Audio In Settings - Pioneer DVR-520H Operating Instructions Manual

The Initial Setup menu
• Decoder – Use this setting if you are using a decoder
connected to the AV2/AUTO START REC (INPUT 1/
DECODER) input. (For scrambled channels, make
sure that the manual channel Decoder setting is set
to On—see also Manual CH Setting on page 100).
Note that on this setting, it is not possible to use Auto
Start Recording.
Note
• When the Input Line System setting is set to 525
System, RGB can't be selected.
• When the Input Line System setting is set to 625
System, RGB can be selected, but if the Input Line
System is then changed to 525 System, the AV2/L1
In setting automatically changes to Video.
• See also Input Line System on page 98.

When set to On, NTSC discs (from the U.S., for example)
will play correctly on a PAL-only TV. Change to Off if your
TV is already NTSC-compatible.
Depending on this setting and the Input Line System
setting (see Input Line System on page 98), the signal
format output when the recorder is stopped varies as
shown in the table below.

displaying NTSC pictures without the need for this
setting. Check the manual that came with your TV if
you're not sure whether yours has this feature.

If the external source is standard stereo, leave set to

change to Bilingual.
DVR-520H/720H only: When the external audio is from
the DV input, an audio subcode channel within the DV
audio tells the recorder whether the audio is stereo or
bilingual. This has priority over the setting you make here.
