About DVD recording
This recorder can record to DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R,
DVD+RW, DVD-RAM, DVD-R DL and DVD+R DL media.
DVD-R and DVD-RW discs can be initialized for Video
mode or VR mode recording. Each has its advantages,
and it depends on what you want to do with the recording
which mode you choose.
If you want to edit your recordings in any significant way,
VR mode offers greater possibilities for cutting, copying,
and changing the way the video is presented.
Video mode is less flexible when it comes to editing, but
it has the advantage that it is compatible with standard
DVD players (many of which won’t play VR mode discs 1 ).
Once a disc is initialized for a particular mode, all
recording on that disc will be in that mode.
DVD+RW discs can be initialized for +VR mode recording.
DVD-RAM discs can be initialized for VR mode recording.
DVD+R discs do not require initializing.
Important
• The table below shows the maximum number of titles
recordable per disc and the maximum number of
chapters per title:
*1 A maximum of 999 chapters are recordable per disc.
*2 A maximum of 254 chapters are recordable per disc.
• This recorder cannot play or record unfinalized DVD
-R/-RW (Video mode) and DVD+R discs recorded on
another recorder. DVD+RW discs recorded on
another recorder are playable on this recorder but are
not recordable.
• The maximum continuous recording time for one title
is eight hours when using a DVD+R/+RW disc.
• If you delete a title from a DVD+R/+RW disc, the
total number of recordable titles remaining may not
increase.
• Although this recorder can record PAL, SECAM,
NTSC and PAL-60, you can’t mix multiple TV line
systems on one disc. A disc can contain PAL and
SECAM recordings, or NTSC and PAL-60. See also
Additional information about the TV system settings
on page 146.
• Fingerprints, dirt and small scratches on a disc can
affect playback and/or recording performance.
Please take proper care of your discs.
• Pioneer takes no responsibility for recording failure
due to power cuts, defective discs, or damage to the
recorder.
• See also Disc/content format playback compatibility
on page 43 for detailed disc compatibility information.
Recording to DVD-R DL/DVD+R DL discs
Recording to DVD-R DL/DVD+R DL discs is generally the
same as recording to regular single-layer discs; however,
please note the following points:
• When the recorder switches from the first layer to the
second during recording a DVD-R DL (Video mode)
disc, a new title is automatically started on the new
layer.
• Up to 99 titles can be recorded on a DVD-R DL (Video
mode) disc. If the 99th title is being recorded when
the layer is switched, recording will stop.
• Up to 49 titles can be recorded on a DVD+R DL disc.
• You cannot play, record additional material to, edit or
finalize a DVD-R DL or DVD+R DL disc that has been
recorded on but not yet finalized on another DVD
recorder.
Note
1 Some DVD players, such as some Pioneer models, are compatible with VR mode discs. Check the operating instructions for your player for
VR mode compatibility information.
