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 • Built-in TV Guide On Screen™ interactive program guide The TV Guide On Screen™ system is a free, interactive on- screen TV programming guide. You can see what’s on TV today and in the coming week, search TV listings by program categories or by using your own keywords, and even set the recorder to record programs with the press of a button. Please note: The TV Guide On Screen™ interactive program guide incorporated in this product supports and provides listings for cable-ready televisions, cable set-top-box supplied from most cable operators, and digital cable services as well as over-the-air broadcasts. TV Guide On Screen™ does not support or provide listings for any satellite services. Satellite subscribers should use the manual recording features built into this unit to record shows. • HDD recording Record video on the DVR-633H-S’s internal 160 GB (gigabyte) hard disk (HDD), or the DVR-533H-S/DVR- 532H-S/DVR-531H-S’s 80 GB HDD. With both recordable DVD and a high-capacity HDD in the same recorder, you have the flexibility to keep recordings on the HDD or record to DVD. • Copy between HDD and DVD You can copy recordings between the HDD and DVD. When copying to DVD you can usually use the high- speed copy feature. You can also choose to copy material at a different recording quality from the original. For example, you might want to copy an XP mode (highest quality) recording on the HDD to SP (standard play) quality on a DVD so that you can fit other recordings on the same disc. • One Touch Copy One Touch Copy makes copying the currently playing title from HDD to DVD, or DVD to HDD as simple as pressing a button. • High quality, real-time copying When recording to the HDD, picture quality data is also stored so that picture quality can be optimized when making real-time copies to DVD later. (This is applicable only to MN16–32 HDD recordings (Video Mode Off), or MN12–32 / XP recordings (Video Mode On). • Chase play Using chase play you can start watching a recording from the beginning, while continuing to record. 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 HDD and DVD playback and recording are completely independent. For example, you can record a broadcast program to a recordable DVD, while watching another recording you already made on the same DVD. • On-screen Help Use the HELP button on the remote control to display a help screen for the current operation. • Disc Navigator The on-screen Disc Navigator makes finding your way around the contents of a disc or the HDD easy. For recordable DVD and HDD content, moving thumbnail images are displayed for ease of use. The Disc Navigator is also where you can edit HDD and recordable DVD content. • 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. (Check your TV/monitor for compatibility with this feature.) • Cinema-style surround sound in your home Connect this recorder to a Dolby Digital and/or DTS- compatible AV amp/receiver to enjoy full surround sound effects from Dolby Digital and DTS DVD discs. • One Touch Recording Use One Touch Recording to start recording immediately in 30 minute blocks.

