that are recorded with a Line System different to the current recorder setting.

all the settings will be lost.
• Make sure that you switch the recorder into standby before unplugging the
power cord.
• If you connected this recorder to another Pioneer product using the CONTROL

• Replace the batteries (page 8).

turned up.

motion play. Press PLAY to resume regular playback.
• DTS discs can only be played if this recorder is connected to a DTS decoder or
DTS compatible amp/receiver. If you have connected a suitable decoder, also make
sure that the Initial Setup > Audio Out > DTS Out setting is On.

switch the input of your amp/receiver to analog.
• Check the audio cable connections (page 12).
• If the sound is distorted, try cleaning the cable plugs.

connect via this recorder. Connect the component directly to your TV.
