The amazing
DVR-810H is a videophile’s dream: TiVo service, an 80GB hard drive,
next-generation viewing and recording features... and the list
continues. This machine will forever change how you find, watch, and
record video.
TiVo Service: The DVR-810H comes with
the revolutionary TiVo BasicTM Service included, with no startup cost or
monthly fees. Pioneer is the world’s first company to offer this
powerful combination. Setup is very simple, and finding and scheduling
your favorite shows is a breeze.
80GB Hard Drive: With the built-in 80GB
hard drive you can record up to 80 hours of material—off the air, cable,
or satellite, or your home movies—for short-term storage and viewing.
You can actually control live TV: pause it, reverse it, play it in slow
motion. You can even watch a recorded program from the beginning, while
the recorder simultaneously finishes the recording. With the DVR-810H,
there’s just no going back to the old way of watching TV.
DVD Recording: And those shows and
other content you want to keep for a longer period of time? Burn them
onto a DVD-R (permanent; can’t be erased) or DVD–RW (can be
erased/written over many times). The DVR-810H features up to 18x record
speed, so you’ll be able to dub a 1-hour program to DVD in basic EP
quality mode in just over 3 minutes. (DVR Version 2.0 4X Media.) You can
even record content to the hard drive while dubbing different content
from the hard drive to a DVD. It’s fast and easy, and the content
remains in a digital state throughout, so the quality level is very
high.
Sophisticated Video Circuitry: The
DVR-810H features PureCinema 2:3 Progressive Scan for a more film-like
presentation when watching movies; a 9-bit/27MHz video DAC for a truly
superior picture; Faroudja Directional Correlation De-interlacing, or
DCDi™, for a smoother, more natural picture; and a sophisticated noise
reduction circuit which can achieve an amazing 6-10dB of noise
reduction.
Superior Audio Features: The DVR-810H
also features Dolby Digital and DTS Digital surround sound outputs, plus
CD and MP3 compatibility. |

DVD Features
|
|
|
The Pioneer
DVR-810H can record on both DVD-R (record once) and DVD-RW (rewritable)
discs. Only programs in the Now Playing list can be copied to a DVD. The
Now Playing list can contain content recorded from live TV or from a
component connected to the A/V inputs. The Now Playing list is stored on
the internal 80GB hard drive. After the content has been copied to the
hard drive, it can be transferred to a DVD. The DVR-810H features up to
18x record speed (when using a 4X blank disc), so you'll be able to dub
a 1-hour program to DVD in basic EP quality mode in just over 3 minutes.
Note: You cannot record copy-protected video including DVD-Video discs
and some satellite broadcasts. |
|
|
This unit uses a
27MHz/9-bit video digital-to-analog converter. |
- Progressive Scan Output with
Faroudja's DCDi:
|
This unit has a
progressive scan output featuring Faroudja's patented Directional
Correlational Deinterlacing (DCDi). This technology applies new motion
adaptive deinterlacing that prevents the introduction of motion
artifacts and jagged edges from video signals that originated from video
cameras (such as with sporting events, live camera feeds and music
videos). The result is a sharper, noise-free picture with finer details.
Video images are displayed with optimum naturalness and color
reproduction with less flicker and fewer motion artifacts than
traditional interlaced scanned pictures. |
|
|
The DVR-810H has
a 96kHz/24-bit audio digital-to-analog converter for superb audio
reproduction. |
- Digital Audio Output
Capabilities:
|
You can select a
sampling frequency output setting of "96 kHz to 48 kHz" or "96 kHz".
