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.

cord. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other

cords. The power cords should be routed such that they

are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord

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.

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.

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.

Decibel

Level Example

30 Quiet library, soft whispers

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

Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock

at two feet.

THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS

UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE

Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower

100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill

120 Rock band concert in front of speakers,

thunderclap

140 Gunshot blast, jet plane

180 Rocket launching pad

Information courtesy of the Deafness Research Foundation.

CAUTION

This product is a class 1 laser product, but this product

contains a laser diode higher than Class 1.

To ensure continued safety, do not remove any covers or

attempt to gain access to the rear of the product.

Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.

VOD content

In order to play DivX VOD (video on demand)

content on this recorder, you first need to

content provider. You do this by generating a

DivX VOD registration code, which you

submit to your provider.

Some DivX VOD content may only be

playable a fixed number of times. When you

content, the remaining number of plays is

shown on-screen and you then have the

option of playing the disc (thereby using up

one of the remaining plays), or stopping. If

you load a disc that contains expired DivX

VOD content (for example, content that has

zero remaining plays), the message

Rental

Expired

is displayed.

If your DivX VOD content allows an unlimited

number of plays, then you may load the disc

into your recorder and play the content as

often as you like, and no message will be

displayed.

Important

•DivX VOD content is protected by a DRM

(Digital Rights Management) system.

This restricts playback of content to

specific, registered devices.

•If you load a disc that contains DivX VOD

content not authorized for this recorder,

About the internal hard disk

drive

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.

Please use the recorder following the

guidelines below to protect against possible

HDD failure.

The HDD should not be regarded as a place to

store recordings permanently. We

recommend that you back up your important

recordings onto DVD discs in order to protect

against accidental loss.

Pioneer cannot under any circumstances

accept responsibility for any direct or indirect

loss arising from any inconvenience or loss of

recorded material resulting from HDD failure.

•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.

• Do not move the recorder immediately

after switching it off. If you need to move

the recorder, please follow the steps

below:

After the message

POWER OFF

shown in the display, wait at least two

minutes.

Unplug from the wall socket.

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.

DVR640H_KU_EN.book 14 ページ２００６年３月７日　火曜日　午後３時１８分

Before you start 01

• 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.

Optimizing HDD performance

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

page 105).

Using other types of video

output

This recorder has standard (composite), S-

video and component video outputs. The

main difference between them is the quality

of the picture. S-video delivers a better

picture than composite video, while

component video gives better picture quality

still. The variety of outputs also gives you the

flexibility of connecting your particular

equipment using the best connection type

available.

1 Connecting using an S-video output

S-video carries the picture as separate color

and luminance (brightness) signals.

There are two S-video outputs for connection

to TVs, monitors, VCRs or other equipment.

•Use an S-video cable (not supplied) to

connect an S-VIDEO OUTPUT (1 or 2) to

an S-video input on your TV, monitor (or

other equipment).

2 Connecting using the component

video output

Component video carries the picture as two

separate color signals, plus a luminance

(brightness) signal.

Undo

If you make a mistake while editing, you can

generally undo it. There is one level of undo

(in other words, you can only undo the last

edit you made).

• Select ‘Undo’ from the

command menu panel.

•You can’t undo anything after exiting the

Disc Navigator screen.

Frequently asked questions

• Why doesn’t the available recording time

increase when I erase titles from a VR

mode DVD-R?

When you erase titles from a DVD-R (or

DVD+R), the titles are no longer

displayed, but the content remains on

the disc. DVD-R/+R are write-once

media; they can’t be erased or rewritten.

•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.

Copying and backup

Chapter 8

Copying and backup

Introduction

Use the copying features of this recorder to:

•Back up important recordings stored on

the HDD to a DVD.

• Make a DVD copy of a recording on the

HDD to play in another player.

• 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

page 81 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 82 for

detailed instructions.

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 119 for

more on copying times. (Please note that

additional time is required for initializing and

finalizing a disc.)

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.

When real-time copying from the HDD to a

Video mode DVD-R/-RW or DVD+R/+RW,

the chapter markers in the original material

are not copied. Chapter markers are put into

the copy at intervals, according to the Auto

Chapter settings (see also

Auto Chapter

(Video)

and

Auto Chapter (DVD+R/+RW)

page 115).

Restrictions on copying

Commercial DVD-Video discs are protected

using Copy Guard. These discs cannot be

copied to the HDD.

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 a

CPRM ver. 1.1 or higher VR mode DVD-RW,

ver. 2.0 or 2.1 VR mode DVD-R, or CPRM-

compatible DVD-RAM disc (see

CPRM

page 35 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).

