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.
Both types of disc can be initialized for Video mode or VR
mode recording. Each has its advantages, and it depends
on what you want to do with the recording which mode
you choose.
If you want to edit your recordings in any significant way,
VR mode is the one to go for as it offers greater
possibilities for cutting, copying, and changing the way
the video is presented.
Video mode is less flexible when it comes to editing, but
it has the advantage that it is compatible with standard
DVD players (many of which won't play VR mode discs
Once a disc is initialized for a particular mode, all
recording on that disc will be in that mode.
Important
• The maximum number of titles and chapters that can
be recorded on a VR mode disc is 99 and 999
respectively; on a Video mode disc the maximum
number of titles and chapters is 99 and 99. No more
recording is possible on a disc that already contains
the maximum number of chapters/titles.
• Unfinalized Video mode discs are not usable in other
DVD recorders. Likewise, unfinalized video mode
discs recorded using other recorders are not usable
in this recorder.
• If power to the recorder is cut (due to a power outage,
the plug being pulled from the power outlet, etc.)
during recording, editing, initializing, finalizing or
other operation, some recorded material on the disc,
or the disc itself, may become unusable. In this case,
try re-initializing the disc (DVD-RW only), or use a
new disc. Pioneer is not responsible for lost
recordings, damaged discs or other losses in these
cases.
• Fingerprints and small scratches on a disc can affect
playback and/or recording performance. Please take
proper care of your discs.
• See also Disc / content format playback compatibility
on page 9 for detailed disc compatibility information.
Note
1.Some DVD players, such as some Pioneer models, are compatible with VR mode discs. Check the operating instructions for your player for
VR mode compatibility information.
• 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
Additional information about the TV system settings
on page 98.
About HDD recording
Recording to the internal hard disk drive (HDD) is very
flexible; you have the full choice of recording quality
options, including manual mode, and of course you can
record, erase and re-record as many times as you like.
The capacity of the hard disk drive means that you can
store many hours of video on it, even using the higher
quality recording modes.

).
Important
• The maximum number of titles/chapters per title that
can be recorded on the HDD is 999 and 99
respectively. No more recording is possible on the
HDD after the maximum number of titles has been
reached.
• The maximum continuous recording time for one title
is 12 hours.
• It is possible to record both PAL and NTSC titles on
the HDD. Before recording, you need to make sure
that the Input Line System setting (page 98) matches
the TV line system of the source you're recording.
HDD Video mode compatibility
When recording to the HDD you can choose to record in
one of two formats. Set the format from the HDD
Recording Format item in the Initial Setup menu (see
page 96).
When set to Video Mode On, high-speed copying from
HDD to Video mode DVD is possible. When recording a
bilingual broadcast, set which channel you want to
record from the Initial Setup menu (see Bilingual
Recording on page 94).
When HDD Recording Format is set to Video Mode Off,
high-speed copying isn't possible. However, both
channels of bilingual broadcasts are recorded and you
can switch the audio on playback.
