Disc history
Disc information on up to 30 discs is stored in the memory of DVD recorder.
Without inserting a disc each disc’s status and contents can be seen on GUI by
pushing only one key.

Easy timer recording
This is an optimal setup method for time block programming.
The setup is completed by marking time segments using only the cursor key
without entering the number.

Advanced Disc Navigator
A selected title in the Disc Navigator shown with full motion pictures.
This makes it easy to search the specific disc contents.
Full Motion picture

Chapter editing
A selected scene in the Chapter Edit shown with full motion pictures.
This makes it easy to search and edit the specific contents.

DV terminal (IN/OUT)
The DV input is connectable via i.LINK.
The contents can be edited digitally and can be controlled by remote
controller.
This allows consumers to create their own DVD.
A chapter marker is inserted automatically every time there is break in the time
code on the DV tape. This happens when the recording is stopped or paused then
restarted.

Other Convenient features(Video mode)
Undo Finalize
On DVD-RW discs recorded in “Video” mode You can add more contents even after the disc was
finalized with [Undo Finalize] feature.
When finalizing a “Video” mode disc, a menu with still pictures is created on the disc.
Title menu with thumbnail
Wall paper samples of title menu
The DVR-210/310-S allow you to select a wall paper from nine patterns.

Overall Block Diagram
The new Pioneer design DVDR/RW recorders incorporate the R-6 drive
with a single AV signal processing chip. (IC1001 M65672WG) This chip
performs the following functions:3-D Y/C separation, Video decoding,
Frame TBC, MPEG video encoding, Dolby digital consumer encoding,
ATA/ATAPI I/F (2 ch), Main CPU, On screen display, MPEG video
decoding, Audio decoding, Video encoding, Progressive conversion, Audio
interface and 3-D DNR for playback.
Basic A/V inputs and outputs for IC1001 come from the TUMJ assy (Tuner
and multi jack assy).
SDRAM’s connected to IC1001 provide processing memory support.
ATA/ATAPI, Encoder, Decoder, CPU and Backup SDRAM’s.
One Flash Rom is also connected for program run information and future
upgrading.

Signal Flow
(Record Tuner/Line)
In the TUJM assy the Control CPU will direct the Input selector to send the
selected A/V input signal or Tuner Station signal to the main A/V
processing IC. When selecting the tuner to record you must also select (L,R)
or (mono+SAP) as your audio record source.
IC1001 will MPEG encode the selected signals and pass them on to the
Drive assy for disc recording.
IC1001 also outputs the A/V signals for monitoring as (Y/C, Y/CB/CR, S or
composite) back to the TUMJ assy. Audio will be Analog R/L or Digital out.
