Timer recording FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Even though the timer is set, the recorder doesn’t start recording!

Check that the disc loaded is recordable, not locked (see Lock Disc on page 70), and that there are fewer than 99 titles already on the DVD.

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.

I entered a timer program, but the recorder doesn’t confirm whether or not it’s OK. Why not?

Timer confirmation only works for DVD recordings when there is a recordable disc loaded. Also make sure that the disc is not locked (see Lock Disc on page 70) and that there are fewer than 99 titles already recorded. Note that it’s possible that although the timer recording screen says OK, the recording doesn’t complete successfully because of some other reason, such as a damaged disc, etc.

Simultaneous recording and playback

VR mode

A feature called Chase Play makes it possible to watch a recording in progress 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 by selecting it from the Disc Navigator screen (see Using the Disc Navigator with recordable discs on page 34).

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 DVD-RW discs initialized on another recorder.

• During recording, press PLAY to start playback from the beginning of the current recording, 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 and skip.

• To stop playback, press

STOP (recording will

continue).

 

• To stop recording, press

STOP REC (playback will

continue).

 

Note

You can’t start playback immediately after recording starts.

When scanning, no sound is output if the recorder is also recording (see Scanning discs on page 35).

You can’t use this feature during Auto Start Recording, or in Auto Start Recording standby.
