Playback During Recording (HSR-2/2P only)

With the HSR-2/2P, you can play the latest recorded scene or a scene recorded before without stopping recording now in progress. You can also play a scene recorded on other cassettes. Fast-forward, rewind, time search and alarm search operations are also possible during recording.

In playback during recording, pictures are recorded and stored on the hard disk, and will be copied to the tape when Playback During Recording mode is canceled.

Keys that can be used in Playback During Recording mode, and their functions

When one of the keys below is pressed during recording (the REC indicator is lit), Playback During Recording mode is activated, and the operation using these keys is performed while recording is continued using the hard disk.

PLAY (PRE REVERSE PLAY) key: To locate the preset point of the pre-reverse time on the hard disk, before the current time. Playback starts from that point. The pre-reverse time can be set on the PRE REVERSE TIME SET display from the Function Control menu. Pre- reverse playback is always directly from data on the hard disk. If recording has not yet been made for the duration of the pre-reverse time, playback starts from the recording starting point. This key functions as the normal playback start key after a cassette operation.

TIME SEARCH and ALARM SEARCH keys: To execute a Time search, Rec-end search or Alarm search operation.

EJECT key: To change the cassette.

F FWD and REW keys: To fast-forward or rewind a tape.

STOP key: To stop playback during recording. A guidance for the next operation is displayed.

Note

Even when the REC indicator is lit, the unit will not be switched to Playback During Recording mode by pressing the REW key at the tape top.

If the optional SVRM-100A remote control unit is connected, you can operate the HSR-2/2P using the keys on the SVRM-100A. The Jog/Shuttle operation from the SVRM-100A is also possible.

Requirements for Playback During Recording

Recording cycle

In order to play back without stopping recording, the recording cycle must be of a certain value or larger. The valid minimum value for the recording cycle is displayed under the current REC CYCLE value on the setting display for a Recording mode.

Even if the current set value is smaller than the valid minimum value, the Playback During Recording operation will be enabled by setting PRIORITY of the Function Control Menu to PLAY. In this case, the recording cycle will be increased automatically to the same value as the valid minimum value when Playback During Recording mode is activated. (The recording cycle will return to the original value when Playback During Recording mode is canceled.)
