Simultaneous recording and
playback
A feature called Chase Play makes it possible to watch a
recording in progress (DVD or HDD) from the start of the
recording (as in, playback is ‘chasing’ the recording). For
example, perhaps you have to miss the first 30 minutes of
a movie on TV; you can start recording, then start
watching the movie, from the beginning, while the
recorder is still recording 30 minutes ahead of you.
In fact, you’re not just limited to watching the recording
in progress; you can watch anything else already on the
DVD or HDD by selecting it from the Disc Navigator
screen (see
Using the Disc Navigator with recordable
discs and the HDD on page 58).
Important
• Note that you must use a DVD-RW Ver. 1.1 / 2x or
Ver. 1.2 disc to be able to use this feature.
• You may not be able to use this feature with a
DVD-RW disc that was first initialized on another
recorder.
• Chase playback is not possible using a VR mode
DVD-R disc.
• During recording, press PLAY to start playback
from the beginning of the current recording 1 , or
press DISC NAVIGATOR and select another title to
play from there.
You can use all the usual playback controls, such as
pause, slow-motion play, scan 2 and skip.
• To stop playback, press STOP (recording will
continue).
• To stop recording, press STOP REC (playback will
continue).
Note
1.You can’t start playback immediately after recording starts. Simultaneous playback and recording doesn’t work while copying or backing up.
2.When scanning a DVD, no sound is output if the recorder is also recording the DVD (see
Scanning discs on page 60).
