Simultaneous recording and playback (Chase Play)

HDD

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 106).

Chase Play is not possible when DV is the recording input.

• (LCD page 1) Press during recording to start playback from the beginning of the current recording1.

DISC

• NAVIGATOR 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 161). Also, during simultaneous recording and playback, if the TV line system of the playback track/title changes then playback will automatically stop.
