Recording time and picture quality 

 

There are six preset recording quality modes

 

1

 

:

 

XP

 

 – High quality setting, gives about one hour of 

recording time on a DVD disc.

 

SP

 

 (Standard Play) – Default quality, used for most 

applications, gives about two hours of recording time 
on a DVD.

 

LP

 

 (Long Play) – Lower video quality than SP, but 

doubles the recording time on a DVD to about four 
hours.

 

EP

 

 (Extended Play) – Lower quality than LP, but gives 

about six hours of recording time on a DVD disc.

 

SLP

 

 (Super Long Play) – Lower quality than EP, but 

gives about eight hours of recording time on a DVD 
disc.

 

SEP

 

 (Super Extended Play) – Lowest video quality but 

gives about ten hours of recording time on a DVD 
disc.

Please note that there is a trade-off between recording 
time and quality. The longer the possible recording time, 
the lower the recorded picture quality.

In addition to these settings, when Manual Recording is 
On (see 

 

Manual Recording

 

 on page 113) you can access 

32 different recording quality/time settings (

 

MN1

 

 

MN32

 

), a high-quality audio mode (

 

LPCM

 

), and a super-

high quality (data transfer rate of around 15 Mbps) HDD 
recording mode (

 

XP+

 

).

When setting a timer recording there is a further option, 

 

AUTO

 

, which maximizes the recording quality for the 

space available on the disc loaded at the time of 
recording. (If recording to the HDD, the recording quality 
is maximized to fit on to a DVD disc.)

 

Recorded audio

 

In all except the 

 

LPCM

 

 mode, sound is recorded in two 

channel Dolby Digital format. When set to 

 

LPCM

 

, sound 

is recorded in high quality, uncompressed Linear PCM 
format.

If the broadcast audio is bilingual and you are recording 
in Video mode or to the HDD with the HDD Recording 
Format set to Video Mode On, or on the 

 

LPCM

 

 setting, 

use the Bilingual Recording setting (page 111) to select 
the 

 

A/L

 

 or 

 

B/R

 

 audio channel to record before recording 

starts. In other cases, both channels of a bilingual 
broadcast will be recorded and you can switch on 
playback.

 

Restrictions on video recording

 

You cannot record copy-protected video using this 
recorder. Copy-protected video includes DVD-Video discs 
and some satellite broadcasts. If copy-protected material 
is encountered during a recording, recording will pause 
automatically and an error message will be displayed on-
screen.

Video that is ‘copy-once only’ can only be recorded on the 
HDD or in VR mode (see below).

When recording a TV broadcast or through an external 
input, you can display copy control information on 
screen. (see 

 

Displaying disc information on-screen

 

 on 

page 36). 

 

CPRM

 

CPRM is a copy protection/scrambling system developed 
for the recording of ‘copy once’ broadcast programs. 
CPRM stands for 

 

Content Protection for Recordable 

Media

 

.

This recorder is CPRM compatible, which means that 
you can record copy-once broadcast programs, but you 
cannot then make a copy of those recordings. CPRM 
recordings can only be made on CPRM-compatible 
DVD-R (ver. 2.0/8x or higher) or DVD-RW (ver. 1.1 or 
higher) discs formatted in VR mode or on the HDD.

DVD CPRM recordings can only be played on players that 
are specifically compatible with CPRM.

 

Recording equipment and copyright

 

Recording equipment should be used only for lawful 
copying and you are advised to check carefully what is 
lawful copying in the country in which you are making a 
copy. Copying of copyright material such as films or 
music is unlawful unless permitted by a legal exception 
or consented to by the rightowners.

• This product incorporates copyright protection 

technology that is protected by method claims of 
certain U.S. patents and other intellectual property

Note

 

1.All recording times (both in this manual and those shown by the recorder) are approximate. This is because of the way that the video is re-

corded; you may get slightly more or slightly less, depending on what you’re recording.

Timer recording FAQ

 

 Frequently Asked Questions

 

• Even though the timer is set, the recorder doesn’t start 

recording!

 

Check that the disc loaded or HDD is recordable, not 
locked (see 

 

Lock Disc

 

 on page 104), and that there are 

fewer than 99/999 titles already on the DVD/HDD.

 

• The recorder won’t let me enter a timer program! Why 

not?

 

You can’t enter a timer program if the clock isn’t set.

 

• What happens when two or more timer programs 

overlap?

 

Basically, the program with the earlier recording start 
time has priority. However, the recorder will start 
recording the program with the later start time after 
the earlier program is finished. If two programs have 
the same times (but different channels, for example), 
the program set most recently takes priority.