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 49. • What’s VR mode? VR (Video Recording) mode is a special mode designed for home DVD recording. It allows flexible editing of recorded material compared to ‘Video mode’. On the other hand, Video mode discs are more compatible with other DVD players. • How do I change the format of a disc? Both DVD-R and DVD-RW discs can be initialized for Video mode or VR mode recording. DVD-R discs are ready for Video mode recording when you first load them into the recorder. You can, however, initialize them for VR mode recording from the Disc Setup menu. DVD-RW discs can be initialized and re-initialized for either mode at any time (although initializing will erase all the data on the disc). • Can I play my recordable discs in a regular DVD player? Generally, DVD-R discs and DVD-RW discs recorded in Video mode* are playable in a standard 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-R discs recorded in VR mode are not playable in standard DVD players, but may be playable in other DVD recorders and DVD-ROM drives (in the case of DVD-ROM drives, the disc will need to be finalized first). DVD-RW discs recorded in VR mode are playable in some players and other recorders. Note that discs may not play due to recording or disc characteristics, scratches or dirt on the disc or pickup lens, etc. This label indicates playback compatibility with DVD-RW discs recorded in VR mode (Video Recording format). However, for discs recorded with a record-only-once encrypted program, playback can only be achieved using a CPRM compatible device. Note that Pioneer cannot guarantee that discs recorded using this recorder will play on other players. DVR-530H_KU.book 12 ページ ２００５年６月８日　水曜日　午前１１時１６分
Before you start 01 13 En * ‘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 50) on CPRM-compliant 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 VR mode discs, you can 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. About the internal hard disk drive The internal hard disk drive (HDD) is a fragile piece of equipment. Depending on the conditions under which it is used, or through careless use, it is possible that the recorded contents will be damaged or lost completely, or that normal playback and recording will not be possible. Please understand that in the event of repair or replacement of the HDD or related components, all your HDD recordings will be lost. Please use the recorder following the guidelines below to protect against possible HDD failure. The HDD should not be regarded as a place to store recordings permanently. We recommend that you back up your important recordings onto DVD-R/RW discs in order to protect against accidental loss. Pioneer cannot under any circumstances accept resposibility for any direct or indirect loss arising from any inconvenience or loss of recorded material resulting from HDD failure. • Do not move the recorder while it is on (this includes during EPG download when the display shows EPG ). • Install and use the recorder on a stable, level surface. • Do not block the rear vent/cooling fan. • Do not use the recorder in excessively hot or humid places, or in places that may be subject to sudden changes in temperature. Sudden changes in temperature can cause condensation to form inside the recorder. This can be a cause of HDD failure. • While the recorder is switched on (including during EPG download when the display shows EPG ), do not unplug from the wall socket or switch the electricity off from the breaker switch. • Do not move the recorder immediately after switching it off. If you need to move the recorder, please follow the steps below: 1 After the message POWER OFF is shown in the display, wait at least two minutes. 2 Unplug from the wall socket. 3 Move the recorder. • If there’s a power failure while the recorder is on there is a chance that some data on the HDD will be lost. • The HDD is very delicate. If used improperly or in an unsuitable environment, it is possible that the HDD will fail after a few years of use. Signs of problems include playback unexpectedly freezing and noticeable block noise (mosaic) in the picture. However, sometimes there will be no warning signs of HDD failure. If the HDD fails, no playback of recorded material will be possible. In this case it will be necessary to replace the HDD unit. Optimizing HDD performance As you record and edit material on the HDD, the data on the disk becomes fragmented, eventually affecting the recorder’s performance. Before this happens, the recorder will warn you that it is time to optimize the HDD (which you can do from the Disc Setup menu; see Optimize HDD on page 88).

Recording 06 49 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. 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 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 1 ). 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 10 for detailed disc compatibility information. 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. 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. 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 95). When set to Video Mode On, high-speed copying from HDD to Video mode DVD is possible. When recording a broadcast with a Secondary Audio Program (SAP) channel, set which channel you want to record from the Initial Setup menu (see Dual Mono Recording on page 93). When HDD Recording Format is set to Video Mode Off, high-speed copying isn’t possible. However, when SAP is selected as the broadcast audio channel, both the main and SAP channels are recorded and you can switch the audio on playback. 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.

Recording 06 50 En Recording time and picture quality There are six preset recording quality modes 1 : • XP – High quality setting, gives about one hour of recording time on a DVD disc. • SP (Standard Play) – Default quality, used for most applications, gives about two hours of recording time on a DVD. • LP (Long Play) – Lower video quality than SP, but doubles the recording time on a DVD to about four hours. • EP (Extended Play) – Lower quality than LP, but gives about six hours of recording time on a DVD disc. • SLP (Super Long Play) – Lower quality than EP, but gives about eight hours of recording time on a DVD disc. • SEP (Super Extended Play) – Lowest video quality but gives about ten hours of recording time on a DVD disc. Please note that there is a trade-off between recording time and quality. The longer the possible recording time, the lower the recorded picture quality. You may wish to try recording different kinds of programs in different recording modes to determine the combination of picture quality and recording time that suits your needs. We recommend using the XP mode for recording fast- moving or action programs. In addition to these settings, when Manual Recording is On (see Manual Recording on page 95) you can access 32 different recording quality/time settings ( MN1 – MN32 ), a high-quality audio mode ( LPCM ), and a super-high quality (data transfer rate of around 15 Mbps) HDD recording mode ( XP ). Recorded audio In all except the LPCM mode, sound is recorded in two channel Dolby Digital format. When set to LPCM , 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 to the HDD with the HDD Recording Format set to Video Mode On, or on the LPCM setting, use the AUDIO button to select the Mono , Stereo or SAP audio channel to record before recording starts. In other cases, if SAP is selected then both the main and SAP audio channels will be recorded and you can switch on playback. The table below shows the different audio output possibilities: 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 the HDD or 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 32). CPRM CPRM is a copy protection/scrambling system developed for 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-R (ver. 2.0/8x or higher) or DVD-RW (ver. 1.1 or higher) discs formatted in VR mode or on the HDD. DVD CPRM recordings can only be played on players that are specifically compatible with CPRM.

