The Disc Setup menu

Initialize settings

You can initialize a recordable DVD-R/-RW
disc for either VR mode or Video mode
recording.

The first time you load a new DVD-RW disc,
it will be automatically initialized for
recording according to the DVD-RW Auto
Init. setting in the Disc Setup menu (see
page 62).

New DVD-R discs are ready for Video mode
recording when you load them, but it is also
possible to initialize them for VR mode

recording.

DVD+RW and DVD-RAM discs can also be
initialized as a way of erasing the entire disc.
When initializing a DVD-RAM disc, select VR
mode.

See

page 61 for detailed instructions.

Finalize settings

Finalize

Finalizing ‘fixes’ the recordings in place so
that the disc can be played on a regular DVD
player or computer equipped with a suitable
DVD-ROM drive.

It is also possible to finalize DVD+RW discs.
This is only necessary if you want to a player
to display a title menu for the disc.

See

on page 60 for detailed instructions.

Undo Finalize

You can undo the finalization on DVD-RW
discs recorded on this recorder in Video
mode. You need to do this if you want to
record more material or edit material already
on the disc.

You can also undo the finalization of VR
mode discs which have been finalized on
other DVD recorders. If when you load a disc
the message

is displayed, use

this command to be able to record on the
disc using this recorder.

Optimize HDD

As you record, erase and edit recordings, the
HDD file system gradually becomes
fragmented. Periodically, the HDD will need
optimizing to ‘clean up’ all the fragmented
files.

When the HDD needs optimizing the
recorder will automatically display a
message recommending optimization.

Important

• Optimizing the HDD can take as long as

eight hours. During optimization,
playback and recording are not possible.

• Canceling optimization mid-way does

not undo the optimization already done,
so the HDD will be partly optimized.

Note

1 Once initialized for VR mode recording it is not possible to re-initialize the disc for Video mode recording. Also,

once recorded in Video mode, the disc cannot be re-initialized for VR mode recording.

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 wipe 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.

Cleaning the pickup lens

The HDD/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 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.
