Simultaneous Recording And Playback; Recording From An External Component - Pioneer DVR-530H-S Operating Instructions Manual

Simultaneous recording and
playback
VR mode HDD
A feature called Chase Play makes it possible to watch a
recording in progress (DVD or HDD) from the start of the
recording (as in, playback is 'chasing' the recording). For
example, perhaps you have to miss the first 30 minutes of
a movie on TV; you can start recording, then start
watching the movie, from the beginning, while the
recorder is still recording 30 minutes ahead of you.
In fact, you're not just limited to watching the recording
in progress; you can watch anything else already on the
DVD or HDD by selecting it from the Disc Navigator
screen (see Using the Disc Navigator with recordable
discs and the HDD on page 51).
Important
• You must use a DVD-RW Ver. 1.1 / 2x or
Ver. 1.2 disc to be able to use this feature.
• You may not be able to use this feature with a
DVD-RW disc that was first initialized on another
recorder.
• Chase playback is not possible using a VR mode
DVD-R disc.
• 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).

from the beginning of the current recording
press DISC NAVIGATOR and select another title to

can't play an HDD title, DVD or Video CD/Super VCD
disc if the Input Line System setting doesn't match
the TV line system of the disc/HDD title (see also
Additional information about the TV system settings

and playback, if the TV line system of the playback
track/title changes then playback will automatically
stop.
