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.

DivX, DivX Certified, and associated logos are trademarks of DivX, Inc. and are used under license. DivX ® VOD content In order to play DivX VOD (video on demand) content on this recorder, you first need to register the recorder with your DivX VOD content provider. You do this by generating a DivX VOD registration code, which you submit to your provider. Some DivX VOD content may only be playable a fixed number of times. When you load a disc containing this type of DivX VOD content, the remaining number of plays is shown on-screen and you then have the option of playing the disc (thereby using up one of the remaining plays), or stopping. If you load a disc that contains expired DivX VOD content (for example, content that has zero remaining plays), the message Rental Expired is displayed. If your DivX VOD content allows an unlimited number of plays, then you may load the disc into your recorder and play the content as often as you like, and no message will be displayed. Important • DivX VOD content is protected by a DRM (Digital Rights Management) system. This restricts playback of content to specific, registered devices. • If you load a disc that contains DivX VOD content not authorized for this recorder, the message Authorization Error is displayed and the content will not play. • Resetting the recorder (as described in Resetting the recorder on page 132) will not cause you to lose your registration code.

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 discs in order to protect against accidental loss. Pioneer cannot under any circumstances accept responsibility for any direct or indirect loss arising from any inconvenience or loss of recorded material resulting from HDD failure. • 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. • 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. DVR640H_KU_EN.book 14 ページ ２００６年３月７日　火曜日　午後３時１８分
Before you start 01 15 En • 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 105).

Recording 05 33 En Chapter 5 Recording About DVD recording This recorder can record to DVD-R, DVD- RW, DVD R, DVD RW, DVD-RAM, DVD-R DL and DVD R DL media. DVD-R and DVD-RW discs 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. DVD RW discs can be initialized for VR mode recording. DVD-RAM discs can be initialized for VR mode recording. DVD R discs do not require initializing. Important • The table below shows the maximum number of titles recordable per disc and the maximum number of chapters per title: *1 A maximum of 999 chapters are recordable per disc. *2 A maximum of 254 chapters are recordable per disc. • This recorder cannot play or record unfinalized Video mode and DVD R discs recorded on another recorder. DVD RW discs recorded on another recorder are playable on this recorder but are not recordable. • The maximum continuous recording time for one title is eight hours when using a DVD R/ RW disc. • If you delete a title from a DVD R/ RW disc, the total number of recordable titles remaining may not increase. • Fingerprints, dirt and small scratches on a disc can affect playback and/or recording performance. Please take proper care of your discs. 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 05 34 En • Pioneer takes no responsibility for recording failure due to power cuts, defective discs, or damage to the recorder. • See also Disc / content format playback compatibility on page 9 for detailed disc compatibility information. Recording to DVD-R DL/DVD R DL discs Recording to DVD-R DL/DVD R DL discs is generally the same as recording to regular single-layer discs; however, please note the following points: • When the recorder switches from the first layer to the second during recording a DVD-R DL (Video mode) disc, a new title is automatically started on the new layer. • Up to 99 titles can be recorded on a DVD- R DL (Video mode) disc. If the 99th title is being recorded when the layer is switched, recording will stop. • Up to 49 titles can be recorded on a DVD R DL disc. • You cannot play, record additional material to, edit or finalize a DVD-R DL or DVD R DL disc that has been recorded on but not yet finalized on another DVD recorder. 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. 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 115). When set to Video Mode On, high-speed copying from HDD to Video mode DVD-R/- RW or DVD R/ RW 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 111). When HDD Recording Format is set to Video Mode Off, high-speed copying isn’t possible. However, both the main and SAP channels are recorded and you can switch the audio on playback. Recorded audio In all except the LPCM mode, sound is recorded in two channel Dolby Digital format (only Dolby Digital 2.0 can be recorded; Dolby Digital 5.1 recording is not possible) .

Recording 05 35 En 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 to Video mode DVD-R/ -RW, DVD R/ RW, 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 to HDD, CPRM-compatible VR mode DVD-R/-RW (see below), or DVD-RAM. 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 64). 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 / 8 x or higher) or DVD-RW (ver. 1.1 or higher) discs formatted in VR mode, DVD-RAM discs or on the HDD. DVD CPRM recordings can only be played on players that are specifically compatible with CPRM.

There are six standard settings available, which allow you to choose a balance between picture quality and recording time. When Manual Recording is set to On (see Manual Recording on page 114), a further option will be available ( MN1 to MN32 or LPCM , depending on what you set). When recording to DVD R/ RW, SLP is the longest recording time available. If you select SEP or MN1 to MN3 , the recording mode will automatically revert to SLP . • Press repeatedly to select the recording quality. • 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. • MN1 to MN32 / LPCM 1 – Manual / Linear PCM (available only when manual recording is on) The setting is indicated in the front panel display, and shown on-screen together with the recording time for a blank recordable disc. If a recordable disc is loaded, the approximate remaining recording time for that disc is also shown. (Note that if the On Screen Display setting (see On Screen Display on page 117) is Off then this information is not displayed.) Basic recording from the TV Basic recording from the TV involves just setting the channel to record, choosing whether to record to the HDD or a DVD and selecting the recording quality. 1 Select the HDD or DVD for recording. • If you’re recording to DVD, load a recordable disc (if you load a new blank DVD-RW or DVD RW disc, the recorder takes a short while to initialize the disc). • If you want to record a VR mode DVD-R or a Video mode DVD-RW, you must initialize it before proceeding (see Initializing recordable DVD discs on page 51).

