PRV-9000 Operating Instructions
1INTRODUCTION
The Pioneer PRV-9000 Pro DVD-Video Recorder is a stand-alone set-top unit that can make DVD-Video discs with the press of a single button and creates the disc in real time. Anyone familiar with the operating of a VCR can easily operate the PRV-9000, making the creation of compatible DVD-Video discs as quick and easy as recording videotape. Recordings are made using either write-once DVD-R or re-recordable DVD-RW discs that are compatible with most DVD-Video players and DVD-ROM drives.* In DVD-Video mode, maximum program capacity is either one hour or two hours per disc, and up to 99 separate video segments (titles) can be recorded. The PRV-9000 Pro DVD-Video Recorder can automatically generate a DVD title menu that can be used to access any recorded title on a DVD-R compatible DVD-Video player similar to how movie titles are used. Analog and digital A/V inputs allow easy connection to both legacy and current video sources. The recorder outputs include component, Y/C and composite video signals. The unit can also play DVD-Video discs (read-only), DVD-R and DVD-RW media, as well as CD-Audio and Video CD discs(read-only), CD-R and CD-RW media.
*Note: DVD-R media is compatible with most DVD-Video players and DVD-ROM drives. DVD-RW media is also compatible with many players and drives when using DVD-Video mode. In either case, users should confirm playback compatibility with the target player model or computer system prior to purchase.
1.1Features
1.1.1Playback
The following points summarize playback features.
Progressive Scan Compatible
Compared to standard interlaced video, progressive scan effectively doubles the amount of video information fed to your television or monitor. The result is a stable, flicker-free image.
Note: Check with the monitor manufacturer for Progressive Scan compatibility.
Cinema Surround Sound
Connect the PRV-9000 to a Dolby Digital-compatible amplifier/receiver to enjoy full surround sound effects from DVD discs with Dolby Digital.
Search Functionality
Unlike video tape that needs to be wound to the correct place, you can jump to the right part of the DVD disc. Search to a title, a chapter or to a specific time on a disc.
Disc Navigator (VR mode)
Use the Discnavi (Disc Navigator) to find your way around and edit a disc. This feature displays a still frame (picture) from each title, or an image from a chapter within a title, as a visual reminder of that portion of the disc contents.