When set to "96 kHz to 48 kHz", the audio signals are always converted
to 48 kHz/16-bit. When set to "96 kHz", all types of signals, including
96 kHz/24-bit, are output in their original format. However, if the
signal is encrypted for copyright protection purposes, the signal is
only output as 48 kHz/16-bit. |
|
|
The DVR-810H
will play CD-R and CD-RW discs containing MP3 audio files recorded in
ISO 9660 Level 1/Level 2, Romeo or Joliet formats. MP3 files with a
compression rate from 32-320 kbps are supported. |
- Dynamic Range Compression:
|
This function
reduces a Dolby Digital soundtrack's dynamic range so you can hear
quieter dialogue without being overwhelmed by loud sections. You can
turn Dynamic Range Compression on or off. |
|
|
If the output is
set to progressive, this feature allows you to reduce the amount of
noise in the video signal. |
|
|
You can select a
parental control rating from 0-8, which is protected by a 4-digit
password. |
|
Hard Disk Recorder Features
|
|
|
In addition to
the progressive-scan DVD player/recorder, the DVR-810H features an 80GB
TiVo Series2 hard disk recorder. |
|
|
The DVR-810H
includes built-in TiVo Basic Service, allowing you to enjoy basic TiVo
features right out of the box, with no subscription fees. TiVo Basic
Service allows you to control live TV and record programs on a specific
channel at a specific time, much like a VCR. TiVo Basic Service also
includes an on-screen interactive program guide that provides up to 3
days of information on your favorite upcoming programs.
Note: If you have two program sources connected to this unit, you must
upgrade to TiVo Plus service to use them with full TiVo functionality.
For example, if you have a system that feeds satellite and antenna
signals, satellite and cable signals (without a cable box), or satellite
and cable signals (with a cable box) to this unit, you must upgrade to
TiVo Plus service to use them with full TiVo functionality. TiVo Basic
Service will not provide program guide info for two sources.
|
|
|
At any time, you
can upgrade to full TiVo functionality by subscribing to TiVo Plus
Service. TiVo Plus brings you the following features:
|
|
|
allows you to
automatically record every episode of your favorite series, all season
long, even if the schedule changes |
|
|
allows you to
find and record programs by actor, director, sports team, etc.
|
|
|
allows you to
browse for shows by title, filter by genre (like "Comedy"), and more
Interactive 14-Day Program Guide: allows you to instantly schedule
recordings from an on-screen guide that includes detailed show
summaries, ratings, etc. |
|
|
TiVo Plus skips
reruns, tracks schedule changes, and more |
|
|
Almost
everything you do with the TiVo service will start in TiVo Central; you
can set up recordings, watch programs, read messages from the TiVo
service, and access special Showcases featuring entertaining and
informative video. |
|
|
When you use
playback functions, a status bar appears indicating the position of the
program you are currently in. |
|
|
Whenever you
watch a live or pre-recorded show, a channel banner will momentarily
display program information. You can choose from the following versions
of the channel banner: Small (current time and channel), Medium (adds
the title, running time, and rating), or Large (adds program description
and icon). |
- Recording a Live Program:
|
You can always
record the program you're watching by pressing the record button. Up to
30 minutes of programming from the current channel is always being
saved, even when you are not recording a program. |
|
|
Now Playing
lists all the programs stored on the DVR-810H. As soon as a recording
begins, it appears at the top of the list. You can watch any title in
Now Playing, even one that is still being recorded. |
|
|
With TiVo Basic
Service, you can schedule a manual recording on a specific channel at a
specific time (just as you would with a VCR). You can also program a
recording to repeat every week, every day, or every weekday.
|
|
|
The To Do List
shows all your scheduled recordings and lets you cancel or edit them.
|
|
|
This list
contains messages from the TiVo service and alerts from the unit itself.
|
|
|
You can use TV
Parental Controls to set limits on television and movie ratings for any
programs in live TV or Now Playing, and to lock specific channels so
that a password is required to view them. You can use DVD Parental
Controls to set limits on movie ratings for DVDs. |
|
|
To receive the
latest programming information and software upgrades, the DVR-810H will
automatically make a daily phone call. This call typically takes about
5-10 minutes, and often occurs late at night. In most areas, there is a
local access number. In areas where there is not a local access number,
a long distance call is required for each update, and you will be billed
for long distance calling. You can also use the Internet for updates. To
accomplish this, you must connect the DVR-810H to a home network that
includes a shared broadband Internet connection. |
|
|
The DVR-810H
lets you choose one of the following levels of video recording quality:
Extreme (Fine), High (SP), Medium (LP), or Basic (EP).
