160GB Hard Disk Drive

Don't worry for capacity! Record your favorite program in the HDD that can store up to 445 hours of programming.

NTSC, Standard PAL, PAL-60, SECAM Compatible

Pioneer DVR-630 is a multi-system DVD recorder. You can record in Standard PAL, PAL-60, SECAM, or NTSC. You can also play video content on a NTSC, PAL or a SECAM television, as well as NTSC content on a PAL television.

Recording Convenience

This DVD recorder provides you some unique features such as optimized recording (adjust recording quality to fit recording in a disc), super high quality HDD recording, 16-bit linear PCM audio recording and picture quality adjustment during playback. If you try to record on a unrecordable disc, your desired program will be recorded in HDD. You can't record, however, copy-protected video on this DVD recorder.

Preset Recording Quality Setting

Pioneer DVR-630 provides you six preset recording quality setting such as XP, SP, LP, EP, SLP and SEP. Depending on your choice, this feature allows you to extend recording time for both hard disk and DVD discs. For example, if you choose SEP instead of XP, you can extend recording time by a considerable amount. XP is the high-quality setting for recording. For HDD, you can also record in super high-quality XP+ mode.

Chase Play

You won't miss the first part of a TV program any more! Using the timer recording, this feature allows you to record programs ahead of your availability. It then allows you to play back the missed part while recording the next segment of the program.

Simultaneous Recording and Playback

Record at the same time to HDD/recordable DVD when you playback and watch another video program from the HDD or from the same DVD.

Disc Navigator

Experience the convenience of the Disc Navigator! You now have easy access to the contents of HDD or the disc. Disc navigator uses moving thumbnails that also helps you for editing.

Progressive Scan Component Video Output

Use DVR-630's component-video output to feed high-quality video signal to your TV. If your TV supports stable and flicker-free progressive scan feature, image quality is further enhanced due to higher resolution (compared to interlaced video).

One Touch Recording and Copying

Use this feature to start recording immediately. For convenience, press One Touch Copy Button to perform copying a title from a HDD to a DVD or from DVD to HDD. Also copy your recordings in high-speed or in real-time (at different recording quality, for example, to save disc space) or even with copy-once protected feature.
