Recording Modes 7 modes: XP, SP, LP, EP, SLP, SEP and Manual

The Recording Modes determine both the quality of the recording as well as the amount of 'space' that recording will take up on the Hard Disk or a DVD disc.

The higher the quality of the recording, the more 'space' it will need on the Hard Disk or DVD disc. The purpose of these modes is to give you flexibility in your recording - whether it's quality or quanity (in terms of number of hours) you're looking for.

These following recording modes come as standard on our DVD Recorders:

• XP: Fine: The highest quality setting, giving about 1 hour of recording time on a DVD disc.
• SP (Standard Play): Default quality, sufficient for most applications, giving about 2 hours of recording time on a DVD.
• LP (Long Play): Slightly lower video quality, but doubles the recording time on a DVD to around 4 hours.
• EP (Extended Play): Use when optimal recording time is most important; EP gives you around 6 hours of recording time on a DVD disc.
• SLP (Super Long Play): Use when maximum recording time is most important; SLP gives you around 8 hours of recording time on a DVD disc.
• SEP (Super Extended Play): Use when maximum recording time is most important , quality less important; SEP gives you around 10 hours of recording time on a DVD disc.
• Manual: Allows for personal settings.
TV Tuner Analogue
Electronic Programme Guide Analogue

The Electronic Programme Guide (GUIDE Plus+) is a user-friendly television programme listing which allows you to navigate through all the available TV channels on-screen. You can search programmes by time or category, and record them with the touch of a button.

GUIDE Plus is only available in selected regions. Check to see if your region is supported .
Digital Jukebox Yes

Rip your favourite CDs to the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) with the touch of a single button - and turn your Hard Disk Recorder into a true Digital Jukebox.

If the model has a USB input, you can even rip media files directly from your PC, Mac or USB storage device.

You can store up to 100 songs on 1 GB of storage space set aside specifically for your Digital Jukebox.

This means, for example, that a 160 GB HDD can hold more than 16 000 tracks*, for hours of your favourite digital music. It's the ideal source for a gigantic library of audio titles, including MP3 and WMA files.

* When recording 999 CDs, 99 tracks per CD.
Pause Live TV Yes

Freeze live TV and carry on watching it later - from the exact point you paused the action.

An example is when you are watching television and you are interrupted by the telephone. Simply push a single button on the system remote. The television screen freezes, and the DVD Recorder automatically begins recording.

You can then stay on the 'phone for as long as you want. Later, restart the programme at the point where you stopped it.
Chase Play Yes

This feature allows you to playback a programme, while it is still recording.
For example, if you tuned in too late, you can watch the programme from the beginning of the recording, skip through the replays and ad-breaks until you've caught up with real-time event, which is still recording, uninterrupted.
One Touch Recording Yes
High Speed Copy Yes
HDMI Interface Yes, 1080p scaling
KURO LINK Yes

Put simply, KURO LINK means that you are able to control basic functions of compatible Pioneer Audio/Visual devices* (such as your Blu-ray player, amplifier or DVD recorder), with your KURO flat-screen TV remote control.

Plug in and record. Put your camcorder videos on Hard Disk Drive or DVD discs.

Dubbing from digital sources to the Hard Disk Drive or DVD discs is a simple matter of connecting your camcorder to the DV IN connector on the front of the DVD recorder.

One Touch Recording Yes

This allows you to copy your Hard Disk Drive recordings directly to a DVD disc by pushing a single button.
ShowView Yes

ShowView (also known as Video Plus +) is a system of programming for your DVD recorder. The central concept of the system is a unique number assigned to each television program, and published in TV listings in newspapers and magazines in your country. To record a program, the number is taken from the newspaper and typed into the DVD recorder, which will then record on the correct channel at the correct time.
VPS/PDC Time Adjustment Yes/Yes

Our DVD Recorders are compatible with VPS (Video Programming System) and PDC (Programme Delivery Control) systems.

VPS and PDC systems are used by many analogue TV stations to ensure that a timer recording catches the whole programme even when the programme is not running to schedule.

This means that if you input the announced time and date of the programme that you want to record, and that programme happens to run late, for example, VPS and PDC will automatically correct the timed recording on your recorder.
G Code System Yes

Simply put, G-Link enables the DVD Recorder to record programmes from a satellite or cable television station.
Variable Bit Rate Recording Yes

Variable Bit Rate Recording means that the the DVD Recorder detects and records the source in variable bits.

The purpose is to use the right amount of space for recording. It is possible for the DVD Recorder to record in Fixed Bit Rate, but larger parts of memory would be unnecessarily used.
Linear PCM Recording Yes

Simply put, Linear PCM Recording delivers great sounding audio to accompany the high quality picture.

PCM stands for Pulse-Code Modulation and is a digital representation of an analogue signal. When recording using one of the high quality record settings (FINE or MN32), the audio is recorded in uncompressed 16-bit/48 kHz Linear PCM format, resulting in quality audio output.

Optimised Copy Yes (HDD to DVD)

You can choose to copy material at a different recording quality from the original.

For example, you might want to copy a FINE mode (highest quality) recording on the Hard Disk Drive to SP (standard play) quality on a DVD so that you can fit other recordings on the same disc.
Rate Conversion Copy Yes (HDD to DVD, DVD to HDD)
Disc Backup Yes

This feature offers a convenient way to backup important material from one DVD to another. The material is first copied from the DVD disc to the HDD, then on to a second DVD disc. While the contents of the original disc are temporarily stored in the HDD, they cannot be played nor edited. All contents and information from the original DVD disc are backed up without any quality loss.
During DVD disc backup, recording to the HDD or playback of other content from the HDD is possible.
Note: This feature only works with finalised DVD-R-DVD-RW discs recorded in 'Video Mode (DVD Video Mode)'.
Recovery Recording Yes

When a timer recording is set to use DVD but the disc loaded at the time of the recording is unrecordable, the program will automatically be recorded to the Hard Disk Drive.
HDD Sleep Mode Yes

HDD Sleep Mode allows you to essentially turn the hard disk off while you're watching a DVD or listening to a CD, to secure a true noise-less environment.

You'll notice that most hard disk drives make a small noise whilst running. If you're a true audiophile and want to focus all your attention on what's playing without interference, this feature will allow you to do 'put the HDD to sleep', so no additional noise is created.

The PC Video button (on remote control & main unit) transfers you directly to the last recorded DivX file.
MPEG-4-AAC Yes

MPEG4-AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) provides audio encoding that compresses much more efficiently than older formats, yet delivers quality rivaling that of uncompressed CD audio.

This codec is typically associated with the iTunes Music Store which uses AAC for playback on iPods.
PAL/NTSC Yes/Yes

With PAL/NTSC Dual Recording, you can record either PAL or NTSC format onto DVD discs.

PAL, short for Phase Alternating Line, is a colour encoding system used in broadcast television systems in large parts of the world.
