Before you start 01 9 En Using DVD-R DL/DVD R DL discs DVD-R DL (dual-layer) and DVD R DL (double-layer) discs contain two recordable layers on a single side, giving about 1.8 times the recording capacity of a conventional single-layer disc. This unit can record to both DVD-R DL and DVD R DL discs. • If you intend to play DVD-R DL (Video mode) or DVD R DL discs recorded on this unit on other DVD recorders/players, you must finalize them. (Note that some DVD recorders/players may not play even finalized DL discs.) • Please read the information provided on the disc packaging carefully before purchasing DVD-R DL/DVD R DL discs: • Confirm the disc version: Use ver. 3.0 / 2x to 4x DVD-R discs. • Confirm the recording speed: DVD-R should be compatible with 2x or 4x recording; DVD R with 2.4x to 8x recording. • This logo indicates that the disc is a DVD-R DL or DVD R DL disc: • Correct operation has been confirmed for DVD-R DL discs (ver. 3.0 / 2x, 4x) produced by the following manufacturers: Mitsubishi Kagaku Media, Verbatim (as of March 2005). About DualDisc playback A DualDisc is a new two -sided disc, one side of which contains DVD content –video, audio, etc. –while the other side contains non-DVD content such as digital audio material. The non-DVD, audio side of the disc is not compliant with the CD Audio specification and therefore may not play. It is possible that when loading or ejecting a DualDisc, the opposite side to that being played will be scratched. Scratched discs may not be playable. The DVD side of a DualDisc plays in this product. DVD-Audio content will not play. For more detailed information on the DualDisc specification, please refer to the disc manufacturer or disc retailer. Other disc compatibility In addition to DVD, this recorder is compatible with a wide range of disc types (media) and formats. Playable discs will generally feature one of the following logos on the disc and/or disc packaging. Note however that some disc types, such as recordable CD (and DVD), may be in an unplayable format—see below for further compatibility information. CD-R/-RW compatibility This recorder cannot record CD-R or CD-RW discs. • Readable formats: CD-Audio, Video CD/ Super VCD, ISO 9660 CD-ROM* containing MP3, WMA, JPEG or DivX files. * ISO 9660 Level 1 or 2 compliant.

WMA content can be encoded by using Windows Media ® Player for Windows ® XP, Windows Media ® Player 9 or Windows Media ® Player 10 series. Microsoft, Windows Media, and the Windows logo are trademarks, or registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries. DivX video compatibility DivX is a compressed digital video format created by the DivX ® video codec from DivX, Inc. This recorder can play DivX video files burned on CD-R/-RW/-ROM discs. Keeping the same terminology as DVD-Video, individual DivX video files are called "Titles." When naming files/titles on a CD-R/-RW disc prior to burning, keep in mind that by default they will be played in alphabetical order. Note 1 DRM (digital rights management) copy protection is a technology designed to prevent unauthorized copying by restricting playback, etc. of compressed audio files on devices other than the PC (or other recording equipment) used to record it. For detailed information, please see the instruction manuals or help files that came with your PC and/or software. DVR640H_RLT_EN.book 10 ページ ２００６年４月１１日　火曜日　午後１２時２６分
Before you start 01 11 En • Official DivX ® Certified product. • Plays all versions of DivX ® video (including DivX ® 6) with standard playback of DivX ® media files. • File extensions: .avi and .divx (these must be used for the recorder to recognize DivX video files). Note that all files with the .avi extension are recognized as MPEG4, but not all of these are necessarily DivX video files and therefore may not be playable on this recorder. • File structure: Up to 99 folders or 999 files. 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.

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. DVR640H_RLT_EN.book 12 ページ ２００６年４月１１日　火曜日　午後１２時２６分
Before you start 01 13 En • 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 105). Symbols used in this manual The following icons are provided to help you quickly identify which instructions you need for which kind of disc.

