Basic Playback - Pioneer DVR530 Operating Instructions Manual

04 Getting started
Switching between TV and DVD
When the recorder is stopped or recording you can
choose whether to have the audio/video from the built-in
TV tuner (or external input) play on your TV ('DVD mode'),
or watch the channel that the TV is currently set to ('TV
mode').
During playback or when a menu is being displayed on-
screen, the sound and video is always routed to your TV
and is unaffected by the TV/DVD mode setting.
Note that the recorder must be connected to your TV
using a SCART cable to be able to use this feature.
• Press TV/DVD to switch between TV mode and
DVD mode.
