Pioneer XV-DVR9H Operating Instructions Manual page 7

Before you start
• One Touch Copy
One Touch Copy makes copying the currently playing title
from HDD to DVD, or DVD to HDD as simple as pressing
a button.
• Chase play
Using chase play you can start watching a recording
before the recording has finished. For example, you could
set a timer recording for a program that you're going to
miss the first 15 minutes of, then start watching while
still recording the program 15 minutes ahead of you.
• Simultaneous recording and playback
Playback and recording for both DVDs and the built-in
hard disk drive (HDD) are completely independent. For
example you can record a broadcast program to either a
recordable DVD or the HDD, while watching another
recording you already made on the same DVD or on the
HDD.
• Disc Navigator
The on-screen Disc Navigator makes finding your way
around the contents of a disc or the HDD easy. For
recordable DVD and HDD content, moving thumbnail
images are displayed for ease of use. The Disc Navigator
is also where you can edit HDD and recordable DVD
content.
• Disc History
The Disc History screen shows disc information,
including how much free space remains for recording,
for the last 30 recordable discs loaded. Every time you
load a recordable disc, the Disc History is automatically
updated with the latest information.
• Easy Timer Recording
Setting the system to record a program is made simple
with the Easy Timer Recording screen. Set the channel to
record and the recording quality, then graphically set the
start and end times of the recording. That's it!
• Program up to 32 timer recordings
You can program the system to record up to 32 programs,
up to a month in advance, using the VIDEO Plus+
*
system for easy programming if you want. As well as
single programs, you can specify daily or weekly
recordings, too.
This system is also compatible with VPS/PDC systems,
which ensure you don't miss a timer recording, even if
the broadcast is not running to schedule.

• One Touch Recording
Use One Touch Recording to start recording immediately
in 30 minute blocks. Each time you press the ì REC
button, the recording time is extended by another 30
minutes.
• Optimized recording
Optimized recording adjusts the recording quality
automatically if a timer recording will not fit onto a disc
with the settings that you made.
• Auto Start Recording from satellite receiver or
other set top box
With a satellite receiver or other set top box connected to
the AV2(LINE 1/DECODER) inputs of this system, you
can start and stop recording automatically according to
the timer settings of the set top box.
• High quality 16-bit Linear PCM audio
When recording using one of the high quality record
settings (FINE or MN32), the audio is recorded in
uncompressed 16-bit Linear PCM format. This delivers
great sounding audio to accompany the high picture
quality.
• Picture quality adjustment features
During playback, you can adjust various picture quality
settings to improve the picture. You can also adjust the
recording picture quality. For example, if you want to
make a DVD copy of an old video tape, you can optimize
the picture quality before transferring it to disc.
• Find what you want to watch quickly and easily
Unlike video tape that needs to be wound to the correct
place, you can jump right to the part of a DVD disc or the
HDD that you want to watch. Search for a point on a disc
by title, chapter or time.
• Manual recording
In addition to the four preset recording quality modes
(FINE, SP, LP and EP), the manual recording mode allows
you to access 32 different recording quality/time settings,
giving you precise control over the recording.
®
• Record to and from a DV camcorder
The built-in DV (Digital Video) input/output jack is for
connection to a DV camcorder, making the system ideal
for transferring camcorder footage to DVD or HDD for
editing. You can also transfer DVD or HDD content back
to the camcorder if you need to.
• Safe, non-destructive editing
When you edit a DVD-RW, the actual content of the disc
(the Original content) is not touched. The edited version
(the Play List content) just points to various parts of the
Original content.