Recording 05 31 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. • Although this recorder can record PAL, SECAM, NTSC and PAL-60, you can’t mix multiple TV line systems on one disc. A disc can contain PAL and SECAM recordings, or NTSC and PAL-60. See also Additional information about the TV system settings on page 119. 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. Disc type/rec. format Max. titles (per disc) Max. chapters (per title) DVD-R/-RW Video mode 99 99 DVD-R/-RW/-RAM VR mode 99 999 *1 DVD R/ RW 49 99 *2 DVR640H_RLT_EN.book 31 ページ ２００６年４月１１日　火曜日　午後１２時２６分
Recording 05 32 En • 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, dirt 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 7 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. • It is possible to record both PAL and NTSC titles on the HDD. Before recording, you need to make sure that the Input Line System setting (page 119) matches the TV line system of the source you’re recording. HDD Video mode compatibility When recording to the HDD you can choose to record in one of two formats. Set the format from the HDD Recording Format item in the Initial Setup menu (see page 117). 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 bilingual broadcast, set which channel you want to record from the Initial Setup menu (see Bilingual Recording on page 113). DVR640H_RLT_EN.book 32 ページ ２００６年４月１１日　火曜日　午後１２時２６分
Recording 05 33 En When HDD Recording Format is set to Video Mode Off, high-speed copying isn’t possible. However, both channels of bilingual broadcasts are recorded and you can switch the audio on playback. 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) . When set to LPCM , sound is recorded in high quality, uncompressed Linear PCM format. If the broadcast audio is bilingual 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 Bilingual Recording setting (page 113) to select the A/ L or B/R audio channel to record before recording starts. In other cases, both channels of a bilingual broadcast will be recorded and you can switch on playback. 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 65). 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, DVD-RAM discs or on the HDD. DVD CPRM recordings can only be played on players that are specifically compatible with CPRM.

Recording 05 35 En Setting the picture quality/ recording time Before starting a recording, you will usually want to set the picture quality/recording time. 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 116), 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 118) 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 52).

Recording 05 37 En Setting a timer recording Using the timer recording features you can program up to 32 timer recordings up to a month in advance. Timer recording programs can be set to record just once, every day, or every week. There are three ways to program a timer recording; using the Easy Timer Recording feature (see Easy Timer Recording on page 38), using the G-Code programming system (see Timer recording using the G- Code™ programming system on page 39), or using manual timer recording (see Setting a manual timer recording on page 41). 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 116 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.

Recording 05 45 En 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 58). DVR-640H-S/DVR-541H-S: Chase Play is not possible when DV is the recording input. Imprtant • You can’t use this feature during Auto Start Recording, or in Auto Start Recording standby (the AUTO indicator is lit in the front panel display). • Press during recording to start playback from the beginning of the current recording 1 . • Press during recording to select another title to play. 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). • During recording or in timer recording standby, you can’t play an HDD title, DVD or Video CD/Super VCD disc if the Input Line System setting doesn’t match the TV line system of the disc/HDD title (see also Additional information about the TV system settings on page 119). Also, during simultaneous recording and playback, if the TV line system of the playback track/title changes then playback will automatically stop. HDD Note 1 You can’t start playback immediately after recording starts. Simultaneous playback and recording doesn’t work while copying or backing up.

Recording 05 50 En 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. 1 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 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. DVD ( VR) DVD ( Video) DVD R DVD RW Note 1 If the TV line system of the disc is different to the current setting of the recorder, you will not be able to finalize the disc.

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. During finalization: • If the finalization process of a DVD-RW or DVD R/ 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. Video mode DVD-R/-RW and DVD R/ RW discs can take up to 20 minutes.

Recording 05 52 En 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 117 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 121 for more on copying times. 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 117). 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 33 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 Recording equipment should be used only for lawful copying and you are advised to check carefully what is lawful copying in the country in which you are making a copy. Copying of copyright material such as films or music is unlawful unless permitted by a legal exception or consented to by the rightowners. 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 COPY ONE TOUCH COPY DVR640H_RLT_EN.book 81 ページ ２００６年４月１１日　火曜日　午後１２時２６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 bilingual 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. 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. • The Copy List is erased if the Input Line System setting is changed (see Additional information about the TV system settings on page 119). • Resetting the recorder to its factory settings (see Resetting the recorder on page 138) will erase the Copy List. 1 Load a recordable DVD. • It is possible to complete the following steps without having a recordable DVD loaded (or having an uninitialized DVD loaded); however, the steps are slightly different. • If you want to use a DVD-RW (VR mode) disc for the copy, make sure it is initialized before you start. Note 1 In manual recording mode these equate to MN1 to MN15 (Video Mode Off) or MN1 to MN8 (Video Mode On). DVR640H_RLT_EN.book 82 ページ ２００６年４月１１日　火曜日　午後１２時２６分

Additional information 15 136 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. DVR640H_RLT_EN.book 136 ページ ２００６年４月１１日　火曜日　午後１２時２６分
Additional information 15 137 En 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 player 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. 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.
