Note that discs may not play due to recording or disc characteristics, scratches or dirt on the disc or pickup lens, etc. This label indicates playback compatibility with DVD-RW discs recorded in VR mode (Video Recording format). However, for discs recorded with a record-only-once encrypted program, playback can only be achieved using a CPRM compatible device. Note that Pioneer cannot guarantee that discs recorded using this recorder will play on other players.
About the internal hard disk drive
The internal hard disk drive (HDD) is a fragile piece of equipment. Depending on the conditions under which it is used, or through careless use, it is possible that the recorded contents will be damaged or lost completely, or that normal playback and recording will not be possible. Please understand that in the event of repair or replacement of the HDD or related components, all your HDD recordings will be lost. Please use the recorder following the guidelines below to protect against possible HDD failure. The HDD should not be regarded as a place to store recordings permanently. We recommend that you back up your important recordings onto DVD-R/RW discs in order to protect against accidental loss. Pioneer cannot under any circumstances accept resposibility for any direct or indirect loss arising from any inconvenience or loss of recorded material resulting from HDD failure. Do not move the recorder while it is on (this includes during EPG download when the display shows EPG). Install and use the recorder on a stable, level surface. Do not block the rear vent/cooling fan. Do not use the recorder in excessively hot or humid places, or in places that may be subject to sudden changes in temperature. Sudden changes in temperature can cause condensation to form inside the recorder. This can be a cause of HDD failure. While the recorder is switched on (including during EPG download when the display shows EPG), do not unplug from the wall socket or switch the electricity off from the breaker switch. Do not move the recorder immediately after switching it off. If you need to move the recorder, please follow the steps below: 1 After the message POWER OFF is shown in the display, wait at least two minutes. 2 Unplug from the wall socket. 3 Move the recorder. If theres a power failure while the recorder is on there is a chance that some data on the HDD will be lost. The HDD is very delicate. If used improperly or in an unsuitable environment, it is possible that the HDD will fail after a few years of use. Signs of problems include playback unexpectedly freezing and noticeable block noise (mosaic) in the picture. However, sometimes there will be no warning signs of HDD failure. If the HDD fails, no playback of recorded material will be possible. In this case it will be necessary to replace the HDD unit.

GUIDE Plus+ FAQ and troubleshooting
This FAQ covers only a few questions. For a complete list please consult the GUIDE Plus+ website at: www.europe.guideplus.com FAQ When I tried setting up my external receiver I could not get any of the attempts to work, what should I do? A: There could be several reasons why your external receiver could not be controlled. The connections could be wrong. Make sure that the G-LINK cable is connected to the G-LINK connector on the recorder and the IR blaster is in front of the external receiver, pointing towards the IR receiver of your external receiver. See Connecting to a cable box, satellite receiver or digital terrestrial receiver on page 49.
Making changes to your GUIDE Plus+ setup
1 Select Setup from the Menu bar.
Highlight the part you want to change.
The code that is listed under your brand could be wrong. Please try other codes for your brand under satellite, cable or terrestrial. Go to the Setup Area and choose one of the three options (cable, satellite or terrestrial) that you have not already tried. Follow the on-screen prompts to make sure that GUIDE Plus+ can change channels on your external receiver. If it does not work, repeat the process, choosing different reception and external receiver combinations until you have tried all the codes for your brand of receiver that are already in the GUIDE Plus+ system. If it still does not work, see below on how to receive new codes overnight. The unit has not yet received new codes. The nightly data downloads frequently include new codes for controlling external receivers. Please tune your external receiver to your local host channel and leave it on overnight. Switch this recorder into standby. The next morning, please perform the GUIDE Plus+ setup again to see if your external receiver can now be controlled. The external receiver that you use is currently not supported. If, after leaving your external receiver on overnight, and doing the Reception and External Receiver Setup again, it still does not respond, please call Customer Support to report your brand and model.

Note 1.This cannot be selected if AV2/L1 In is set to Decoder (see AV2/L1 In on page 132).

