About DVD 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.

A further difference between the two disc types is that

only DVD-RW can be initialized for

VR mode

recording,

which offers much more comprehensive editing

functions compared to

Video mode

recording.

The big advantage, however, of Video mode is its

compatibility with standard DVD players, most of which

will not play VR mode DVD-RW discs (see also the notes

below).

While DVD-R discs can only be recorded using the Video

mode, you can initialize a DVD-RW disc for Video or VR

mode recordings. Once initialized (any previous content

is erased in this operation), all recordings on that disc

will be in the chosen recording mode.

Important

• You cannot play, edit or record on unfinalized DVD-R/

RW discs recorded in Video mode on other DVD

recorders. (Likewise, unfinalized Video mode discs

recorded on this recorder are not playable on other

players/recorders.)

• This recorder cannot record onto CD-R or CD-RW

discs.

• Pioneer takes no responsibility for recording failure

due to power cuts, defective discs, or damage to the

recorder.

• Fingerprints and small scratches on a disc can affect

playback and/or recording performance. Please take

proper care of your discs.

• Although this recorder can record PAL, SECAM,

NTSC and PAL-60, you can’t mix multiple TV line

systems on one disc. A disc can contain PAL and

SECAM recordings, or NTSC and PAL-60. See also

Input Line System

on page 74.

Note

• Some DVD players, such as some Pioneer models,

are compatible with VR mode DVD-RW discs. Check

the operating instructions for your player for VR

mode compatibility information.

• The maximum number of titles that can be recorded

on a DVD-R/RW disc is 99.

• The maximum number of chapters recordable on a

DVD-R/RW disc is 999.

• No more recording is possible on a disc that already

contains the maximum number of chapters/titles.

Recording time and picture quality

There are four preset recording quality modes:

•

FINE

– Highest quality setting, gives about one hour

of recording time.

•

(Standard Play) – Default quality, sufficient for

most applications, gives about two hours of

recording time.

•

(Long Play) – Slightly lower video quality, but

doubles the recording time to around four hours.

•

(Extended Play) – Use when maximum recording

time is most important; EP gives you around six

hours of recording time.

In addition to these settings, you can access 32 different

recording quality/time settings when manual recording

mode is on (see

Manual Recording

on page 82), giving

you precise control over the recording.

When setting a timer recording there is a further option,

AUTO

, which maximizes the recording quality for the

space available on the disc loaded at the time of

recording.

In all except the

FINE

MN32

modes, sound is recorded in

two channel Dolby Digital format. When set to

FINE

MN32

, sound is recorded in high quality, uncompressed

Linear PCM format.

If the broadcast audio is bilingual and you are recording

in Video mode, or in VR mode on the

FINE

MN32

setting,

use the Bilingual Recording setting (page 79) to select

the

A/L

B/R

audio channel to record before recording

starts.

Note

• Note that all recording times (both here and those

shown by the recorder) are only approximate. This is

because of the way that the video is recorded; you

may get slightly more or slightly less, depending on

what you’re recording.
