PRV-9000 Operating Instructions

V1 – maximum recording time of 60 minutes per disc

similar quality to Level 32 in the VR mode

V2 – maximum recording time of 120 minutes per disc similar recording time to the SP format in the VR mode

The following situations may affect recording times:

When recording with the V2 setting, minor artifacts may appear around fast-moving objects.

Before recording to a DVD-RW Video format disc, set the recorder to the Video mode.

Before recording in Video mode, set the Screen Size for Rec(ord) option.

4:3: standard television screen size

16:9: widescreen/movie screen size

When recording to a DVD-R disc, continue recording until it is full or finalize the disc at the end of the last recording session.

*Un-finalized DVD-R discs are incompatible with most existing players.

To increase the available recording time shown on the screen, erase the last title recorded on the disc. This action recalculates time displays.

Recordings are created in 30-second blocks. If the STOP button is pressed in the middle of a block, recording continues until the block is complete.

To record to a DVD-R disc, press the REC(ord) button twice. The first button press causes the PRV-9000 to enter record standby mode. The second press begins the recording session.

Note: To set the unit to record after a single REC(ord) button press, refer to

Chapter 9: INITIAL SETUP MENU, section 9.2.6 Start Rec on DVD-R.

Unless a title is the final title recorded to a DVD-RW disc, selecting Erase Title from the Title List menu merely hides the title.

4.8.3TV Audio-Channel Recording

The PRV-9000 can record one-channel (mono) or two-channel (stereo) audio from television broadcasts. This unit also supports the Secondary Audio Program (SAP) audio channel.

In Video mode, (or in VR mode on the Manual Level 32 setting), you can record either the main audio channel or the SAP audio.

If recording in VR mode but other than at Manual Level 32, the audio options are to capture the main audio only or to record the main audio and SAP audio