Recording 05 39 En You can set the recording quality for your timer recording in the same way as for a regular recording, but with the added option of an AUTO mode, which maximizes the recording quality for the space available on the disc (if recording to DVD), or to fit on to a blank DVD disc (if recording to HDD). You can set timer recordings to record to a recordable DVD or to the hard disk drive. For regular (daily or weekly) HDD timer recordings that you don’t need to keep, you can use the Auto Replace Recording feature to automatically replace the previous timer recording with the new one. Note that when you use this feature, the previous recording made on that timer program will be replaced by the next one, regardless of whether you have watched it yet or not. You can also set the recorder so that it will adjust the recording quality to try and fit the recording on to the disc if it would not otherwise fit at the recording quality you set (see Optimized Rec on page 114 for more on this). Finally, if you set a timer recording to record to DVD but there isn’t a recordable DVD loaded at the time of the recording, the Recovery Recording feature will automatically record the program to the HDD for you. Important •A timer recording can’t be set if there are already 32 timer programs waiting to be recorded. • Timer recording will not start if: – The recorder is already recording. – A disc is being initialized, finalized or unfinalized. • Timer recording will start when the operation preventing timer recording has finished. • The timer indicator ( ) lights in the front panel display when the timer is active. If the indicator is blinking it means that (for a DVD timer recording) there is no disc loaded, or the disc loaded is not recordable (for an HDD timer recording it means that the HDD is not recordable). • Approximately two minutes before a timer recording is set to start, the recorder will go into timer recording standby. In timer recording standby you cannot use some functions. • The maximum length for timer recordings made to the HDD is 24 hours. However, because one title (HDD) is limited to 12 hours, recordings over 12 hours will be spread over two titles. Note that there will be a break in the recording of a few seconds between titles.

This is useful when you set a timer recording and want to make sure that the timer settings are not changed before recording has finished. 1 If the recorder is on, switch it into standby. 2 (front panel) Press and hold for three seconds to lock the controls. The front panel display briefly shows LOCK . If any buttons are pressed on the remote or front panel, LOCK is briefly displayed again. • To unlock the recorder, press and hold  STOP on the front panel (while the recorder is stopped) for three seconds until the display shows UNLOCK . Timer recording FAQ Frequently Asked Questions • Even though the timer is set, the recorder doesn’t start recording! Check that the disc loaded or HDD is recordable, not locked (see Lock Disc on page 103), and that there are fewer than 99/999 titles already on the DVD/HDD. • 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. Simultaneous recording and playback (Chase Play) Chase Play allows you to watch a recording that is still in progress from the start, without having to wait until the recording has finished (i.e., playback is ‘chasing’ the recording). In fact, you’re not just limited to watching the recording in progress. You can watch anything else already on the HDD (or on a DVD if you’re recording to the HDD) by selecting it from the Disc Navigator screen (see Using the Disc Navigator with recordable discs and the HDD on page 57). • Press during recording to start playback from the beginning of the current recording 1 .  STANDBY/ON  Note 1 You can’t start playback immediately after recording starts.

Setting up 1 Connect the STB’s audio/video outputs to a set of audio/video inputs on this recorder. 2 Switch on both the STB and this recorder and switch the recorder’s input function to the STB (L1, L2 or L3). To check that everything is connected properly, switch on your TV and select this recorder as the video input. You should see whatever the STB is tuned to. 3 Program the IR controller supplied with your STB to send start/stop recording codes for a Pioneer VCR. See the manual that came with the STB for how to do this. Only the REC and STOP codes have any effect when used with this recorder: • REC – Start recording • STOP – Stop recording 4 Position the IR controller so that it will control this recorder. The IR sensor on the recorder is located just above the  mark on the front panel. Making a timer recording 1 Set the timer on the STB. See the manual that came with your STB for how to do this. 2 Switch on this recorder. You must leave the recorder on until the recording finishes. • At the programmed times, the STB will start and stop recording on this recorder. Playing your recordings on other DVD players Most regular DVD players can play finalized discs recorded in Video mode and DVD R discs. 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 or DVD R 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 on the disc so that it can be played on a regular DVD player or computer equipped with a suitable DVD-ROM drive.

