When recording in the VR mode Even if a disc recorded in the VR mode is finalised, y ou can record or edit b y cancelling the finalisation. (See “UNDO FINALISE” on page 23.) When you pla yback the disc with another play er , make sure that the D VD pla yer supports D VD-RW and bears the follo wing mark. When recording in the Video mode When a disc recorded in the Video mode is finalised, it cannot be recorded onto any more. Therefore , bef ore finalisation, be sure to perform all desired recording. After finalisation, a title list that can be used by the D VD pla yer is automatically created.

When recording in the VR mode One-time recording is set to 1 title (1 chapter). Howe ver , if y ou stop recording temporarily or erase scenes by editing, the chapter will automatically be par titioned. The interval between chapters can be specified. (See page 27.)

VCR O THER Good Picture Snowy Picture Video Head Clogging The video heads record and playback pictures and sound on the video tape. In the event that they become dirty you won't be able to do a perfect recording and the playback picture will be extremely snowy. Also, keep in mind that a poor tape quality and a damaged cassette may contribute to the rapid accumulation of dirt on the heads. Video head cleaning VIDEO HEAD CLEANING Video head cleaning is needed when the playback picture becomes unclear. This signifies that the heads are getting dirty and can occur when playing poor quality or damaged tapes. If the heads require cleaning, use a equivalent high quality chemical non-abrasive (wet) head cleaning tape or have them cleaned professionally. If playing a head cleaning tape in the VCR once does not improve the picture, play it several times before requesting service. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE TOP COVER. NOTES: • Video heads may eventually wear out and should be replaced when they fail to produce clear pictures. • To help prevent video head clogging, use only good quality VHS tapes. Discard worn out tapes. 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 and remove the disc . 2 Press and hold and press STANDBY/ON .

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 e xposed to direct sunlight.  Use in a dusty or damp environment or in a room where it will be e xposed to excessiv e cigarette smoke .  Place directly on top of an amplifier , or other com- ponent in your stereo system that becomes hot in use.  Use near a television or monitor as y ou ma y expe- r ience interference-especially if the tele vision uses an indoor antenna.  Use in a kitchen or other room where the recorder may be e xposed to smoke or steam.  Use on a thick rug or car pet, or cov er with cloth- this ma y prev ent proper cooling of the unit.  Place on an unstable surf ace, or one that is not large enough to suppor t all four of the unit's f eet. Other (Additional inf ormation) Handling discs When holding discs of any type , take care not to lea ve finger prints, dir t or scratches on the disc surf ace. Hold the disc by its edge or b y the center hole and edge. Damaged or dir ty discs can affect pla yback and record- ing performance. T ak e 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 unus- able . Should a disc become marked with fingerpr ints, dust, etc., clean using a soft, dr y cloth, wiping the disc lightly from the center to the outside edge as shown in the diagram below . If necessar y , use a cloth soak ed in alcohol, or a commercially av ailable CD/D VD cleaning kit to clean a disc more thoroughly . Ne ver use benzine , thinner or other cleaning agents, in- cluding products designed for clean- ing vinyl records . Storing discs Although CDs and D VD discs are more durable than vinyl records, y ou should still take care to handle and store discs correctly . When you're not using a disc , re- turn it to its case and store upr ight. Av oid leaving discs in e xcessively cold, humid, or hot en vironments (includ- ing under direct sunlight). Don't glue paper or put stick ers onto the disc, or use a pencil, ball-point pen or other shar p-tipped writing in- strument. These could all damage the disc. F or more detailed care inf or mation 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 crack ed, chipped, warped, or otherwise damaged, don't risk using it; you could end up dam- aging the recorder . This recorder is designed f or use with conv entional, fully circular discs only . Use of shaped discs is not recom- mended for this product. Pioneer disclaims all liability arising in connection with the use of shaped discs. Cleaning the pickup lens The D VD recorder's lens should not become dir ty in normal use, but if f or some reason it should malfunc- tion due to dust or dir t, consult your nearest Pioneer- authorized ser vice center . Although lens cleaners for CD pla yers are commercially av ailable, we do not rec- ommend using them since some may damage the lens . 88 En 2H30301B_En_82_Back 8/4/05, 19:27 88
