Pioneer has made a name for itself in the audio/visual arena for producing quality and reliable products. It has not failed to do the same for this product, but at the cost of many restrictions to provide ultimate stability. Features as highlighted in the official website. Maximum 2. 27 hours Recording (HDD: MN1) (Yep, that's using the lowest quality settings)NOTE: This is from the 8. GB version. Both are similar except for this attribute. Maximum 1. 00x copy from HDD to DVD- R (The other way round is 1x, if you are wondering). Advanced Variable Bit Rate Recording for Optimum Picture Quality (but you cannot adjust resolution).
USB and i. LINK (DV) terminal (But there's a hidden filter to only show/play only JPG files in USB drives) NOTE: Some countries' models don't have USB support. Disc Backup (Dual- Layer to Single Layer? Nope. DVD to VCD?
Nope). 1. 5x Quick View. PAL/NTSC Pure. Cinema Progressive Scan. Advanced Disc Navigator (What is advanced about it?). HELP Function. Digital Jukebox (Don't ever expect it to be like Musicmatch Jukebox, it is less than 2. The Good Things Powering up the unit, the Initial Setup Wizard automatically fired up. At this screen, the clock settings, PAL/NTSC selection, Power Saving Setup and TV channel setup among the various things. The Home Menu - where it leads to most of the recorder functions (Notice Pioneer is not mentioned anywhere) The Timer Recording is amazing!
Pioneer must have done extensive testing on its timer feature. It allows up to 3. What's more - I set a timer to record daily from 2. One Slot only! I was under the impression that it will consider it 3. The Timer recording is good! Really good! Did I mention that it was very user friendly? To instantly record a show, hit the REC button.
To quick set a timer, simply hit the REC button again and it will step up in 3. When recording this way, you can hit the Pause button on the remote to temporarily pause recording - useful to cut out ads, although you can also cut out ads manually after recording. Just hit the REC button to start recording! How simple can it get? Want to make a copy of your birthday or wedding video for someone?
No problem - just use the High speed copy feature. The feature copies all the files digitally to the hard disk and burns at high speed to a DVD- R or DVD- RW. It even allows you to burn multiple copies of a single DVD. In addition, if you are copying a DVD or recording a TV Show, you can still play movies from the DVD/hard drive with no lag at all! Talk about multi- tasking!
Note that you can not play a DVD when it is being copied at high speed as a DVD does not have random read access like a HDD. Copying(Disc Back- up) is done in the background and you can still play HDD recorded videos! The unit comes with 2 USB ports.
With it, you can connect your camera to quickly showcase your photos in the living room. Want to print them? No problem - copy the photos to the unit's HDD, connect a Pict. Bridge compatible printer to the unit and print away!
Almost like a computer desktop. What's more, you can connect an external keyboard to the unit and use it to type titles, although I can not think of a worthwhile reason to do that. And what's even more - connect a card reader and instantly turn it into a Card Reader.
This way, you can read your taken photos from any memory card. Title names can be entered for your recordings and it supports Nokia style keypad entry for easy text entry! Enter titles quickly without moving the selection to each letter and entering manually. The remote comes with a thoughtful feature of controlling your TV's volume, channel and input source.
This is useful as you only need one remote control to control volume and not hang on to two at the same time. It supports many TVs, including Toshiba, Panasonic and Sony.
The unit comes with a easy to use video editor. Using it, you can erase sections of a recorded video (for example, to remove ads).
Pioneer has been considerate to provide two modes of editing so that you can burn DVDs compatible with most (if not all) DVD players. What a wealth of edit options!
It even has Lock functions to prevent accidental erasure! You can also burn recordings into DVD- R or DVD- RW. This is done in high speed and it is really fast. Using a Copy List, you can select multiple recordings and even create a static menu to showcase them. Not only that, you can set chapters in your recordings which can be added to the DVD menus too. The Bad Things (Or, Restrictions.) The major bad thing about this recorder: It does not support Simultaneous Multi- System playback. While the unit can play NTSC/PAL DVD and you can watch PAL/NTSC TV channels, you cannot record and play different TV systems at the same time.
