Pioneer High Performance DVD Recorders with Built-in HDD
DVD Multi Disc Recording and Playback
In addition to DVD-RAM* and DVD+R/RW, Pioneer DVD
recorders are compatible with Dual Layer DVD-R and Double
Layer DVD+R, letting you record and playback a wide
selection of discs. No need to worry whether your discs are
usable on the DVD recorder.

HDMI Interface (DVR-660H, DVR-560H)
These Pioneer DVD recorders feature HDMI
(High Definition Multimedia Interface), an
industry-supported, uncompressed, all-
digital audio/video interface. Connect the
DVD recorder with our A/V receiver and flat screen TV, for example, and
HDMI's all-digital signal processing gives you superior pictures and sound
— with no loss. It does this by allowing transmission of both audio and
video signals with no D/A or A/D conversion, through easy single-cable
connection. The DVR-660H and DVR-560H feature 1080 digital output, to
deliver pictures in the highest resolution.
KURO LINK (DVR-660H, DVR-560H)
By connecting these DVD recorders with a compatible Pioneer flat screen
TV, KURO LINK lets you operate the basic functions such as power on/off,
playback, and recording, with only the flat screen TV's remote control.
Connect Your Digital Camcorder (DVR-660H, DVR-560H)
Connect your digital video camcorder through the DV-In
terminal, and discover how simple it is to view and organize
your home movies. When you import video, Auto Chapter can
automatically divide footage into chapters for quick access to
your favourite scenes. You can edit footage any way you like
using the easy-to-follow GUI — changing sequences or selecting only
desired scenes — and copy the results to DVD. The remote control is all
you need to navigate through functions on both the camcorder and the
DVD recorder.
* "i.LINK" and "i.LINK" logo are trademarks. Can be connected to video DV decks
and DV camcorders (some models are not compatible).
