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 72).

PLAY

• Press during recording to start playback from the beginning of the current recording1.

• Press during recording to select another title to play.

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).

•During recording or in timer recording standby, you can’t play an HDD title, DVD or Video CD/Super VCD disc if the Input Line System setting doesn’t match the TV line system of the disc/HDD title (see also Additional information about the TV system settings on page 127).

You can record from an external component, such as a camcorder or VCR, connected to one of the recorder’s external inputs.

1Make sure that the component you want to record from is connected properly to the DVD recorder.

See Chapter 2 (Connecting up) for connection options.

INPUT SELECT

•L2 – Input 2 (front panel)

Check that the Audio In settings for External Audio and Bilingual Recording are as you want them (see Audio In on page 120).

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