If VPS/PDC is active for two timer programs that are 
programmed to start at the same time, then the 
program that actually starts first takes priority.

 

Simultaneous recording and 
playback

 

 

A feature called Chase Play makes it possible to watch a 
recording in progress (DVD or HDD) from the start of the 
recording (as in, playback is ‘chasing’ the recording). For 
example, perhaps you have to miss the first 30 minutes of 
a movie on TV; you can start recording, then start 
watching the movie, from the beginning, while the 
recorder is still recording 30 minutes ahead of you.

In fact, you’re not just limited to watching the recording 
in progress; you can watch anything else already on the 
DVD or HDD by selecting it from the Disc Navigator 
screen (see 

 

Using the Disc Navigator with recordable 

discs and the HDD

 

 on page 62).

 

 Important

 

• Note that you must use a DVD-RW Ver. 1.1 / 2x or 

Ver. 1.2 disc to be able to use this feature.

• You may not be able to use this feature with a 

DVD-RW disc that was first initialized on another 
recorder.

• Chase playback is not possible using a VR mode 

DVD-R disc.

 

During recording, press 

 

 

 PLAY to start playback 

from the beginning of the current recording

 

1

 

, or 

press DISC NAVIGATOR and select another title to 
play from there.

 

You can use all the usual playback controls, such as 

pause, slow-motion play, scan

 

2

 

 and skip.

• To stop playback, press 

 

 

 STOP

 

 (recording will 

continue).

• To stop recording, press 

 

 

 STOP REC

 

 (playback will 

continue).

• During recording or in timer recording standby, you 

can’t play an HDD title, DVD or Video CD/Super VCD 
disc if the Input Line System setting doesn’t match 
the TV line system of the disc/HDD title (see also 

 

Additional information about the TV system settings

 

 

on page 116). Also, during simultaneous recording 
and playback, if the TV line system of the playback 
track/title changes then playback will automatically 
stop.

VR mode

HDD

Note

 

1.You can’t start playback immediately after recording starts. Simultaneous playback and recording doesn’t work while copying or backing up.
2.When scanning a DVD, no sound is output if the recorder is also recording the DVD (see 

 

Scanning discs

 

 on page 64).

Finalizing a disc

 

 

Finalizing ‘fixes’ the recordings in place so that the disc 
can be played on a regular DVD player or computer 

equipped with a suitable DVD-ROM drive.

 

1

 

Note that the disc name will appear in the title menu after 
you finalize a disc. Make sure the disc name is as you 
want it before you finalize the disc as it can’t be changed 
afterwards. If you want to rename the disc, see 

 

Input Disc 

Name

 

 on page 104 before starting the steps below.

 

 Important

 

• Once you’ve finalized a disc recorded in Video mode, 

you can’t edit or record anything else on that disc. 
However, the finalization on a DVD-RW disc maybe 
‘undone’; see 

 

Undo Finalize

 

 on page 105 for how to do 

this.

• A VR mode disc can still be recorded and edited on 

this recorder even after finalizing.

 

1

Load the disc you want to finalize.

 

Make sure that the recorder is stopped before 
proceeding.

 

2

Press HOME MENU and select ‘Disc Setup’.

3

Select ‘Finalize’.

4

Select ‘Finalize’ from the finalize options, then 

‘Next Screen’.

5

For Video mode discs only, select a title menu 

style, then select ‘Yes’ to start finalization or ‘No’ to 
cancel.

 

The menu you select will be the one that appears when 
the ‘top menu’ is selected on any DVD player.

• Discs recorded partially or fully on the Pioneer 

DVR-7000 DVD recorder do not support this feature. 
These discs will have only a text title menu when 
finalized on this recorder.

 

6

The recorder will now start finalizing the disc.

 

During finalization:

• If the finalization process of a DVD-RW disc is going 

to take more than around four minutes, you can 
press 

 

ENTER

 

 to cancel. Around four minutes before 

completion, the option to cancel disappears.

• You can’t cancel the finalization of a VR mode DVD-R 

disc.

• How long finalization takes depends on the type of 

disc, how much is recorded on the disc and the 
number of titles on the disc. A disc recorded in VR 
mode can take up to one hour to finalize. A disc 
recorded in Video mode can take up to 20 minutes.

Note

 

1.If the TV line system of the disc is different to the current setting of the recorder, you will not be able to finalize the disc. See 

 

Additional infor-

mation about the TV system settings

 

 on page 116 for how to change the recorder’s setting.