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 103 before starting the steps below. DVD RW discs don’t generally need finalizing. However, if you want a title menu to appear when you play the disc, then you will need to finalize. When using a DVD RW, you can still record and edit even after finalizing. although the title menu will disappear if you do so. Finalize the disc again to generate a new title menu. Important • Once you’ve finalized a Video mode or DVD R disc, 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 104 for how to do this. •A VR mode DVD-R/-RW (excluding DVD- R DL) disc can still be recorded and edited on this recorder even after finalizing. • Video mode DVD-R DL discs and DVD R DL discs must be finalized in order to play in other recorders/players. Note however that some recorders/ players will not play even finalized dual- layer discs. 1 Load the disc you want to finalize. Make sure that the recorder is stopped before proceeding. 2 Select ‘Disc Setup’ from the Home Menu. 3 Select ‘Finalize’ > ‘Finalize’ > ‘Next Screen’. 4 For Video mode and DVD R/ RW 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’ (or ‘menu’ for a DVD R/ RW) 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. 5 The recorder will now start finalizing the disc.

Recording 05 51 En • 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. Video mode DVD-R/-RW and DVD R/ RW discs can take up to 20 minutes. Initializing recordable DVD discs DVD-R/-RW discs can be initialized for either Video mode recording or VR mode recording. 1 When you first load a blank DVD-RW or DVD RW disc, the recorder initializes it for recording automatically. By default, blank DVD-RW discs are initialized for VR mode recording. See DVD-RW Auto Init. on page 115 if you want to change the default to Video mode. DVD-R discs are ready for Video mode recordings out of the box; if you want to use a DVD-R for VR mode recording, you must initialize it before recording anything on the disc. DVD RW and DVD-RAM discs can also be initialized in order to erase the contents of the disc. Important • Initializing a DVD-RW, DVD RW or DVD-RAM disc will erase everything recorded on it. Make sure there is nothing on the disc that you want to keep! • You may not be able to re-initialize a DVD-RW disc in a different format if it was originally initialized on an older DVD recorder. • Once initialized for VR mode recording, you can’t re-initialize a DVD-R back to Video mode. 1 Select ‘Disc Setup’ from the Home Menu. 2 Select ‘Initialize’ > ‘Video Mode’, ‘VR Mode’ or ‘Initialize DVD RW’. 3 Select ‘Start’. It takes about 30 seconds to initialize the disc (except DVD-RAM discs, which can take up to 1 hour).

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 (or DVD R), the titles are no longer displayed, but the content remains on the disc. DVD-R/ R are write-once media; they 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.

Copying and backup 08 80 En Chapter 8 Copying and backup 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 81 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 82 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 119 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-R/-RW or DVD R/ RW, the chapter markers in the original material are not copied. Chapter markers are put into the copy at intervals, according to the Auto Chapter settings (see also Auto Chapter (Video) and Auto Chapter (DVD R/ RW) on page 115). Restrictions on copying Commercial DVD-Video discs are protected using Copy Guard. These discs cannot be copied to the HDD. 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 a CPRM ver. 1.1 or higher VR mode DVD-RW, ver. 2.0 or 2.1 VR mode DVD-R, or CPRM- compatible DVD-RAM disc (see CPRM on page 35 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.

Copying and backup 08 81 En 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 disc is loaded when trying to copy from the HDD. 1 If you’re copying from DVD to the HDD, select a recording mode. Note that selecting a recording mode higher than the title playing will not result in a better quality recording. 2 Press during playback 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. Canceling One Touch Copy You can cancel a One Touch Copy once it’s started. • Press and hold for more than a second. Copying is canceled and the video already copied is erased. • If you cancel a HDD to DVD-R/ 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 or 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 DVD-R/-RW or DVD R/ RW. • 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 DVD-R/-RW or DVD-RAM disc for this type of material. REC MODE ONE TOUCH COP Y ONE TOUCH COP Y DVR640H_KU_EN.book 81 ページ ２００６年３月７日　火曜日　午後３時１８分
Copying and backup 08 82 En • Low resolution ( SEP through LP modes 1 ) widescreen material can’t be copied to a Video mode disc. Use a VR mode DVD-R/ -RW or DVD-RAM disc for this type of material. • When HDD Recording Format is set to Video Mode Off, titles recorded in LP / MN9 to MN15 modes cannot be high- speed copied to a Video mode disc. Please use a VR mode DVD-R/-RW or DVD-RAM. • Recordings of dual mono broadcasts cannot be high-speed copied to a Video mode DVD. Please use a VR mode DVD- R/-RW or DVD-RAM. • Titles over 8 hours cannot be copied to single-layer DVD R/ RW discs using One Touch Copy. Use DVD R DL discs for titles over 8 hours. • Titles recorded in MN1 to MN6 , SEP , SLP or EP mode cannot be copied to DVD R/ RW using One Touch Copy. 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 81. 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.

Additional information 15 131 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. Do not clean discs with a circular motion. 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. DVR640H_KU_EN.book 131 ページ ２００６年３月７日　火曜日　午後３時１８分
Additional information 15 132 En 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. 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. 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. 2 Using the front panel controls, press and hold  STOP and press  STANDBY/ ON. The recorder turns off with all settings reset. DVR640H_KU_EN.book 132 ページ ２００６年３月７日　火曜日　午後３時１８分