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.

or copy materials for which you own the

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

right to reproduce or copy, you may be

violating the law, including copyright law,

One Touch Copy

* See also

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.

Make sure that a recordable DVD disc is

loaded when trying to copy from the HDD.

1 If you’re copying from DVD to

the HDD, select a recording mode.

Note that selecting a recording mode higher

than the title playing will not result in a better

quality recording.

2 Press during playback 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.

Canceling One Touch Copy

You can cancel a One Touch Copy once it’s

started.

• Press and hold for more than a

second.

Copying is canceled and the video already

copied is erased.

•If you cancel a HDD to DVD-R/+R copy,

the space available for recording does

not return to the pre-copy figure.

Notes on copying using One Touch

Copy

Copying to DVD

• Title name, chapter markers, as well as

thumbnail picture markers for the Disc

Navigator, are also copied. However, if

you copy to a Video mode DVD-R/-RW or

DVD+R/+RW, only the first 40

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 DVD-R/-RW or DVD+R/+RW.

• You can’t use the One Touch Copy

function to copy a title if any part of the

title is copy-once protected.

•A title that contains mixed aspect ratios

can’t be copied to a Video mode disc.

Use a VR mode DVD-R/-RW or DVD-RAM

disc for this type of material.

Using Copy Lists

* See also

on page 81.

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 from HDD to DVD

Important

•The recorder can only store one Copy List

at a time.

• Resetting the recorder to its factory

settings (see

Resetting the recorder

page 132) will erase the Copy List.

1 Load a recordable DVD.

• It is possible to complete the following

steps without having a recordable DVD

loaded (or having an uninitialized DVD

loaded); however, the steps are slightly

different.

•If you want to use a DVD-RW (VR mode)

disc for the copy, make sure it is

initialized before you start.

Using the Jukebox

Chapter 9

Using the Jukebox

The Jukebox feature allows you to use the

recorder’s HDD to store and playback music

from up to 999 of your CDs. You can also

transfer WMA/MP3 files stored on CD-R/-

RW/-ROM or a USB device. Once on the

HDD, you can name albums, assign them a

genre, and set tracks that you don’t want to

play to Jump.

Copying music to the HDD

The first step is to copy some music to the

HDD. CD audio is copied in real-time, while

WMA and MP3 files are copied at high

speed. All tracks are copied from each CD

as an album.

WMA/MP3 album and track names are

copied along with the audio. CD album and

track names are not copied, but you can add

these later (see

Editing Jukebox albums

page 92).

Usually, the tracks are copied to the HDD in

the order they appear on the CD. When

copying CD audio, you can copy them in

some other order using the program play

mode. See

Program play

on page 61 for how

to do this.

Note that once copied to the HDD, audio

tracks cannot be copied to a recordable DVD

disc.

Important

• While copying CD audio, no other

recorder operation is possible.

timer recordings will not start until

copying is complete.

disc for either VR mode or Video mode

recording.

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 115).

New DVD-R discs are ready for Video mode

possible to initialize them for VR mode

recording.

DVD+RW and DVD-RAM discs can also be

initialized as a way of erasing the entire disc.

When initializing a DVD-RAM disc, select VR

mode.

See

Initializing recordable DVD discs

page 51 for detailed instructions.

Finalize settings

Finalize

Finalizing ‘fixes’ the recordings in place so

that the disc can be played on a regular DVD

DVD-ROM drive.

It is also possible to finalize DVD+RW discs.

This is only necessary if you want to a player

to display a title menu for the disc.

See

Playing your recordings on other DVD

players

on page 49 for detailed instructions.

Undo Finalize

You can undo the finalization on DVD-RW

discs recorded on this recorder in Video

mode. You need to do this if you want to

record more material or edit material already

on the disc.

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 recorder.

1 Select ‘Disc Setup’ from the

Home Menu.

2 Select ‘Finalize’ > ‘Undo

Finalize’ then ‘Start’.

Note

Optimize HDD

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.

When the HDD needs optimizing the

recorder will automatically display a

message recommending optimization.

Important

•Optimizing the HDD can take as long as

eight hours. During optimization,

playback and recording are not possible.

• Canceling optimization mid-way does

not undo the optimization already done,

so the HDD will be partly optimized.

1 Select ‘Disc Setup’ from the

Home Menu.

2 Select ‘Optimize HDD’ then

‘Start’.

A progress bar indicates how long there is

left to go.

Initialize HDD

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 can initialize the HDD to fix the problem.

Note that initializing the HDD will erase all

the data on it.

Home Menu.
