S001_En 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. T aking 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 Y ou 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 librar y , soft whispers 40 Living room, refrigerator , bedroom away from traffic 50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office 60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine 70 V acuum cleaner , hair dr yer , noisy restaurant 80 Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock at two feet. THE FOLL OWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS UNDER CONST ANT EXPOSURE 90 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 F oundation .

Before you start 01 8 En Chapter 1 Before you start Features • Chase play Using chase play you can start watching a recording before the recording has finished. For example, you could set a timer recording for a program that you’re going to miss the first 15 minutes of, then start watching while the recorder is still recording the program 15 minutes ahead of you. • Simultaneous recording and playback This feature allows you to record a broadcast program while watching something else already recorded on the same disc. • Disc Navigator The on-screen Disc Navigator makes finding your way around the contents of a disc easy. For recordable DVD content, moving thumbnail images are displayed for ease of use. The Disc Navigator is also where you can edit recordable DVD content. • Disc History The Disc History screen shows disc information, including how much free space remains for recording, for the last 30 recordable discs loaded in the recorder. Every time you load a recordable disc, the Disc History is automatically updated with the latest information. • Home Menu The Home Menu gives you on-screen access to all the recorder’s features in one convenient place, from setting up the recorder, to programming a timer recording and editing a recording. • Progressive scan-compatible Compared to standard interlaced video, progressive scan effectively doubles the amount of video information fed to your TV or monitor. The result is a stable, flicker-free image. (Check your TV/monitor for compatibility with this feature.) • Cinema surround sound in your home Connect this recorder to a Dolby Digital and/or DTS- compatible amplifier/receiver to enjoy full surround sound effects from Dolby Digital and DTS DVD discs. • Easy Timer Recording Setting the recorder to record a program is simple from the Easy Timer Recording screen. Set the channel to record and the recording quality, then graphically set the start and end times of the recording. That’s it! • Program up to 32 timer recordings You can program the recorder to record up to 32 programs, up to a month in advance, using the VCR Plus ® system *1 for easy programming if you want. As well as single programs, you can specify daily or weekly recordings, too. *1 VCR Plus and PlusCode are registered trademarks of Gemstar Development Corporation. The VCR Plus system is manufactured under licence from Gemstar Development Corporation. • One-touch recording Use one-touch recording to start recording immediately in 30 minute blocks. Each time you press the  REC button, the recording time is extended by another 30 minutes. • Optimized recording Optimized recording adjusts the recording quality automatically if a timer recording will not fit onto a disc with the settings that you made. • Auto Start Recording from satellite receiver or other set top box With a satellite receiver or other set top box connected to the INPUT 1/AUTO START REC inputs of this recorder, you can start and stop recording automatically according to the timer settings of the set top box. • High quality 16-bit Linear PCM audio When recording using one of the high quality record settings ( FINE or MN32 ), the audio is recorded in uncompressed 16-bit Linear PCM format. This delivers great sounding audio to accompany the high picture quality. See Setting the picture quality/recording time on page 43 for more on recording modes. • Picture quality adjustment features During playback, you can adjust various picture quality settings to improve the picture. You can also adjust the recording picture quality. For example, if you want to make a DVD copy of an old video tape, you can optimize the picture quality before transferring it to disc. • Find what you want to watch quickly and easily Unlike video tape that needs to be wound to the correct place, you can jump right to the part of a DVD disc that you want to watch. Search for a point on a disc by title, chapter or time. VR mode VR mode DVR-04_KU.book 8 ページ ２００４年１月２８日　水曜日　午前１０時１５分
Before you start 01 9 En • Manual recording In addition to the four preset recording quality modes ( FINE , SP , LP and EP ), the manual recording mode allows you to access 32 different recording quality/time settings, giving you very fine control over the recording. • Record to and from a DV camcorder (DVR-320 only) This recorder has a built-in DV (Digital Video) input/ output jack for connection to a DV camcorder. This makes it ideal for transferring camcorder footage to DVD for editing. You can also transfer DVD content back to the camcorder if you need to. • Safe, non-destructive editing When you edit a DVD-RW, the actual content of the disc (the Original content) is not touched. The edited version (the Play List content) just points to various parts of the Original content. • Chapter marking You can easily add chapter markers anywhere in your recordings for easy editing. • Play Video mode recordings on a regular DVD player Discs recorded using the Video mode can be played back on regular DVD players, including computer DVD drives compatible with DVD-Video playback *2 . *2 ‘DVD-Video format’ recording: The use of the DVD- Video format for recording on DVD-R and DVD-RW discs is referred to as recording in ‘Video mode’ on Pioneer’s DVD recorders. Supporting playback of DVD-R / DVD- RW discs is optional for manufacturers of DVD playback equipment, and there is DVD playback equipment that does not play DVD-R or DVD-RW discs recorded in the DVD-Video format. Note: ‘Finalization’ is required. • WMA, MP3 and JPEG file playback This recorder can play WMA and MP3 audio files and JPEG picture files on CD-R, CD-RW or CD-ROM discs (see Disc / content format playback compatibility on page 11).

