Simultaneous recording and
playback (Chase Play)
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 53).
Chase Play is not possible when DV is the
recording input.
Important
• You can’t use this feature during Auto
Start Recording, or in Auto Start
Recording standby (the AUTO indicator
is lit in the front panel display).
• Press during recording to
start playback from the beginning of the
current recording
1 .
• 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 F STOP REC
(playback will continue).
• During recording or in timer recording
standby, you can’t play an HDD title,
DVD, DivX title or Video CD/Super VCD
disc if the Input Line System setting
doesn’t match the TV line system of the
disc/DivX title/HDD title (see also
Additional information about the TV
system settings on page 119). Also,
during simultaneous recording and
playback, if the TV line system of the
playback track/title changes then
playback will automatically stop.
Recording from an external
component
You can record from an external component,
such as a camcorder or VCR, connected to
one of the recorder’s external inputs.
1 Make sure that the component you
want to record from is connected
properly to the HDD/DVD recorder.
See Chapter 2 (page 14) for connection
options.
2 Press repeatedly to select one of
the external inputs to record from.
The current input is shown on-screen and in
the front panel display:
• L1 – INPUT 1/AUTO START REC
• L2 – INPUT 2 (front panel)
• L3 – INPUT 3
Check that the Audio In settings for
External Audio and Dual Mono/Bilingual
Recording are as you want them (see Audio
In on page 111).
• If the aspect ratio is distorted (squashed
or stretched), adjust on the source
component or your TV before recording.
• To watch video coming in via the DV
input (front panel), select DV/HDD-Cam
> DV Video Playback from the Home
Menu (see also Playing from a DV
camcorder on page 61).
Note
1 You can’t start playback immediately after recording starts. Simultaneous playback and recording doesn’t work
while copying or backing up.
