One of the main advantages of HDD and DVD is quick, easy playback of a
desired program with no need for fast-forwarding or rewinding. The DVR-
510H-S and DVR-310-S enhance this convenience with the Advanced Disc
Navigator, which shows you a list of program titles recorded on HDD or on
the loaded disc. And when you select one with the cursor, an animated
thumbnail picture is displayed on the screen with audio, making it easy to
recognize the program contents.
*Not available with finalized discs.
Simultaneous Playback and Recording /
"Chase Play" Function
The DVR-510H-S and DVR-310-S are the industry's first DVD recorders that
enable simultaneous playback and recording with DVD-RW discs*. They let
you watch any program recorded on a disc while that same disc is
recording another program. Moreover, "Chase Play" makes it possible to
play back and watch a currently recorded program from the beginning
without halting the recording.
The DVR-510H-S also lets you record a program on HDD while
playing back another from a DVD-R/DVD-RW disc, or vice versa.
*DVD-RW Ver. 1.1/2X discs (VR mode) only.