Recording from a DV camcorder
Important The source signal must be DVC-SD format Some camcorders cannot be controlled using this recorders remote. If you connect a second recorder using a DV cable, you cannot control the second unit from this one. You cant control this unit remotely from a component connected to the DV IN jack. You cant record date and time information from DV cassette. During DV recording, if a part of the tape is blank, or has copy-protected material on it, this recorder will pause recording. Recording will restart automatically when there is a recordable signal. However, if there is more than 10 seconds of blank tape, this recorder will stop recording and the camcorder should stop (depending on the camcorder). For best results when recording from a DV camcorder to this recorder, we recommend cueing the camcorder to the place you want to start recording from and setting the camcorder to playpause. 1 Make sure your digital camcorder is connected to the front panel DV IN jack. Also, set the camcorder to VTR mode. 2 Set up the recorder. Use REC MODE to set the recording quality. See Setting the picture quality/recording time on page 81 for detailed information. Make sure a recordable disc is loaded if you want to record to DVD. 3 From the Initial Settings menu, check that the DV audio input is setup as you require. See DV Input on page 133 for more on this. Check also that the Audio In settings for External Audio and Bilingual Recording are as you want them (see Audio In Settings on page 132). 4 Press HOME MENU, select Copy, then DV Record from the menu. DV recording only works when the digital camcorder is in VTR mode with a tape loaded. 5 Select Record to Hard Disk Drive or Record to DVD to record to the hard disk drive or a recordable DVD respectively. 6 Find the place on the camcorder tape that you want to start recording from. For best results, pause playback at the point from which you want to record.
You can record from a DV camcorder connected to the DV IN jack on the front panel of this recorder. Using the recorders remote, you can control both the camcorder and this recorder. Before recording, make sure that the audio input for the DV IN jack is setup (see DV Input on page 133).

Frequently asked questions Why doesnt the available recording time increase when I erase titles from a VR mode DVD-R? When you erase titles from a DVD-R, the titles are no longer displayed, but the content remains on the disc. DVD-R is a write-once medium; it cant be erased or rewritten. I cant edit my disc! You may find that as the available recording time is reduced on a VR mode DVD-R disc, editing is no longer possible. This is because information about your edits requires a certain amount of disc space. As you edit, this information builds up, eventually preventing you from editing further.

Playing a slideshow

1 Press HOME MENU and select PhotoViewer to display the PhotoViewer screen. The PhotoViewer is only accessible when a disc containing JPEG files is loaded. If you encounter a disc that will not play, check that the disc and file formats are compatible with this recorder (see JPEG file compatibility and PC-created disc compatibility on page 43). 2 Use the / buttons to select a folder from the folder list. The first nine images from the selected folder are displayed as thumbnails in the main part of the screen. The larger the file size, the longer it takes the recorder to load the file. 3 Press ENTER or to move to the thumbnail view area. The first thumbnail image is highlighted. To get back to the folder list, press RETURN (or when the leftmost thumbnail is highlighted).
5 Press ENTER or to start playing a slideshow from the selected thumbnail. Use the PREV / NEXT buttons to display the previous/next picture, or the button to pause the slideshow. Depending on the aspect ratio, some pictures may be displayed with black bars top and bottom, or left and right. Large picture files may take a few seconds to display. This is normal. 6 Press or RETURN to return to the thumbnail view area. 7 To return to the folder view area, press RETURN (or when the leftmost thumbnail is highlighted). To exit the PhotoViewer, press HOME MENU.
Note 1.Up to 999 files or 99 folders are viewable, but if there are more files/folders than this on the disc it is still possible to view them all using the Reload function (see the following page).

Regions (DVD only)

(example region code marks)
Regions associate discs and players with particular areas of the world. This unit will only play discs that have compatible region codes. You can find the region code of your unit by looking on the rear panel. Some discs are compatible with more than one region (or all regions).

Sampling frequency

The rate at which sound is measured to be turned into digital audio data. The higher the rate, the better the sound quality, but the more digital information is generated. Standard CD audio has a sampling frequency of 44.1kHz, which means 44,100 samples (measurements) per second. See also Digital audio.
