Timer recording FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions
• Even though the timer is set, the recorder doesn't start
recording!
Check that the disc loaded or HDD is recordable, not
locked (see Lock Disc on page 132), and that there are
fewer than 99/999 titles already on the DVD/HDD.
• The recorder won't let me enter a timer programme!
Why not?
You can't enter a timer programme if the clock isn't
set.
• 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.

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

overlapping programmes is a regular timer
programme for a digital broadcast, 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 77) .
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 94).
Chase Play is not possible when DV is the recording input.