Check the DVD-R/RW or CD-R/RW software disc boxes for additional compatibility information. Frequently asked questions • What’s the difference between DVD-R and DVD-RW? The most important difference between DVD-R and DVD-RW is that DVD-R is a record-once medium, while DVD-RW is a re-recordable/erasable medium. You can re-record/erase a DVD-RW disc approximately 1,000 times. For more information, see About DVD recording on page 42. • What’s VR mode? VR (Video Recording) mode is a special mode designed for home DVD recording. It allows very flexible editing of recorded material compared to ‘Video mode’. On the other hand, Video mode discs are more compatible with other DVD players. • Can I play my recordable discs in a regular DVD player? Generally, DVD-R discs and DVD-RW discs recorded in Video mode *2 are playable in a regular DVD player, but they must be ‘finalized’ first. This process fixes the contents of the disc to make them readable to other DVD players as DVD-Video discs. DVD-RW discs recorded in VR mode are playable in some players. This indicates a product feature that is capable of playing DVD-RW discs recorded using VR mode. Note that Pioneer cannot guarantee that discs recorded using this recorder will play on other players. *2 ‘DVD-Video format’ recording: The use of the DVD- Video format for recording on DVD-R and DVD-RW discs is referred to as recording in ‘Video mode’ on Pioneer’s DVD recorders. Supporting playback of DVD-R / DVD- RW discs is optional for manufacturers of DVD playback equipment, and there is DVD playback equipment that does not play DVD-R or DVD-RW discs recorded in the DVD-Video format. Note: ‘Finalization’ is required. This recorder supports the recording of ‘copy-once’ broadcast programs using the CPRM copy protection system (see CPRM on page 43) on CPRM-compliant DVD-RW discs in VR mode. CPRM recordings can only be played on players that are specifically compatible with CPRM. • Do I need two DVD recorders for editing? What kind of editing can I do? Unlike editing video tape, you only need one DVD recorder to edit discs. With DVD, you edit by making a ‘Play List’ of what to play and when to play it. On playback, the recorder plays the disc according to the Play List. Throughout this manual, you will often see the words Original and Play List to refer to the actual content and the edited version. • Original content refers to what’s actually recorded on the disc. • Play List content refers to the edited version of the disc—how the Original content is to be played.

Recording 06 42 En Chapter 6 Recording 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. 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. Recording time and picture quality There are four preset recording quality modes: • FINE – Highest quality setting, gives about 1 hour of recording time. • SP (Standard Play) – Default quality, sufficient for most applications, gives about 2 hours of recording time. • LP (Long Play) – Slightly lower video quality, but doubles the recording time to around 4 hours. • EP (Extended Play) – Use when maximum recording time is most important; EP gives you around 6 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 very fine 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 has a SAP channel and you are recording in Video mode, or in VR mode on the FINE / MN32 setting, use the AUDIO button to select the Mono , Stereo or SAP 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. DVR-04_KU.book 42 ページ ２００４年１月２８日　水曜日　午前１０時１５分
Recording 06 43 En Restrictions on video recording • You cannot record copy-protected video using this recorder. Copy-protected video includes DVD-Video discs and some satellite broadcasts. If copy- protected material is encountered during a recording, recording will pause automatically and an error message will be displayed on-screen. • Video that is ‘copy-once only’ can only be recorded on a DVD-RW disc in VR mode (see below). • When recording a TV broadcast or through an external input, you can display copy control information on screen. (see Displaying disc information on-screen on page 31). CPRM CPRM is a copy protection system with scramble system regarding the recording of ‘copy once’ broadcast programs. CPRM stands for Content Protection for Recordable Media . This recorder is CPRM compatible, which means that you can record copy-once broadcast programs, but you cannot then make a copy of those recordings. CPRM recordings can only be made on CPRM-compatible DVD- RW (ver. 1.1 or higher) discs formatted in VR mode. DVD CPRM recordings can only be played on players that are specifically compatible with CPRM.