Simultaneous recording and playback A feature called Chase Play makes it possible to watch a recording in progress (DVD or HDD) 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 or HDD by selecting it from the Disc Navigator screen (see Using the Disc Navigator with recordable discs and the HDD on page 58). 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 a DVD-RW disc that was first initialized on another recorder. • Chase playback is not possible using a VR mode DVD-R disc. • During recording, press  PLAY to start playback from the beginning of the current recording 1 , or press DISC NAVIGATOR and select another title to play from there.

Recording 06 55 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. Most players will not play VR mode DVD-R discs, although some DVD- ROM drives and DVD recorders may be able to (finalization might be necessary). 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 /// 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 87 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 88 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 of a DVD-RW disc is going to take more than around four minutes, you can press ENTER to cancel. Around four minutes before completion, the option to cancel disappears. • You can’t cancel the finalization of a VR mode DVD-R disc. • 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 one hour to finalize. A disc recorded in Video mode can take up to 20 minutes.

Copying and back-up 08 66 En Chapter 8 Copying and back-up Introduction Use the copying features of this recorder to: • Back up important recordings stored on the HDD to a DVD. • Make a DVD copy of a recording on the HDD to play in another player. • Transfer video from a DVD to the HDD for editing. • Transfer edited video from the HDD to DVD. The simplest way to copy a title is to use the One Touch Copy feature. This copies the currently playing HDD title to DVD, or DVD title to the HDD. See One Touch Copy on page 66 for detailed instructions. For more sophisticated copying tasks you can build a Copy List of titles to copy, and edit titles so that you only copy the bits you want. See Using Copy Lists on page 67 for detailed instructions. Where possible, the recorder will copy your recordings at high-speed. Depending on the recording mode, the kind of disc loaded and various other factors, copying can be as fast as one minute per hour of video. See Minimum copying times on page 100 for more on copying times. (Please note that additional time is required for initializing and finalizing a disc.) If you want to save disc space you can copy video at a lower recording quality (for example, an XP recording on the HDD copied to SP on a DVD). Copying in this way is always done in real-time. When real-time copying from the HDD to a Video mode DVD, the chapter markers in the original material are not copied. Chapter markers are put into the copy at intervals, according to the Auto Chapter (Video) setting (see also Auto Chapter (Video) on page 95). Restrictions on copying Some video material is copy-once protected. This means that it can be recorded to HDD, but it can’t then be freely copied again. If you want to transfer copy-once protected material from HDD to DVD, you’ll need to use a VR mode disc compatible with CPRM Ver. 1.1 or higher (see CPRM on page 50 for more on this). Only one instance of a copy- once protected title can be added to the Copy List, and after it’s been copied, the title is erased from the HDD (it is therefore not possible to copy a locked title that is copy- once protected). You can identify copy-once protected material during playback by displaying disc information on-screen. If the current title is copy-once protected, an exclamation mark ( ! ) is shown (see Play display 2 on page 34). Copyright You may use this product only to reproduce or copy materials for which you own the copyright or have obtained permission to copy from the copyright owner or for which you otherwise have a legal right to reproduce or copy. Unless you own the copyright or have obtained permission from the copyright owner or otherwise have a legal right to reproduce or copy, you may be violating the law, including copyright law, and may be subject to payment of damages and other remedies. One Touch Copy * See also Copyright above. The One Touch Copy feature copies the currently playing or selected (in the Disc Navigator) HDD title to DVD, or DVD title to HDD. The whole title is copied, regardless of where in the title you start the copy. HDD to DVD copies are made in the same recording mode. When copying DVD to HDD, the copy is made in whatever recording mode is currently set. Make sure that a recordable DVD-R/RW disc is loaded when trying to copy from the HDD. 1 If you’re copying from DVD to the HDD, use the REC MODE button to select a recording mode. Note that selecting a recording mode higher than the title playing will not result in a better quality recording. 2 During playback, press ONE TOUCH COPY to copy the current title. The front panel display indicates that the title is being copied. • High-speed copying is used when copying from the HDD to DVD. Playback continues while copying. • Real-time copying is used when copying from DVD to the HDD. Playback restarts from the beginning of the title.