This means that when you are recording a PAL TV Show (the free- to- air television standard used in Singapore), you cannot play any NTSC DVD titles which most DVD movies use. Pioneer is from Japan, where they use NTSC. Probably they were thinking that it is a minor flaw since they have not been in our shoes.
I found myself unable to watch movies when recording as it is all in NTSC format. Big mistake Pioneer, Big mistake. You basically can't play any DVD movies when recording TV Shows because the unit can't handle two different TV systems (NTSC and PAL) at once. Next, you can not copy whole non- copyrighted DVD tracks (read: only selected tracks - useful if you want to strip out ads/trailers) at high speed (realtime is possible) to the hard drive for later viewing. First, you can only copy a title. That's all right, we are only after a movie (not the commentary or trailers). However, the videos are copied to the hard drive in real time (1.
X) and re- encoded to the recording quality you chose (XP, SP, LP, etc). You cannot copy the whole VIDEO_TS/VOBs files to the HDD, Nada, Pioneer wants you to play the whole movie, re encode it (lowering the quality) and play from your hard drive. What's more, while this is done, multi- tasking is effectively disabled - you can't watch any recorded videos or do anything else. One advantage of this, though, is that the copied track can take less space depending on recording quality chosen. OK then, fine. So I decide to copy a NTSC DVD title to the HDD using the stone age way. I play the DVD, set to play Movie and hit the One Touch Copy button. Out came another violet box: Error!
DVD TV System (NTSC) not compatible with current DVD TV Tuner System (PAL)! To fix this, I had to access Initial Setup and change my TV System to NTSC.
This shot another error message saying that the TV Tuner System is not compatible with NTSC and outright refused to show the TV signal. The unit could just try to decode it even though it is a different TV System - but it doesn't. My Toshiba TV can show the PAL signal as NTSC with some colour information loss, but it still shows the video. What? - I can't copy a DVD title unless I change my TV Tuner standard to NTSC?
OK, our aim was to proceed with the One Touch Copy getting past all hurdles - and it finally complied. I played the title and hit the One touch Copy button. The title restarted from the beginning and I had no control over where to stop and can not pause it. Once I tried stopping it, the whole title was not recorded in the HDD - the unit demands that you play through the entire title to record to HDD. Multi- tasking is disabled - you can't watch any recorded clips. You cannot record sections of a title to the hard drive - but you can erase sections that you don't want after recording.
So every time I need to copy NTSC DVD Title, I have to access Initial Setup to set TV Standard to NTSC - a process that was supposed to be one- time, and wait for the whole title to finish recording, up to 3hrs per DVD. Dreaming of using this to convert old VHS tapes to DVDs? Well, dream on. I have some very old VHS tapes, which output decent quality images but have some damaged parts. So I tried to connect up my VHS player to this recorder and record from Line In. What happened was that the unit started shooting "TV System is not compatible with this recorder" errors for the damaged parts where video is still supposed to be visible with minor defects. It refused to record.
Make friends with this screen - you'll see it whenever you encounter bad quality video, or attempt to do a DVD title copy to hard drive. Eventually, I managed to get to a clean sable part of the tape where the video started showing through. Immediately I hit the Record button and let it record for a full hour and played it back. What I got was a very bad video - frozen frames, unsynchronised sounds and video fit for the junkyard! Remember, the keyword here is old - I am sure that with tapes that are kept in good conditions, this will not be a problem. This problem also occurs if the RF (TV Tuner) signal is weak. Even though this unit featured a "Nokia Style" Title keypad entry, it wasn't really like that.
For example, you would expect "zero" to enter a space (it is actually the pause key, thanks Imitator). Nope. Likewise, you would expect "hex" to change case - Nope. All these functions have to be accessed manually by moving the selection across many buttons. Digital Media Jukebox?
Right - so I expect basic functions like copy Mp. HDD and rip audio CD to mp. Like Musicmatch Jukebox.
Nope, both are not there. The unit can play Mp. CD but can not copy them to HDD.
