Recording0652EnAbout DVD recordingThis recorder can record on both DVD-R and DVD-RWmedia. The main difference between the two is thatDVD-R discs can only be recorded once, while DVD-RWcan be recorded, erased and re-recorded many times.A further difference between the two disc types is thatonly DVD-RW can be initialized for VR mode recording,which offers much more comprehensive editingfunctions compared to Video mode recording.The big advantage, however, of Video mode is itscompatibility with standard DVD players, most of whichwill not play VR mode DVD-RW discs (see also the notesbelow).While DVD-R discs can only be recorded using theVideo mode, you can initialize a DVD-RW disc for Videoor VR mode recordings. Once initialized (any previouscontent is erased in this operation), all recordings onthat disc will be in the chosen recording mode. Important• You cannot play, edit or record on unfinalized DVD-R/RW discs recorded in Video mode on other DVDrecorders. (Likewise, unfinalized Video mode discsrecorded on this recorder are not playable on otherplayers/recorders.)• This recorder cannot record onto CD-R or CD-RWdiscs.• Pioneer takes no responsibility for recording failuredue to power cuts, defective discs, or damage tothe recorder.• Fingerprints and small scratches on a disc canaffect playback and/or recording performance.Please take proper care of your discs.Note• Some DVD players, such as some Pioneer models,are compatible with VR mode DVD-RW discs.Check the operating instructions for your player forVR mode compatibility information.• The maximum number of titles that can berecorded on a DVD-R/RW disc is 99.• The maximum number of chapters recordable on aDVD-R/RW disc is 999.Chapter 6RecordingRecordingmodeXPSPLPSLPRecording timeApprox. 60 minApprox. 120 minApprox. 240 minApprox. 360 minQualityCan record high qualityimages.Can record normalquality images.Quality deterioratesslightly, but recordingtime is longer.Recording time isprioritized over quality.Recording modesThere are 4 modes for recording on disc. Recordingtime and quality vary according to mode.• Recording time above is based on a 4.7GB disc.Since DVD recording is performed using VBR (VariableBit Rate), recording time varies according to therecorded content.To know the correct recording time, stop recording andcheck the media information. (See page 35.)Note• Recording time can change for the followingreasons.• When image quality is poor as during poor TVreception.• When recording on a disc that has been editedbefore.• When the video is followed with recordings of stillimages or just audio.VRB1351A_EN_52_62 04.6.14, 10:29 AM52
Recording 0653EnDisc remaining timeVR mode•Recording is possible as long as there is availablespace on the disc. (Finalized discs can be recordedby cancelling the finalization, see “UNDO FINAL-IZE” on page 28.)•Erasing unnecessary title frees up available spaceon the disc. (Titles can be erased from finalizeddiscs by first undoing the finalization. See “UNDOFINALIZE” on page 28.)Video mode•Up until the disc is finalized, recording is possibleas long as there is available space on the disc.(Once the disc has been finalized, additionalrecording and erasing are not possible.)•The remaining time cannot be increased, nor canrecorded title be overwritten.•Titles cannot be erased nor can recorded titles beoverwritten.Restrictions on video recording•You cannot record copy-protected video using thisrecorder. Copy-protected video includes DVD-Videodiscs and some satellite broadcasts. If copy-protected material is encountered during arecording, recording will pause automatically andan error message will be displayed on-screen.•Video that is `copy-once only' can only be recordedon a DVD-RW disc in VR mode (see below).•When recording a TV broadcast or through anexternal input, you can display copy controlinformation on screen. (see Displaying discinformation on-screen on page 35).CPRMCPRM is a copy protection system with scramblesystem regarding the recording of `copy once' broad-cast programs. CPRM stands for Content Protection forRecordable Media.This recorder is CPRM compatible, which means thatyou can record copy-once broadcast programs, but youcannot then make a copy of those recordings. CPRMrecordings can only be made on CPRM-compatibleDVD-RW (ver. 1.1 or higher) discs formatted in VR mode.DVD CPRM recordings can only be played on playersthat are specifically compatible with CPRM.Recording equipment and copyrightYou may use this product only to reproduce or copymaterials for which you own the copyright or haveobtained permission to copy from the copyright owneror for which you otherwise have a legal right to repro-duce or copy.
