HDD and DVD recording

Recording time and picture quality

There are six preset recording quality modes

•

– High quality setting, gives about one hour of

recording time on a DVD disc.

•

(Standard Play) – Default quality, used for most

applications, gives about two hours of recording time
on a DVD.

•

(Long Play) – Lower video quality than SP, but

doubles the recording time on a DVD to about four
hours.

•

(Extended Play) – Lower quality than LP, but gives

about six hours of recording time on a DVD disc.

•

SLP

(Super Long Play) – Lower quality than EP, but

gives about eight hours of recording time on a DVD
disc.

•

SEP

(Super Extended Play) – Lowest video quality but

gives about ten hours of recording time on a DVD
disc.

Please note that there is a trade-off between recording
time and quality. The longer the possible recording time,
the lower the recorded picture quality.

In addition to these settings, when Manual Recording is
On (see

Manual Recording

on page 113) you can access

32 different recording quality/time settings (

MN1

–

MN32

), a high-quality audio mode (

LPCM

), and a super-

high quality (data transfer rate of around 15 Mbps) HDD
recording mode (

XP+

When setting a timer recording there is a further option,

AUTO

, which maximizes the recording quality for the

space available on the disc loaded at the time of
recording. (If recording to the HDD, the recording quality
is maximized to fit on to a DVD disc.)

Recorded audio

In all except the

LPCM

mode, sound is recorded in two

channel Dolby Digital format. When set to

LPCM

, sound

is recorded in high quality, uncompressed Linear PCM
format.

If the broadcast audio is bilingual and you are recording
in Video mode or to the HDD with the HDD Recording
Format set to Video Mode On, or on the

LPCM

setting,

use the Bilingual Recording setting (page 111) to select
the

A/L

B/R

audio channel to record before recording

starts. In other cases, both channels of a bilingual
broadcast will be recorded and you can switch on
playback.

Restrictions on video recording

You cannot record copy-protected video using this
recorder. Copy-protected video includes DVD-Video discs
and some satellite broadcasts. If copy-protected material
is encountered during a recording, recording will pause
automatically and an error message will be displayed on-
screen.

Video that is ‘copy-once only’ can only be recorded on the
HDD or in VR mode (see below).

When recording a TV broadcast or through an external
input, you can display copy control information on
screen. (see

Displaying disc information on-screen

page 36).

CPRM

CPRM is a copy protection/scrambling system developed
for the recording of ‘copy once’ broadcast programs.
CPRM stands for

Content Protection for Recordable

Media

This recorder is CPRM compatible, which means that
you can record copy-once broadcast programs, but you
cannot then make a copy of those recordings. CPRM
recordings can only be made on CPRM-compatible
DVD-R (ver. 2.0/8x or higher) or DVD-RW (ver. 1.1 or
higher) discs formatted in VR mode or on the HDD.

DVD CPRM recordings can only be played on players that
are specifically compatible with CPRM.

Recording equipment and copyright

Recording equipment should be used only for lawful
copying and you are advised to check carefully what is
lawful copying in the country in which you are making a
copy. Copying of copyright material such as films or
music is unlawful unless permitted by a legal exception
or consented to by the rightowners.

Timer recording FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

• Even though the timer is set, the recorder doesn’t start

recording!

Check that the disc loaded or HDD is recordable, not
locked (see

Lock Disc

on page 104), and that there are

fewer than 99/999 titles already on the DVD/HDD.

• The recorder won’t let me enter a timer program! Why

not?

You can’t enter a timer program if the clock isn’t set.

• What happens when two or more timer programs

overlap?

Basically, the program with the earlier recording start
time has priority. However, the recorder will start
recording the program with the later start time after
the earlier program is finished. If two programs have
the same times (but different channels, for example),
the program set most recently takes priority.

If VPS/PDC is active for two timer programs that are
programmed to start at the same time, then the
program that actually starts first takes priority.

Simultaneous recording and
playback

A feature called Chase Play makes it possible to watch a
recording in progress (DVD or HDD) from the start of the
recording (as in, playback is ‘chasing’ the recording). For
example, perhaps you have to miss the first 30 minutes of
a movie on TV; you can start recording, then start
watching the movie, from the beginning, while the
recorder is still recording 30 minutes ahead of you.

In fact, you’re not just limited to watching the recording
in progress; you can watch anything else already on the
DVD or HDD by selecting it from the Disc Navigator
screen (see

Using the Disc Navigator with recordable

discs and the HDD

on page 62).

Important

• Note that you must use a DVD-RW Ver. 1.1 / 2x or

Ver. 1.2 disc to be able to use this feature.

• You may not be able to use this feature with a

DVD-RW disc that was first initialized on another
recorder.

• Chase playback is not possible using a VR mode

DVD-R disc.

•

During recording, press

PLAY to start playback

from the beginning of the current recording

, or

press DISC NAVIGATOR and select another title to
play from there.

You can use all the usual playback controls, such as

pause, slow-motion play, scan

and skip.

• To stop playback, press

STOP

(recording will

continue).

• To stop recording, press

STOP REC

(playback will

continue).

• During recording or in timer recording standby, you

can’t play an HDD title, DVD or Video CD/Super VCD
disc if the Input Line System setting doesn’t match
the TV line system of the disc/HDD title (see also

Additional information about the TV system settings

on page 116). Also, during simultaneous recording
and playback, if the TV line system of the playback
track/title changes then playback will automatically
stop.

VR mode

HDD

Note

1.You can’t start playback immediately after recording starts. Simultaneous playback and recording doesn’t work while copying or backing up.
2.When scanning a DVD, no sound is output if the recorder is also recording the DVD (see

Scanning discs

on page 64).

Finalizing a disc

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.

Note that the disc name will appear in the title menu after
you finalize a disc. Make sure the disc name is as you
want it before you finalize the disc as it can’t be changed
afterwards. If you want to rename the disc, see

Input Disc

Name

on page 104 before starting the steps below.

Important

• Once you’ve finalized a disc recorded in Video mode,

you can’t edit or record anything else on that disc.
However, the finalization on a DVD-RW disc maybe
‘undone’; see

Undo Finalize

on page 105 for how to do

this.

• A VR mode disc can still be recorded and edited on

this recorder even after finalizing.

Load the disc you want to finalize.

Make sure that the recorder is stopped before
proceeding.

Press HOME MENU and select ‘Disc Setup’.

Select ‘Finalize’.

Select ‘Finalize’ from the finalize options, then

‘Next Screen’.

For Video mode discs only, select a title menu

style, then select ‘Yes’ to start finalization or ‘No’ to
cancel.

The menu you select will be the one that appears when
the ‘top menu’ is selected on any DVD player.

• Discs recorded partially or fully on the Pioneer

DVR-7000 DVD recorder do not support this feature.
These discs will have only a text title menu when
finalized on this recorder.

The recorder will now start finalizing the disc.

During finalization:

• If the finalization process of a DVD-RW disc is going

to take more than around four minutes, you can
press

ENTER

to cancel. Around four minutes before

completion, the option to cancel disappears.

• You can’t cancel the finalization of a VR mode DVD-R

disc.

• How long finalization takes depends on the type of

disc, how much is recorded on the disc and the
number of titles on the disc. A disc recorded in VR
mode can take up to one hour to finalize. A disc
recorded in Video mode can take up to 20 minutes.

Note

1.If the TV line system of the disc is different to the current setting of the recorder, you will not be able to finalize the disc. See

Additional infor-

mation about the TV system settings

on page 116 for how to change the recorder’s setting.
