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 56).
Chase Play is not possible when DV is the
recording input (DVR-650H-S/DVR-550H-S
only).
