Silly question I suppose, but have you called customer service? If
nothing else, it should be reported if the recorder came back from
the repair center needing additional work.

The 640, which I have, is quite similar. The manual says, under
"Resetting the Recorder":
1. Turn on the recorder.
2. Press and hold STOP on the recorder (not the remote).
3. Press STANDBY/ON on the recorder (not the remote).
4. Wait a second or two, then release both buttons.

I'll bet the above works on the 533 as well, but you could always
look in the manual under "Resettng the Recorder". :-)

If you don't have your manual, you can download a copy from

You might want to do that in any event, since the indexes suck in
Pioneer DVDR manuals, and with a downloaded copy you can search the
text.

By the bye, AVS Forum at
http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/forumdisplay.php?f=106
has lots of very good peer help on Pioneer and other recorders. It's
even possible that your question about timer recordings was answered
there already.
