GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION
• If this product is equipped with a polarized
alternating current line plug (a plug having one
blade wider than the other), it will fit into the
outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If
you are unable to insert the plug fully into the
outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should
still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace
your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.
• If this product is equipped with a three-wire
grounding type plug, a plug having a third
(grounding) pin, it will only fit into a grounding
type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you
are unable to insert the plug into the outlet,
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
grounding type plug.
POWER-CORD PROTECTION — Power-supply
cords should be routed so that they are not likely
to be walked on or pinched by items placed
upon or against them, paying particular
attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the product.
OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING — If an
outside antenna or cable system is connected to
the product, be sure the antenna or cable
system is grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built-up
static charges. Article 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides
information with regard to proper grounding of
the mast and supporting structure, grounding of
the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit,
size of grounding conductors, location of
antenna-discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode. See Figure A.
LIGHTNING — For added protection for this
product during a lightning storm, or when it is
left unattended and unused for long periods of
time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the antenna or cable system. This
will prevent damage to the product due to
lightning and power-line surges.
POWER LINES — An outside antenna system
should not be located in the vicinity of overhead
power lines or other electric light or power
circuits, or where it can fall into such power
lines or circuits. When installing an outside
antenna system, extreme care should be taken
to keep from touching such power lines or
circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
OVERLOADING — Do not overload wall outlets,
extension cords, or integral convenience
receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.
OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY — Never push
objects of any kind into this product through
openings as they may touch dangerous voltage
points or short-out parts that could result in a
fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any
kind on the product.
SERVICING — Do not attempt to service this
product yourself as opening or removing covers
may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.
DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE — Unplug this
product from the wall outlet and refer servicing
to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions:
• When the power-supply cord or plug is
damaged.
• If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen
into the product.
• If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
• If the product does not operate normally by
following the operating instructions. Adjust only
those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions as an improper adjustment of other
controls may result in damage and will often
require extensive work by a qualified technician
to restore the product to its normal operation.
• If the product has been dropped or damaged in
any way.
• When the product exhibits a distinct change in
performance — this indicates a need for service.
REPLACEMENT PARTS — When replacement parts
are required, be sure the service technician has
used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer or have the same characteristics
as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions
may result in fire, electric shock, or other
hazards.
SAFETY CHECK — Upon completion of any service
or repairs to this product, ask the service
technician to perform safety checks to
determine that the product is in proper
operating condition.

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime
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.
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.
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.
Once you have established a comfortable sound
level:
• Set the dial and leave it there.
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.

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.

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. DVDAudio content will not play. For more detailed
information on the DualDisc specification, please refer
to the disc manufacturer or disc retailer.
Older models of DVD recorders and DVD writers may
reject DVD-RW Ver. 1.2 / 4x discs. If you want to share
DVD-RW discs between this recorder and an older
recorder/writer, we recommend using Ver. 1.1 discs.
The following table shows older Pioneer DVD recorder

When recording in the Video mode
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.)
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.)
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.
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.
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.
• 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.
