Explanation/Action
When you load a blank DVD-RW or DVD+RW disc, the recorder
automatically initializes it.
The disc loaded has an incompatible region number for the recorder and
so will not play.
The disc control data limit has been reached, or the maximum number of
chapters and/or titles has been reached. Erase titles/chapters or
combine chapters.
The disc was finalized on a non-Pioneer DVD recorder. Undo the
finalization in order to recording/editing.
The disc may be dirty or damaged. Take out the disc, clean it and retry. If
the error persists, use a new disc. If the error appears even with a new
disc, please consult a Pioneer Service Center.
The disc loaded is a playback-only disc type. This display may also appear
if the disc is dirty or damaged.
The video source is copy-once protected. Use a VR mode DVD-R/-RW
disc with CPRM for recording.
The video source is copy-protected and cannot be recorded.
The recorder could not read the CPRM information. The recorder may be
damaged—please consult a Pioneer Service Center.
During recording, the power was cut. This display appears when the
power is restored.
The recorder was unable to repair the disc after a power cut. The
contents of the recording will be lost.
The internal temperature of the recorder has exceeded the operating
limit. If this message reappears, please contact a Pioneer authorized
service center.
No signal was detected at the DV IN jack. This may appear if a blank
section of DV tape is playing in the connected camcorder.
The HDD should be optimized (basically, HDD housekeeping) to
maintain playback and recording performance.
