Simultaneous recording and playback

VR mode

HDD

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 34).

Important

Note that you must use a DVD-RW Ver. 1.1/2x disc to be able to use this feature.

Unrecorded DVD-RW discs initialized on another recorder may not be able to use this feature.

• 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 a DVD, no sound is output if the recorder is also recording the DVD (see Scanning discs on page 35).

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

You can’t use simultaneous playback and recording while copying or backing up.

See Chapter 2 (Connecting up) for connection options.

There are three analog inputs and a DV digital input. The current input is shown on-screen and in the front panel display:

L1 – Input 1/Auto Start Rec

L3 – Input 3

DV – DV input/output (front panel)

Check that the Audio In settings for External Audio, Dual Mono Recording and DV Input are as you want them (see Audio In settings on page 92).

If the aspect ratio is distorted (squashed or stretched), adjust on the source component or your TV before recording.
