PRV-9000 Operating Instructions
1.1.2 Recording
The following points summarize the recording functions.
Program up to 8 Timed Recordings
Program the PRV-9000 to record up to eight events, up to a month in
advance, using the VCR+Plus system. In addition to recording single
programs, you can specify daily or weekly recordings too.
One-Touch Recording
Use the one-touch recording feature to start a 30-minute recording
block immediately. The recording time is extended another 30-minutes
each time the one-touch button is pressed.
Disc Timer Recording
(VR mode)
Instead of storing a timer program in the recorder’s memory, program a
disc for a timed recording. The timer is automatically set when the disc
is loaded. This is a great function for recording a regular weekly
program on a single disc.
Optimized Recording
(VR mode)
Optimized recording
adjusts the playback quality/recording time
automatically if a timer recording is too long for the available disc space.
High Quality 16-bit Linear PCM Audio
When using one of the high-quality settings in VR mode, the audio is
recorded in the uncompressed 16-bit Linear PCM format. This format
delivers clear audio to accompany the high picture quality.
Picture Quality Adjustments
During playback or recording, you can adjust various quality settings to
improve the picture. For example, to copy an old video tape to DVD,
optimize the picture quality before transferring it to disc.
Manual Level Recording
(VR mode)
While the standard mode allows up to two hours of recording to a disc,
using the manual mode allows the picture quality to be adjusted down to
add recording time. There are a total of 32 recording rates with the
lowest picture quality giving up to 8 hours of recording time per disc.
Auto-Recording from Satellite Receiver or Other Set-Top Systems
Connecting a satellite receiver or a set-top box to the recorder’s Line
2/Auto Rec inputs provide automatic starts and stops synchronized to
the timer settings on the receiver or the set-top box.
1.1.3 Video
Input/Output
The PRV-9000 has a built-in DV (Digital Video) input/output jack for directly
connecting a digital video camera to the unit. Simply transfer the footage to
the unit and edit your video. DVD content may also be transferred back to the
DV camera.
