Thanks Henry for your feedback. It's good to learn about holding down
the Standby/On button as I must have missed seeing it in the manual.
I also used a lot of DVD-RW's to backup the hard drive as the drive as
nearly full when it crashed.
One thing you might be interested in....
When adding videos to the copy list, there is a feature that allows
you to join up videos that are in the copy list. This is useful if you
collect short video clips of news items etc off TV and want to join
them as one video.
When the Pioneer DVD recorder has written the video chips to a DVD as
one video the first character or each video clip is missing.
The only advantage of having the first chapter missing was if you had
a few frames of the program title at the start of the video clip as an
chapter then it would copy the video clips and not include the titles.
If you don't have any chapters in a video clip then the video clip is
not copied. The only way around that is to create a fake chapter one
or two frames from the start of the video clip that is to be joined to
other video clips.
Regards Brian
