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 90), and that there are
fewer than 99 titles already on the DVD/HDD.
• The recorder won't let me enter a timer program! Why
not?
You can't enter a timer program while a timer
recording is in progress, during timer recording
standby or when the clock isn't set.
• What happens when two or more timer programs
overlap?
Basically, the program with the earlier recording start
time has priority. However, the recorder will start
recording the program with the later start time after
the earlier program is finished. If two programs have
the same times (but different channels, for example),
the program set most recently takes priority.
If VPS/PDC is active for two timer programs that are
programmed to start at the same time, then the
program that actually starts first takes priority.
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 38).
