Using The Built-In Tv Tuner - Pioneer DVR-5100H Operating Instructions Manual

Getting started
4 Load a blank DVD-R or DVD-RW disc with the
label face-up, using the disc guide to align the disc.
• When you load a new, blank DVD-RW disc, the
recorder will take a moment to initialize it for
recording.
5 Use the CHANNEL +/– buttons on the remote
control or the SMART JOG on the front panel to
select the TV channel you want to record from.
• Channel presets are numbered 1–99.
• If the recorder is connected to your TV using a SCART
cable and your TV supports Direct Recording, you
can use this to very simply start recording the TV
channel you're currently watching. See Direct
recording from TV on page 50 for detailed instructions.
6 Press REC to start recording.
• By default, the recording will be in SP (standard play)
mode, which will give you around 2 hours of
recording from a blank DVD disc.
• You can pause recording by pressing
Press REC or PAUSE again to restart recording.
7 When you want to stop recording, press
STOP REC.
Playing back your recording
The TV program you just recorded should be on the HDD
or DVD disc as a single title with one or more chapters.
• Press PLAY to start playback.
If you want to stop playback before the end of the
recording, press STOP.
