DVR Gracenote Database Update	800-1954	01-01-2009	27.9 MB

The Gracenote database allows your Pioneer Hard Disk Recorder to identify album, song, and artist names. Updates to this database are released periodically, and can be updated by downloading and installing this latest update.

This update is applicable for:

• DVR-LX70D
• SDVR-LX70D - LX01
• DVR-LX61
• DVR-LX61D
• DVR-560HX
• DVR-560H

You'll only need to update your DVD Recorder if the Gracenote version is lower than "1954" (below is an explanation of how to check which Gracenote vesion you have).

To download the files and install the update, follow the instructions below:

1. Check your current version of the Gracenote database

• Switch on your DVD Recorder
• Select "Home Menu"
• Select "Setup"
• Select "Initial Setup"
• Select "Options2"
• Select "Gracenote Database"
• Select "Version Information"
  
  
  
  
• Remember, you'll only need to update your DVD Recorder if the Update Level is lower than "1954".
• To return the DVR to its normal operating state, press the Home Menu button on the remote control.

2. Download the Update

If your browser does not automatically start the download process, be sure that your browser or security software is set to allow downloading of files from this web site. You can also right-click the file name and select "Save As" to start the download process.

3. Create the Update Disc

Burn the file (name: "TFDupdateDB1954.bin" – size: 27,9 MB) to a recordable CD-R or CD-RW using a CD burning program.

• It is important to use a good quality branded blank CD-R disc or completely erased CD-RW disc.
• Burn the file to the disc using disc-at-once mode (2x Speed) and ISO 9660 CD-ROM file system format. (The player will not recognize the update disc and the update cannot be performed if the file is not burned correctly to the disc.)
• Make sure that the disc session is closed / the disc is finalised.

4. Update your DVD Recorder

Before you start the actual update make sure to check the remaining space on the HDD. (DISPLAY button on the remote). When the remaining space drops to under 1 hour in the SP recording mode, delete some titles stored on the HDD.