Copying and back-up 08 67 En Canceling One Touch Copy You can cancel a One Touch Copy once it’s started. • Press and hold ONE TOUCH COPY for more than a second. Copying is canceled and the video already copied is erased. • If you cancel a HDD to DVD-R copy, the space available for recording does not return to the pre- copy figure. Notes on copying using One Touch Copy Copying to DVD • Title name, chapter markers, as well as thumbnail picture markers for the Disc Navigator, are also copied. However, if you copy to a Video mode DVD-R/ RW, only the first 40 characters of a name are copied. • The chapter markers in the copy may not be in exactly the same positions as the original when recording on to a Video mode disc. • You can’t use the One Touch Copy function to copy a title if any part of the title is copy-once protected. •A title that contains mixed aspect ratios can’t be copied to a Video mode disc. Use a VR mode disc for this type of material. • Low resolution ( SEP through LP modes 1 ) widescreen material can’t be copied to a Video mode disc. Use a VR mode disc for this type of material. • When HDD Recording Format is set to Video Mode Off, titles recorded in LP / MN9 – 15 modes cannot be high-speed copied to a Video mode DVD. Please use a VR mode disc. • Recordings of dual mono broadcasts cannot be high- speed copied to a Video mode DVD. Please use a VR mode disc. • XP titles cannot be copied to DVD at high-speed. Copying to the HDD • The maximum title length for copying is 12 hours. • Title name and chapter markers are also copied, except when copying from a finalized Video mode disc. • Thumbnail picture markers and chapter markers for the Disc Navigator are copied, but their position in the copy may be slightly changed from the original. • If some part of the title being copied is copy- protected, copying will start, but the copy-protected portions will not be copied. Using Copy Lists * See also Copyright on page 66. At its simplest, a Copy List is just a list of HDD or DVD titles that you want to copy. When copying HDD titles to DVD, you can, however, edit the titles in your copy list, erasing chapters you don’t need, or re-naming titles, for example. Edits you make to titles in the Copy List do not affect the actual video content; only the ‘virtual’ content of the Copy List. So you can freely erase and modify anything in your Copy List safe in the knowledge that the actual content is not being altered. Copying from HDD to DVD Important • The recorder can only store one Copy List at a time. • Resetting the recorder to its factory settings (see Resetting the recorder on page 98) will erase the Copy List. 1 Press HOME MENU and select ‘Copy’.

Editing 09 77 En Command menu panel options The table below shows which commands you can use with which video type. Editing accuracy Some editing (and Copy List) commands ask you whether you want to keep Video mode compatibility or frame accuracy ( Video mode compatible editing , or Frame accurate editing ). Frame accurate editing is very precise. The edit point is accurate to the exact frame you choose. However, this accuracy is not preserved in any copy you make if you use the high-speed copy function to make a Video mode DVD. Video mode compatible editing is less precise. The edit point you choose will only be accurate to within 0.5–1 second. On the other hand, these edit points will be preserved if you use high-speed copy to make a Video mode DVD. HDD genres The large capacity of the HDD means that there may be many hours of video in the recorder. To help you organize your HDD video content you can assign different genres to titles. There are five genres (set initially to FREE1 – 5 ) that can be named and renamed as you like.

