disc the message This disc cannot be
recorded. Undo the finalization is displayed, use this
command to be able to record on the disc using this

Frequently asked questions
In this section you can find answers to frequently asked
questions on how to use your DVD recorder and what it
can do.
A standard DVD disc can hold only an hour of XP
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
high-speed copy). Alternatively, you could copy the
material in SP (or Optimized) mode so as to fit it all on
to one disc (note that there will be a loss in picture
quality if you do this).
• How do I make a high-quality copy?
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.
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 Copying and back-up on page 66.
• Can I record a broadcast containing a main and SAP
channel to the HDD, keeping both audio channels and
switch them on playback?
See also Copying and back-up on page 66.
Yes. When HDD Recording Format is set to Video
Mode Off (see HDD Recording Format on page 95)
and SAP is selected as the broadcast audio channel,
both channels of the broadcast are recorded (unless
you set the recording mode to LPCM, in which case
only the channel set using the Dual Mono Recording
setting will be recorded; see Using the built-in TV
tuner on page 28).
• Can I make a DVD copy of, say, a movie that has had
the commercials edited out?
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.

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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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).
Condensation
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.
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.
For more detailed care information see the instructions
that come with discs.

Glossary
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:
Analog audio
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.
Do...
ꢆ
Use in a well-ventilated room.
ꢆ
Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a table,
shelf or stereo rack.
Aspect ratio
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).
Don’t...
ꢇ
Use in a place exposed to high temperatures or
humidity, including near radiators and other heat-
generating appliances.
Chapter
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
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.
ꢇ
ꢇ
Digital audio
component in your stereo system that becomes hot in
use.
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.
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.

If you need to move the recorder, first remove the disc, if
there’s one loaded, and close the disc tray. Next, press ꢇ
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.

DRM (Digital Rights Management)
MPEG audio
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.
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
DTS
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.
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.
Optical digital output
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.
“DTS” and “DTS Digital Out” are registered trademarks of
Digital Theater Systems, Inc.
Dynamic range
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)
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.
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.
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.
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.
File extension
A tag added to the end of a filename to indicate the type
of file. For example, “.mp3” indicates an MP3 file.
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).
ISO 9660 format
International standard for the volume and file structure of
CD-ROM discs.
JPEG
PureCinema
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.
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.
MP3
MP3 (MPEG1 audio layer 3) is a compressed audio file
format. Files are recognized by their file extension “.mp3”
or “.MP3”.
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.