Check that the disc loaded is recordable, not locked (see Lock Disc on page 70), and that there are fewer than 99 titles already on the DVD. • The recorder won’t let me enter a timer program! Why not? You can’t enter a timer program if the clock isn’t set. • What happens when two or more timer programs overlap? Basically, the program with the earlier recording start time has priority. However, the recorder will start recording the program with the later start time after the earlier program is finished. If two programs have the same times (but different channels, for example), the program set most recently takes priority. •I entered a timer program, but the recorder doesn’t confirm whether or not it’s OK. Why not? Timer confirmation only works for DVD recordings when there is a recordable disc loaded. Also make sure that the disc is not locked (see Lock Disc on page 70) and that there are fewer than 99 titles already recorded. Note that it’s possible that although the timer recording screen says OK , the recording doesn’t complete successfully because of some other reason, such as a damaged disc, etc. Simultaneous recording and playback A feature called Chase Play makes it possible to watch a recording in progress from the start of the recording (as in, playback is ‘chasing’ the recording). For example, perhaps you have to miss the first 30 minutes of a movie on TV; you can start recording, then start watching the movie, from the beginning, while the recorder is still recording 30 minutes ahead of you. In fact, you’re not just limited to watching the recording in progress; you can watch anything else already on the DVD by selecting it from the Disc Navigator screen (see Using the Disc Navigator with recordable discs on page 34). Important • Note that you must use a DVD-RW Ver. 1.1/2x or Ver. 1.2 disc to be able to use this feature. • You may not be able to use this feature with DVD-RW discs initialized on another recorder. • During recording, press  PLAY to start playback from the beginning of the current recording, or press DISC NAVIGATOR and select another title to play from there. You can use all the usual playback controls, such as pause, slow-motion play, scan and skip. • To stop playback, press  STOP (recording will continue). • To stop recording, press  STOP REC (playback will continue). Note • You can’t start playback immediately after recording starts. • When scanning, no sound is output if the recorder is also recording (see Scanning discs on page 35). • You can’t use this feature during Auto Start Recording, or in Auto Start Recording standby.

See Restrictions on video recording on page 43 for more details. Automatic recording from a satellite tuner If you have a satellite tuner or some other kind of set top box connected to the L1 input, you can have the recorder start and stop recording automatically with the timer settings of the connected component. (If the other component doesn’t have a built-in timer, you’ll need to use it with an external timer unit.) After setting up for Auto Start Recording, this recorder starts recording when it detects a signal from the other component. When the signal ceases, the recorder stops recording. If you want to use this recorder with the timer features of your satellite tuner, see Information for cable/satellite/STB (set-top box) users on page 92. Important • It takes a little while for this recorder to switch on and start recording after detecting a signal. Please bear this in mind when setting the timer. 1 Set the timer for the satellite receiver (or other component), then switch it into standby (if necessary). Check the manual that came with the receiver if you’re not sure how to do this. 2 Load a recordable disc into this recorder. 3 Check that the ‘Audio In’ settings for ‘External Audio’ and ‘Dual Mono Recording’ are as you want them.

Recording 06 54 En Playing your recordings on other DVD players Most regular DVD players can play finalized discs recorded in Video mode. A number of players (including many Pioneer models) can also play DVD-RW discs recorded in VR mode, finalized or not. Check the manual that came with the player to check what kinds of discs it will play. When you finalize a Video mode disc, a title menu is created from which you can select titles when you play the disc. There are a number of different styles of title menu to choose from to suit the content of the disc. All the title menus are navigated in the usual way, pressing MENU or TOP MENU to display the menu, then using the /// (cursor buttons) followed by ENTER to select titles and start playback. Finalizing a disc Finalizing ‘fixes’ the recordings in place so that the disc can be played on a regular DVD player or computer equipped with a suitable DVD-ROM drive. Note that the disc name will appear in the title menu after you finalize a disc. Make sure the disc name is as you want it before you finalize the disc as it can’t be changed afterwards. If you want to rename the disc, see Input Disc Name on page 70 before starting the steps below. Important • Once you’ve finalized a disc recorded in Video mode, you can’t edit or record anything else on that disc. However, the finalization on a DVD-RW disc maybe ‘undone’; see Undo Finalize on page 71 for how to do this. •A VR mode disc can still be recorded and edited on this recorder even after finalizing. 1 Load the disc you want to finalize. Make sure that the recorder is stopped before proceeding. 2 Press HOME MENU and select ‘Disc Setup’. 3 Select ‘Finalize’. 4 Select ‘Finalize’ from the finalize options, then ‘Next Screen’. 5 For Video mode discs only, select a title menu style, then select ‘Yes’ to start finalization or ‘No’ to cancel. The menu you select will be the one that appears when the ‘top menu’ is selected on any DVD player. • Discs recorded partially or fully on the Pioneer DVR-7000 DVD recorder do not support this feature. These discs will have only a text title menu when finalized on this recorder. 6 The recorder will now start finalizing the disc. During finalization: • If the finalization process is going to take more than around 4 minutes, you can press ENTER to cancel. Around 4 minutes before completion, the option to cancel disappears. • How long finalization takes depends on the type of disc, how much is recorded on the disc and the number of titles on the disc. A disc recorded in VR mode can take up to 1 hour to finalize. A disc recorded in Video mode can take up to 20 minutes.

