PRV-9000 Operating Instructions

1.1.2Recording

The following points summarize the recording functions.

Program up to 8 Timed Recordings

Program the PRV-9000 to record up to eight events, up to a month in advance, using the VCR+Plus system. In addition to recording single programs, you can specify daily or weekly recordings too.

One-Touch Recording

Use the one-touch recording feature to start a 30-minute recording block immediately. The recording time is extended another 30-minutes each time the one-touch button is pressed.

Disc Timer Recording (VR mode)

Instead of storing a timer program in the recorder’s memory, program a disc for a timed recording. The timer is automatically set when the disc is loaded. This is a great function for recording a regular weekly program on a single disc.

Optimized Recording (VR mode)

Optimized recording adjusts the playback quality/recording time automatically if a timer recording is too long for the available disc space.

High Quality 16-bit Linear PCM Audio

When using one of the high-quality settings in VR mode, the audio is recorded in the uncompressed 16-bit Linear PCM format. This format delivers clear audio to accompany the high picture quality.

Picture Quality Adjustments

During playback or recording, you can adjust various quality settings to improve the picture. For example, to copy an old video tape to DVD, optimize the picture quality before transferring it to disc.

Manual Level Recording (VR mode)

While the standard mode allows up to two hours of recording to a disc, using the manual mode allows the picture quality to be adjusted down to add recording time. There are a total of 32 recording rates with the lowest picture quality giving up to 8 hours of recording time per disc.

Auto-Recording from Satellite Receiver or Other Set-Top Systems Connecting a satellite receiver or a set-top box to the recorder’s Line 2/Auto Rec inputs provide automatic starts and stops synchronized to the timer settings on the receiver or the set-top box.

1.1.3Video Input/Output

The PRV-9000 has a built-in DV (Digital Video) input/output jack for directly connecting a digital video camera to the unit. Simply transfer the footage to the unit and edit your video. DVD content may also be transferred back to the DV camera.