Once the command is completed, Multi-Mode is automatically exited. Undo If you make a mistake while editing, you can generally undo it. There are three levels of undo (in other words, you can undo the last three edits you made). 1 Select ‘Undo’ from the command menu panel. • You can’t undo anything after exiting the Disc Navigator screen. Frequently asked questions • Why doesn’t the available recording time increase when I erase titles from a VR mode DVD-R? When you erase titles from a DVD-R, the titles are no longer displayed, but the content remains on the disc. DVD-R is a write-once medium; it can’t be erased or rewritten. •I can’t edit my disc! You may find that as the available recording time is reduced on a VR mode DVD-R disc, editing is no longer possible. This is because information about your edits requires a certain amount of disc space. As you edit, this information builds up, eventually preventing you from editing further.

Additional information 14 103 En If the unit does not operate normally due to external effects such as static electricity, disconnect the power plug from the outlet and insert again to return to normal operating conditions. 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. • How do I make a high-quality copy? We recommend that you use the high-speed copy mode. Although the copy is faster than real time, there is no loss of picture or sound quality compared to the original. If there is not enough space on the disc to make a copy at the same picture quality as the original, we recommend that you change the recording mode to ‘Optimized’. This will fit the recording on to the available space on the disc. See also Copying and back-up on page 66. • Can I make a DVD copy of, say, a movie that has had the commercials edited out? Yes. There are two ways to do this. You can either edit the video on the HDD then copy the edited version to DVD, or you can assemble a Copy List that cuts out the commercials, then record that to DVD. See also Copying and back-up on page 66. •I have a two-hour recording on the HDD made in XP mode. Can I copy this to DVD in high-speed mode? A standard DVD disc can hold only an hour of XP mode material, so you wouldn’t be able to make a high-speed copy of this on to one disc. You could divide up the recording on the HDD into two titles of an hour each and copy these to two DVDs (using high-speed copy). Alternatively, you could copy the material in SP (or Optimized) mode so as to fit it all on to one disc (note that there will be a loss in picture quality if you do this). See also Copying and back-up on page 66. • Can I record a broadcast containing a main and SAP channel to the HDD, keeping both audio channels and switch them on playback? Yes. When HDD Recording Format is set to Video Mode Off (see HDD Recording Format on page 95) and SAP is selected as the broadcast audio channel, both channels of the broadcast are recorded (unless you set the recording mode to LPCM, in which case only the channel set using the Dual Mono Recording setting will be recorded; see Using the built-in TV tuner on page 28). 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 five 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 . Front panel display shows ‘LOCK’ when a button is pressed • The Child Lock is on; turn off in order to use the recorder (page 38). Can’t use One T ouch Copy (HDD to DVD) • Make sure that there is a recordable DVD loaded with some free space for recording and fewer than 99 titles already on the disc. Also make sure that for a Video mode disc, the disc isn ’t finalized. • If the title currently playing contains material that is copy-once protected, One T ouch Copy will not work. • If the currently playing HDD content was recorded in XP mode, the One T ouch Copy feature can’t be used. • One T ouch Copy doesn’t work if the recorder is already recording to DVD.

Additional information 14 104 En • Can I copy a finalized Video mode disc (DVD-R or DVD- RW) to the HDD? Yes. Start playing the Video mode disc and use the One Touch Copy button to copy the currently playing title to the HDD. Repeat for as many titles on the disc as you want to copy. See also Copying from DVD to HDD on page 70. • Can I use high-speed copy to copy from DVD to HDD? You can only use high-speed copy from DVD to HDD when copying Original titles from a VR mode DVD-R or DVD-RW disc. See also Copying from DVD to HDD on page 70. • Can I copy a copy-once protected program from a subscription satellite or cable channel to a DVD from the HDD? Yes, you can use high-speed copy to copy to a VR mode disc. You can also divide the recording on the HDD into a number of smaller titles if the whole recording won’t fit on to one disc. See also Copying from HDD to DVD on page 67. • Can I play a DVD I recorded on this recorder on another DVD player? Yes, you can generally play finalized Video mode discs recorded on this recorder on any standard DVD player. You may find, however, that some players will not play some recordable media. For VR mode DVD-RW discs, look for the ‘RW Compatible’ mark to see if it will play the disc.

