Explanation/Action

There is no DV input or the input signal is unre- cordable.

Cannot preview because there is no DV input or the input signal is unrecordable.

No signal was detected at the DV input/output jack. This may appear if a blank section of DV tape is playing in the connected camcorder. (Applicable to DVR-520H/720H only.)

This channel’s TV system is different from the recorder’s setting.

Recording failed due to a TV system mismatch. Press DISPLAY to clear message.

Playback has stopped because the TV system is different than the recording.

The TV system (PAL, NTSC, etc.) of the current channel is different from the TV system settings of this recorder.

The timer recording failed because the TV system of the channel set for recording was different from the setting of the recorder.

During recording or timer recording standby, the TV System (PAL, NTSC, etc.) of the playback video changed, causing playback to stop automatically.

Handling discs

When holding discs of any type, take care not to leave fingerprints, dirt or scratches on the disc surface. Hold the disc by its edge or by the center hole and edge.

Damaged or dirty discs can affect playback and recording performance. Take care also not to scratch the label side of the disc. Although not as fragile as the recorded side, scratches can still result in a disc becoming unusable.

For more detailed care information see the instructions that come with discs.

Do not load more than one disc into the recorder.

Should a disc become marked with fingerprints, dust, etc., clean using a soft, dry cloth, wiping the disc lightly from the center to the outside edge as shown in the diagram below.

If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or a commercially available CD/DVD cleaning kit to clean a disc more thoroughly. Never use benzine, thinner or other cleaning agents, including products designed for cleaning vinyl records.

Damaged discs

Discs spin at high speed inside the recorder. If you can see that a disc is cracked, chipped, warped, or otherwise damaged, don't risk using it; you could end up damaging the recorder.

This recorder is designed for use with conventional, fully circular discs only. Use of shaped discs is not recommended for this product. Pioneer disclaims all liability arising in connection with the use of shaped discs.

Storing discs

Although CDs and DVD discs are more durable than vinyl records, you should still take care to handle and store discs correctly. When you're not using a disc, return it to its case and store upright. Avoid leaving discs in excessively cold, humid, or hot environments (including under direct sunlight).

Don't glue paper or put stickers onto the disc, or use a pencil, ball-point pen or other sharp-tipped writing instrument. These could all damage the disc.
