Easy Timer Recording
With the DVR-510H-S and DVR-310-S, timer-setting operations can be easy
and error-free thanks to the Easy Timer Recording function. It lets you set
start and end of recording times just by moving the cursor back and forth on
the time-grid graphics with the remote control, which saves the trouble of
having to enter a number for each digit. Channel and recording mode can
be set just as easily on the same screen.
The Pioneer DVD recorders allow timer recording of up to 32
programs and may be preset up to one month in advance.
VR MODE DVD-RW
Advanced Disc Navigator
One of the main advantages of HDD and DVD is quick, easy playback of a
desired program with no need for fast-forwarding or rewinding. The DVR-
510H-S and DVR-310-S enhance this convenience with the Advanced Disc
Navigator, which shows you a list of program titles recorded on HDD or on
the loaded disc. And when you select one with the cursor, an animated
thumbnail picture is displayed on the screen with audio, making it easy to
recognize the program contents.
*Not available with finalized discs.
Simultaneous Playback and Recording /
"Chase Play" Function
The DVR-510H-S and DVR-310-S are the industry's first DVD recorders that
enable simultaneous playback and recording with DVD-RW discs*. They let
you watch any program recorded on a disc while that same disc is
recording another program. Moreover, "Chase Play" makes it possible to
play back and watch a currently recorded program from the beginning
without halting the recording.
The DVR-510H-S also lets you record a program on HDD while
playing back another from a DVD-R/DVD-RW disc, or vice versa.
*DVD-RW Ver. 1.1/2X discs (VR mode) only.
Manual Recording
With the Pioneer DVD recorders, you can flexibly change the recording time
according to the length of program, remaining space on the disc and/or
the picture quality you desire. In addition to the four preset modes—FINE,
SP, LP and EP—, the Pioneer DVD recorders allow as many as 32 recording
lengths ranging from 1 to 6 hours for DVD-R/DVD-RW discs, and 17 to 102
hours in case you record on HDD.
Editing Titles and Chapters by Playlist
Using the Advanced Disc Navigator menu and Chapter edit menu, you can
edit by title, change title names, erase or join chapters, and do other basic
functions with utmost ease. The DVR-510H-S and DVR-310-S allow non-
destructive editing. This means when you are editing recorded footage (for
example, cutting, splicing and punching in), you are in fact editing the
playlist, not replacing or deleting any recording. The original still exists: you
can redo any editing as many times as you like.
Undoing Finalization
The Pioneer DVD recorders allow you to "undo" the finalization, so that you
can record additional programs on a DVD-RW disc without initializing the
disc again and without wasting the remaining space of each disc.
VIDEO MODE DVD-RW
Disc History
The Disc History screen shows you available recording space for the last 30
loaded discs, along with disc names, names of the first three programs and
the number of programs recorded on each disc. You can easily check the
remaining recording time and the type of programs recorded on each disc.
The Disc History information is automatically updated every time you
load a recordable disc.
DV Connection via i.LINK (IEEE 1394) Terminal
DV-to-DVD dubbing is easier than ever. The Pioneer DVD
Recorders come with i.LINK (IEEE 1394) input/output
terminal, which allows direct connection with a DV
camcoder.
Note: "i.LINK" and the are trademarks of Sony Corporation.
G-Code Recording
You can complete setting the recording timer just by entering program-
specific code numbers, which are listed on TV-guide pages of newspapers
or magazines.
Smart Jog on the Front Panel
In conjunction with a function key, a single jog allows
an array of functions, including channel up-down,
recording mode setup, chapter/track skip, fast forward
and reverse, slow and frame advance and reverse.
Easy Recording Operation
The DVR-510H-S and DVR-310-S feature instant one-touch
recording, which frees you from having to locate the blank
space on the disc. Just load a disc, and the Pioneer DVD
recorders automatically searches for recorded content and
available space for additional recording. Of course, you
can enjoy the same convenience when recording on HDD.

PhotoViewer (JPEG Playback)
The Pioneer DVD recorders come with the
PhotoViewer function that allows playback of JPEG
files—digital still images on Fujicolor CDs and Kodak
Picture CDs. Photos you have taken with a digital camera—such as family
shots and travel photos—can be displayed enlarged on a TV screen, letting
you have a good time with your family and friends. * *