Editing 07 56 En Chapter 7 Editing Using the Disc Navigator you can edit video content on unfinalized Video mode and VR mode DVD discs. The editing features available in the Disc Navigator depend on whether you are editing video on a Video mode or VR mode DVD, and whether you’re editing Original content, or a Play List. With unfinalized Video mode DVDs, there are a limited number of editing commands, including naming, locking and erasing titles. Once a Video mode disc has been finalized, further editing is not possible. You can still use the Disc Navigator to select titles for playback, however (see Using the Disc Navigator to browse the contents of a disc. on page 33). There are two ways to edit VR mode DVD-RW discs. You can directly edit the Original content of the disc, or you can create and edit a Play List. The Play List doesn’t actually change any of the content on the disc, but just controls how the content is played back (rather like the program play feature found on CD players).

This has priority over the setting you make here. Dual Mono Recording • Default setting: L When recording a dual mono source from an external input in Video mode or VR mode set to FINE / MN 32 , you can choose to record either the L (left), or the R (right) audio channel. Note • If you’re recording in VR mode (except when set to FINE / MN 32 ), both channels will be recorded and you can switch them as you like on playback. DV Input (DVR-320 only) • Default setting: Stereo1 You need to set this if you have a camcorder using 32kHz/ 12-bit sound connected to the front panel DV IN/OUT jack. Some digital camcorders have two stereo tracks for audio. One is recorded at the time of shooting; the other is for overdubbing after shooting. On the Stereo1 setting, the sound that was recorded while shooting is used. On the Stereo2 setting, the overdubbed sound is used. You can also choose a Mix setting of 25%, 50% or 75% for the Stereo 1 with a corresponding Stereo 2 setting of 75%, 50% or 25%.

If you have a conventional TV, choose either 4:3 (Letter Box) or 4:3 (Pan & Scan) . In Letter Box mode, widescreen software is shown with black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. Pan & Scan chops the sides off widescreen material to make it fit the 4:3 screen (so even though the picture looks larger on the screen, you’re actually seeing less of the movie). See Screen sizes and disc formats on page 87 for more information. Still Picture • Default setting: Auto The recorder uses one of two processes when displaying a still frame from a DVD disc. The default Auto setting automatically chooses the best setting each time. • Field – produces a stable, generally shake-free image. • Frame – produces a sharper image, but more prone to shake than field stills. Seamless Playback • Default setting: Off During playback of a VR mode Play List, you may notice momentary interruption in the picture at edited points.

Additional information 13 90 En Frequently asked questions In this section you can find answers to frequently asked questions on how to use your DVD recorder and what it can do. • What kind of discs can I use for recording? You can use DVD-R and DVD-RW discs for recording. DVD-RAM, CD-R and CD-RW discs are not recordable using this recorder. See Disc / content format playback compatibility on page 11 for more details. • Can I watch recordings made using this recorder on other DVD players? Yes. Use a DVD-R disc for you recordings (these are always recorded in Video mode). After recording, finalize the disc to make it playable on other DVD players (note that you cannot make further recordings on the disc after finalizing it). If you want to use a DVD-RW disc, make sure that it’s initialized for recording in Video mode. As with a DVD-R, finalize the disc after recording to make it playable in other players. See also Playing your recordings on other DVD players on page 54. • Can I edit recordings, or erase parts of recordings from a disc? Yes. Recording to a VR mode DVD-RW disc gives you the most flexibility when editing. By default, when you load a new DVD-RW disc into the recorder it is initialized for recording in VR mode. See also Editing on page 56. • Can I play a VR mode DVD-RW disc in another DVD player? Look for the ‘RW Compatible’ mark on the other DVD player to see if it will play VR mode DVD-RW discs. If the player does not recognize the disc when you load it, try finalizing it in the recorder, then try again. See also Playing your recordings on other DVD players on page 54. • Can I record a copy-once protected program from a subscription satellite or cable channel? Yes, but you’ll need to use a CPRM-compatible DVD- RW disc initialized for VR mode recording. (Look on the disc package to see if it is CPRM compatible.) See also CPRM on page 43. • Can I play a disc while recording? Yes. For simultaneous recording and playback, use a 2x speed compatible DVD-RW initialized for VR mode recording (the disc should be a DVD-RW Ver. 1.1/2x or Ver. 1.2 CPRM-compatible). See also Simultaneous recording and playback on page 50. •I changed the batteries in the remote control and now it doesn’t work! Most likely the remote control ID does not match the recorder. After changing the batteries, the remote ID is reset to 1; if the recorder is set to something else, the remote will not work with it. See Remote Control Set on page 76 for how to set the ID of the recorder and the remote. After briefly unplugging or after a power failure the fr ont panel dis- play shows ‘--:--’ • A backup batter y inside the recorder keeps the clock and other settings from being reset when there is no power to the recorder . This batter y should last approximately 5 years from factor y shipping. Reset the clock and other recorder settings to use the recorder again . T o have the batter y replaced, contact your dealer or a P ioneer Ser vice Center . Problem Remedy DVR-04_KU.book 90 ページ ２００４年１月２８日　水曜日　午前１０時１５分

