• What happens when two or more timer
programmes overlap?
Basically, the programme with the
earlier recording start time has priority.
However, the recorder will start
recording the programme with the later
start time after the earlier programme is
finished. If schedule to record two
programmes have the same times (but
different channels, for example), then
only one of the two programmes will be
recorded. In this event you should cancel
the scheduled recording of the lesser
important programme.
If one of the overlapping programmes is
a regular timer programme, you may
choose 'Cancel Once' in order to avoid
having it overlap with a separately
scheduled programme (see Skipping a
regular timer programme on page 44).
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.
