Timer recording FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

• Even though the timer is set, the recorder

doesn’t start recording!

Check that the disc loaded or HDD is
recordable, not locked (see

Lock Disc

on

page 103), and that there are fewer than
99/999 titles already on the DVD/HDD.

• The recorder won’t let me enter a timer

program! Why not?

You can’t enter a timer program if the
clock isn’t set.

• What happens when two or more timer

programs overlap?

Basically, the program with the earlier
recording start time has priority.
However, the recorder will start
recording the program with the later
start time after the earlier program is
finished. If two programs have the same
times (but different channels, for
example), the program set most recently
takes priority.

Simultaneous recording and

playback (Chase Play)

Chase Play allows you to watch a recording
that is still in progress from the start, without
having to wait until the recording has
finished (i.e., playback is ‘chasing’ the
recording).
In fact, you’re not just limited to watching
the recording in progress. You can watch
anything else already on the HDD (or on a

DVD if you’re recording to the HDD) by
selecting it from the Disc Navigator screen
(see

Using the Disc Navigator with recordable

discs and the HDD

on page 58).

DVR-640H-S only:

Chase Play is not possible

when DV is the recording input.

the TV line system of the disc/HDD title

Additional information about

the TV system settings

on page 119).

Also, during simultaneous recording
and playback, if the TV line system of the
playback track/title changes then