Additional information 13 95 En 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 Pioneer- authorized service center. Although lens cleaners for CD players are commercially available, we do not recommend using them since some may damage the lens. Condensation Condensation may form inside the recorder if it is brought into a warm room from outside, or if the temperature of the room rises quickly. Although the condensation won’t damage the recorder, it may temporarily impair its performance. For this reason you should leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature for about an hour before switching on and using. DVR-04_KU.book 95 ページ ２００４年１月２８日　水曜日　午前１０時１５分

JPEG files are identified by the file extension “.jpg” or “.JPG”. Most digital cameras use this format. MP3 MP3 (MPEG1 audio layer 3) is a compressed audio file format. Files are recognized by their file extension “.mp3” or “.MP3”. MPEG audio An audio format used on Video CDs and some DVD discs. This unit can convert MPEG audio to PCM format for wider compatibility with digital recorders and AV amplifiers. See also PCM . DVR-04_KU.book 97 ページ ２００４年１月２８日　水曜日　午前１０時１５分
Additional information 13 98 En MPEG video The video format used for Video CDs and DVDs. Video CD uses the older MPEG-1 standard, while DVD uses the newer and much better quality MPEG-2 standard. Optical digital output A jack that outputs digital audio in the form of light pulses. Connect components with optical digital jacks using a special optical cord, available from specialist audio dealers. PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) The most common system of encoding digital audio, found on CDs and DAT. Excellent quality, but requires a lot of data compared to formats such as Dolby Digital and MPEG audio. For compatibility with digital audio recorders (CD, MD and DAT) and AV amplifiers with digital inputs, this unit can convert Dolby Digital and MPEG audio to PCM. See also Digital audio . PBC (PlayBack Control) (Video CD only) A system of navigating a Video CD through on-screen menus recorded onto the disc. Especially good for discs that you would normally not watch from beginning to end all at once—karaoke discs, for example. Progressive scan video Also called non-interlaced video, this method of displaying a picture updates all the lines in one pass, resulting in a more stable, flicker-free image than interlaced video (for a given scanning rate). PureCinema Video on a DVD disc may be either video material (originally shot on video) or film material (originally shot on film). Video material has a frame rate of 30 frames/ second, compared to 24 frames/second for film. This recorder converts film material to 60 frames/second (in progressive scan mode). PureCinema adjusts the picture so that it matches more closely the picture quality of a cinema screen You can see whether video on a DVD disc is film or video material by displaying the transfer rate. If a ‘#’ appears above the transfer rate display, it is film material. Regions (DVD only) (example region code marks) Regions associate discs and players with particular areas of the world. This unit will only play discs that have compatible region codes. You can find the region code of your unit by looking on the rear panel. Some discs are compatible with more than one region (or all regions). Sampling frequency The rate at which sound is measured to be turned into digital audio data. The higher the rate, the better the sound quality, but the more digital information is generated. Standard CD audio has a sampling frequency of 44.1kHz, which means 44,100 samples (measurements) per second. See also Digital audio . Title A collection of chapters on a DVD disc. See also Chapter . Track Audio CDs and Video CDs use tracks to divide up the content of a disc. The DVD equivalent is called a chapter. See also Chapter . WMA WMA is short for Windows Media Audio and refers to an audio compression technology developed by Microsoft Corporation. WMA data can be encoded by using Windows Media Player version 9 or Windows Media Player for Windows XP. Files are recognized by their file extension “.wma” or “.WMA”. Microsoft, Windows Media, and the Windows logo are trademarks, or registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries. 1 ALL DVR-04_KU.book 98 ページ ２００４年１月２８日　水曜日　午前１０時１５分
