Recording format

This unit has two modes for formatting discs for

recording: VR mode and Video mode.

When a blank, new disc is loaded into this unit, the

automatic format function starts to format the disc.

(For the disc format setting in this step, see page

23.)

VR mode

•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

used, you can record a “Copy Once” program

(see page 51).

Video mode

•This mode can be used for DVD-R and DVD-RW

(Ver.1.1/1.2).

•When you finalise the disc after recording, the

disc recorded with this unit can be played back

with other DVD players.

•Recording, editing or playback of an unfinalised

disc can be done only with this unit. However,

there are some limitation to editing operations.

•In this mode, you cannot record a “Copy Once”

program (see page 51).

•When you record a TV program of a bilingual

broadcast, only one of the audio modes can be

recorded. You have to select it.

Format modes that can be used with each

disc

The usable format depends on the media type as

shown in the below table.

DVD-RW

•The disc can be erased and used again about

1,000 times.

•Only the VR mode can be used for Ver.1.0 discs.

•With Ver.1.1/1.2 discs, you can record by select-

ing the VR mode or Video mode.

•When you record in the VR mode, you can repeat-

edly record and erase. By erasing unnecessary

titles, you effectively increase remaining time.

•When you record in the Video mode, you can

record until the disc becomes full.

•When you use the Video mode, you can newly

record on the disc by formatting the disc. How-

ever, if the disc is formatted, all the recorded

contents will be erased.

DVD-R

•You can record on the disc only in the Video

mode.

•You can record until the disc becomes full.

•Finalising the discs allows playback on other DVD

players. However, the finalised discs can no

longer be recorded.

•Discs can be recorded to repeatedly until they are

finalised.

NOTES:

•There are some players that cannot playback

discs that were recorded with this unit. We cannot

guarantee the playback with other units.

•This unit cannot record on DVD-R and DVD-RW

discs that are 8 cm in diameter.

•This unit cannot record on CD-R or CD-RW.

•This unit may not be able to record to or

playback from discs that have been recorded

on other units due to the recording conditions,

surface dirt or scratches.

•Other units may not be able to record to or

playback from discs that have been recorded

on the unit due to the recording conditions,

surface dirt or scratches.

Disc playback in other players

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

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.

When recording in the Video mode

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.

Title/Chapter/Track

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”.

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.

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 characteris-

tics 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

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.

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.

• 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.)

This section explains things you

must know to record onto a disc.

Read it before attempting to record.

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.

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.

Disc remaining time

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 sup-

ports CPRM Ver. 1.1 and Ver. 1.2.

Playback

Press AUDIO SELECT to select either stereo/mono or

bilingual playback (where applicable). See the table below for

more information.

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.

Output selection for DVD

You can switch between the left or right channel and stereo

only when playing a disc on which a bilingual broadcast was

recorded in the DVD-RW VR mode. It is not possible to

switch between channels otherwise as only the channel

selected in the setting of NICAM (AUTOMATIC or OFF) is

recorded in the DVD-RW Video mode or DVD-R (see page

25).

Editing the disc

This section explains how to edit

the recorded contents on DVD-

RWs. 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 recom-

mended 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:

NOTES:

•This unit may not be able to

record or edit a disc which was

recorded or edited using another

DVD recorder.

•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.

VCR

OTHER

Good Picture Snowy Picture

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.

Video head cleaning

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.

Resetting the recorder

If you need to, you can reset the recorder to all its factory settings.

1 Make sure that the recorder is on and remove the disc.

2 Press and hold and press STANDBY/ON.

The recorder turns off with all settings reset.

Additional information

Handling video tapes

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 se-

vere vibration.

Storing video tapes

•After using a video tape, rewind it back to the begin-

ning and return to its case.

•Do not store tapes:

- in excessively dusty places

- in excessively hot or humid places

- in direct sunlight

- near air-conditioners or heaters

- near strong magnetic fields

Moving the recorder

If you need to move the recorder, first remove the disc

and the cassette, if they are loaded, and close the disc

tray. Next press STANDBY/ON to switch the power to

standby. Lastly, disconnect the power cord.

Hints on installation

We want you to enjoy using this unit for years to come,

so please bear in mind the following points when choos-

ing a suitable location for it:

Do...

Use in a well-ventilated room.

Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a table,

shelf or stereo rack.

Don't...

Use in a place exposed to high temperatures or

humidity, including near radiators and other heat-

generating appliances.

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 com-

ponent in your stereo system that becomes hot in

use.

Use near a television or monitor as you may expe-

rience interference-especially if the television uses

an indoor antenna.

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.

Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not

large enough to support all four of the unit's feet.

Other (Additional information)

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 record-

ing 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 unus-

able.

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, in-

cluding products designed for clean-

ing 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, re-

turn it to its case and store upright. Avoid leaving discs

in excessively cold, humid, or hot environments (includ-

ing 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 in-

strument. 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 dam-

aging the recorder.

This recorder is designed for use with conventional, fully

circular discs only. Use of shaped discs is not recom-

mended 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 malfunc-

tion due to dust or dirt, consult your nearest Pioneer-

authorized service center. Although lens cleaners for

CD players are commercially available, we do not rec-

ommend using them since some may damage the lens.