Additional information 14 109 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 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. • HDD optimization is recommended. This can be done using Disc Setup. The HDD should be optimized (basically , HDD housekeeping) to maintain playback and recording per formance. • Please perform HDD optimization. This can be done using Disc Setup. The HDD is in more urgent need of optimization in order to maintain per formance. • The HDD has not been sufficiently optimized. Please optimize again. If this message appears repeatedly after optimizing the HDD it is likely that there is not enough free space on the HDD for optimization to complete properly . Please erase some titles from the HDD and optimize again. Message Explanation/Action DVR-530H_KU.book 109 ページ ２００５年６月８日　水曜日　午前１１時１６分
Additional information 14 110 En Hints on installation We want you to enjoy using this unit for years to come, so please bear in mind the following points when choosing 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 component in your stereo system that becomes hot in use.  Use near a television or monitor as you may experience 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. Moving the recorder If you need to move the recorder, first remove the disc, if there’s one loaded, and close the disc tray. Next, press  STANDBY/ON to switch the power to standby, checking that the POWER OFF indication in the display goes off. Wait at least two minutes. Lastly, disconnect the power cord. Never lift or move the unit during playback or recording—discs rotate at a high speed and may be damaged. Glossary Analog audio An electrical signal that directly represents sound. Compare this to digital audio which can be an electrical signal, but is an indirect representation of sound. See also Digital audio . Aspect ratio The width of a TV screen relative to its height. Conventional TVs are 4:3 (in other words, the screen is almost square); widescreen models are 16:9 (the screen is almost twice as wide as it is high). Chapter Just as a book is split up into several chapters, a title on the HDD/a DVD disc is usually divided into chapters. See also Title . Digital audio An indirect representation of sound by numbers. During recording, the sound is measured at discrete intervals (44,100 times a second for CD audio) by an analog-to- digital converter, generating a stream of numbers. On playback, a digital-to-analog converter generates an analog signal based on these numbers. See also Sampling frequency and Analog audio . Dolby Digital Dolby ® Digital Stereo Creator enables consumers to create stereo DVD-Videos with stunning Dolby Digital sound tracks at home. The technology, when utilized instead of PCM recording, also saves recordable disc space, allowing for higher video resolution or extended recording time on each DVD. DVDs mastered using Dolby Digital Stereo Creator will play back on all DVD- Video players. Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories.

Additional information 14 111 En DRM (Digital Rights Management) DRM (Digital Rights Management) copy protection is a technology designed to prevent unauthorized copying by restricting playback, etc. of material on devices other the PC (or other WMA recording equipment) used to record it. For detailed information, please see the instruction manuals or help files that came with your PC (or other WMA recording equipment) and/or software. DTS DTS stands for Digital Theater System. DTS is a surround system different from Dolby Digital that has become a popular surround sound format for movies. “DTS” and “DTS Digital Out” are registered trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc. Dynamic range The difference between the quietest and loudest sounds possible in an audio signal (without distorting or getting lost in noise). Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks are capable of a wide dynamic range, delivering dramatic cinema-like effects. EXIF (Exchangeable Image File) A file format developed by Fuji Photo Film for digital still cameras. Digital cameras from various manufacturers use this compressed file format which carries date, time and thumbnail information, as well as the picture data. File extension A tag added to the end of a filename to indicate the type of file. For example, “.mp3” indicates an MP3 file. ISO 9660 format International standard for the volume and file structure of CD-ROM discs. JPEG A file format used for still images, such as photographs and illustrations. 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 amp/receivers. See also PCM . 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 amp/receivers 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.

Additional information 14 112 En Regions (DVD-Video 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 the HDD/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 10, or Windows Media Player for Windows XP. Files are recognized by their file extension “.wma” or “.WMA”.
