playback from discs that have been recorded
on the unit due to the recording conditions,
surface dirt or scratches.
• This mode can be used for DVD-RW.
• In this mode, the discs can be recorded and
edited repeatedly.
• The disc recorded in this mode can be played
back with other DVD-RW-compatible players.
• When a Ver.1.1 CPRM or Ver.1.2 CPRM disc is

Title/Chapter/Track
Disc playback in other players
A DVD-Video has large partitions called “Titles”, and
smaller partitions within them called “Chapters”.
A music CD has other partitions called “Tracks”. A
number is allotted to each partition and these
numbers are called “title numbers”, “chapter
numbers” or “track numbers”.
A disc recorded in this unit can be finalised. The
disc can be played back in other players that can
playback DVD-RW and DVD-R.
For more information on finalisation, see “FINALISE”
in “Setting the disc” (page 23).
When recording in the VR mode
DVD DISC

TRACK 4
TRACK 5
Even if a disc recorded in the VR mode is finalised,
you can record or edit by cancelling the finalisation.
(See “UNDO FINALISE” on page 23.)
When you playback the disc with another player,
make sure that the DVD player supports DVD-RW
and bears the following mark.
Audio-CD
TRACK 1
TRACK 2
TRACK 3
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 27.)
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 27.)
NOTES:
• 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
finalised, it cannot be recorded onto any more.
Therefore, before finalisation, be sure to perform all
desired recording. After finalisation, a title list that
can be used by the DVD player is automatically
created.
NOTES:
• The finalisation 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
finalisation, but if you format the disc by erasing
all the content, you can again record on this disc.
• A finalised 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.

Different scanning modes
Interlaced scan
Technology that alternately displays odd-numbered scanning lines
and even-numbered scanning lines. Also called “576i”, “i” meaning
“interlace”.
Progressive scan
Technology that simultaneously displays odd-numbered scanning
lines and even-numbered scanning lines from top to bottom. Also
called “576p”, “p” meaning “progressive”.
NOTES:
• Some discs may not be played back with the progressive scan mode correctly because of the disc characteristics or recording condition.
• There are some progressive TV and High-Definition TV sets that are not fully compatible with the unit, resulting
in an unnatural picture when playing back a DVD disc in the progressive scan mode. In such a case, use the
interlaced scanning mode.
• You cannot activate the progressive scan mode in the following cases:
- The unit is in the VCR mode.
- A DVD disc is currently playing. You must stop playback first.

Recording
Read this before recording on disc
This section explains things you
must know to record onto a disc.
Read it before attempting to record.
Types of disc
You can use DVD-RW and DVD-R discs to record video.
DVD-RW discs
• Ver 1.1/1.2 discs can be formatted for recording in either of the two
modes: the VR mode or the Video mode. Ver.1.0 discs can only be
formatted for recording in the VR mode.
• High quality images and sound can be repeatedly recorded about
1,000 times.
• A disc formatted in the VR mode can have as many as 99 original
titles and playlist titles each. Discs formatted in the Video mode
can have up to 99 original titles.
DVD-R discs
• Discs can only be recorded in the Video mode.
• Discs can be recorded only once.
• Up to 99 titles can be created.
NOTE:
Should a power failure occur or
should the AC cord plug be
disconnected while recording,
editing, initializing, finalising or any
other function, the program being
recorded will be lost or the disc
may not be playable. Manufacturer
can not guarantee against loss of
program or disc should this occur.
For more information on recording format, see “Recording
format” (page 10).
Notes on recording in the Video mode
• The Video mode cannot be selected for Ver. 1.0 DVD-RW discs.
• The remaining available area on the disc decreases as recording
progresses. Additional contents can be recorded in the remaining
time area, but it cannot be overwritten into the recorded area.
• To format a new DVD-RW in the Video mode, set the automatic
format feature to the Video mode. (See page 23.)
Recording modes
There are 4 modes for recording on disc. Recording time and quality
vary according to mode.
NOTES:
Recording time can change for the
following reasons.
• When image quality is poor as
during poor TV reception.
• When recording on a disc that
has been edited before.
• When the video is followed with
recordings of still images or just
audio.

Recording time
Can record high quality images.
Can record normal quality images.
Quality deteriorates slightly, but
recording time is longer.
Recording time is prioritised over
quality.
• Recording time above is based on a 4.7GB disc.
Since DVD recording is performed using VBR (Variable Bit Rate),
recording time varies according to the recorded content.
To know the correct recording time, stop recording and check the
media information. (See page 32.)

Disc remaining time
NOTES:
• Because of characteristics
peculiar to digital video compression technology, scenes with fast
motion may appear as a matrix
of larger blocks.
• During recording, if the picture
noise continues for 1 minute, the
recording will stop automatically.
VR mode
• Recording is possible as long as there is available space on the
disc. (Finalised discs can be recorded by cancelling the
finalisation, see “UNDO FINALISE” on page 23.)
• Erasing unnecessary title frees up available space on the disc.
(Titles can be erased from finalised discs by first undoing the
finalisation. See “UNDO FINALISE” on page 23.)
Video mode
• Up until the disc is finalised, recording is possible as long as there
is available space on the disc. (Once the disc has been finalised,
additional recording and erasing are not possible.)
• The remaining time cannot be increased, nor can recorded title be
overwritten.
• Titles cannot be erased nor can recorded titles be overwritten.
Images that cannot be recorded
Some DVD-Video and broadcasts contain copy-restriction signals to
protect copyrights. There are 3 types of copy-restriction signals:
“Copy Free”, “Copy Never” and “Copy Once”.
“Copy Free” (unrestricted recording)
Land-based TV broadcasts and images you record yourself with a
video camera allow unrestricted recording. There are no restrictions
on recording.
“Copy Never” (recording prohibited)
• Images that contain the recording prohibited signal cannot be
recorded.
• If the recording prohibited signal appears halfway through an
image you are recording, recording is paused at that instant. When
the recording prohibited signal ends, recording resumes.
• This unit incorporates a built-in copy guard. It cannot record
software or broadcasted programs that contain copy restriction
signals designed to protect copyright, etc.
“Copy Once” (one-time recordable)
Programs (images) that contain the one-time recordable signal can
be recorded only in the VR mode using a DVD-RW disc that supports CPRM Ver. 1.1 and Ver. 1.2.

VIDEO Plus+ system is a timer
programming system which
simplifies timer recording
programming. Instead of entering
the date, channel and recording
time, you simply enter a
PlusCodeTM programming number
that you can find in your TV
listings.
Preparation:
• Turn ON the TV and select its AV channel (this may be labelled EXT /
AUX etc.).
• Load a recordable DVD or video tape into the unit.
• Press DVD/VCR to select the appropriate mode.
Checking the channel setup to use the VIDEO
Plus+ system
Before you can use the VIDEO Plus+ system you need to set up the
channel mapping. This ensures that the VIDEO Plus+ system uses
the correct channels for recording by matching up the preset
channels in the recorder with “guide channels”. You can find these
guide channel numbers in your local TV guide or newspaper TV
listings.

just once or regularly, and then select the DVD or the VCR for recording.
Note that for the VIDEO Plus+ system to work correctly, the clock must be
set to the right time and the guide channels must be setup. (See “Checking

Stereo recording and playback
VCR
This VCR/DVD is capable of recording
Hi-Fi quality sound. When recording on
a video cassette, a broadcast which is
transmitted in NICAM Stereo normally
records to the HiFi audio tracks - the
normal Mono FM audio signal is
recorded to the mono audio track on the
cassette. The NICAM stereo reception
can be switched off if required, but
normally you would leave this on the
Automatic setting (See page 26). When a
bilingual broadcast is received, both
soundtracks will be recorded (when
recording to cassette only). However,
bilingual broadcasts are not usually
transmitted in the UK.
NICAM programmes are divided
into 4 types as shown below.

Editing the disc
This section explains how to edit
the recorded contents on DVDRWs. However, the items that
you can edit vary with the
recording formats. In VR mode,
you can edit various title menus,
whereas in Video mode, you can
edit only a few items.
Title menu
When the content is recorded, a title name that includes the date,
time, channel number and other information is created automatically.
The title menu can be used when you playback after confirming the
contents (see page 31), or when you check the contents recorded on
the disc.
Original title
The titles explained above are called original titles; these will be
added with every recording. In VR mode you can do various editing
operations i.e., you can rename the titles, or add the chapter marks.
In addition, you can erase the unnecessary titles to increase the disc
space.
Playlist
You can create a playlist based on the original titles.
You can combine or erase undesired scenes.
If you create a playlist it will become the primary list used by the disc.
If you create a playlist to customise your viewing preferences, and
choose to delete it, the original titles will not be affected. It is recommended to create and edit the playlist to prevent important titles from
being erased accidentally.
If you create a playlist, both the original title and playlist will be
displayed on the title menu.
Editable items
The items that can be edited are different between original title and
playlist. For the disc in Video mode, only the title name can be
edited.
The items can be edited in each are as follows:
Editing items
NOTES:
• This unit may not be able to

• You cannot edit or record the
disc on which disc protection is
set. In such a case, be sure to
cancel the disc protection (see
page 23) before starting the
operation.
• When a scene has been erased,
the selected position for erasing
may vary slightly from the actual
erased position.

Video head cleaning
Video Head Clogging
The video heads record and playback pictures and sound
on the video tape. In the event that they become dirty you
won't be able to do a perfect recording and the playback
picture will be extremely snowy. Also, keep in mind that a
poor tape quality and a damaged cassette may contribute
to the rapid accumulation of dirt on the heads.
Good Picture
Snowy Picture
VIDEO HEAD CLEANING
Video head cleaning is needed when the playback picture becomes unclear. This signifies that the heads are getting
dirty and can occur when playing poor quality or damaged tapes. If the heads require cleaning, use a equivalent high
quality chemical non-abrasive (wet) head cleaning tape or have them cleaned professionally. If playing a head
cleaning tape in the VCR once does not improve the picture, play it several times before requesting service.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE TOP COVER.
NOTES: • Video heads may eventually wear out and should be replaced when they fail to produce clear
pictures.
• To help prevent video head clogging, use only good quality VHS tapes. Discard worn out tapes.

1 Make sure that the recorder is on and remove 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.
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.
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).
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.
For more detailed care information see the instructions
that come with discs.
Do not load more than one disc into the recorder.
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.
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 Pioneerauthorized service center. Although lens cleaners for
CD players are commercially available, we do not rec88 ommend using them since some may damage the lens.

Please do not use the following kinds of video tape:
- Dusty or mouldy tape
- Tape on which liquid has been spilled
- Tape which has been broken and then repaired
- Tape which has become unwound from the spools
in the cassette
• Dirty heads and very long length, thin video tape
can cause problems such as uneven playback.
• When using a new video tape, fast-forward to the
end, then rewind it back to the start before using.
• Avoid dropping video tapes or exposing them to severe vibration.
Storing video tapes
• After using a video tape, rewind it back to the beginning and return to its case.
• Do not store tapes:
- in excessively dusty places
- in excessively hot or humid places
