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 106).
Chase Play is not possible when DV is the recording input.

playback from the beginning of the current

• Press during recording to select another
NAVIGATOR
title to play.
You can use all the usual playback controls, such as
pause, slow-motion play, scan and skip.
• To stop playback, press  (Stop)(recording will
continue).
• To stop recording, press STOP REC (playback will
continue).
• During recording or in timer recording standby, you
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
on page 161). Also, during simultaneous recording
and playback, if the TV line system of the playback
track/title changes then playback will automatically
stop.
Note
1 You can't start playback immediately after recording starts. Simultaneous playback and recording doesn't work while copying or backing up.
2 This cannot be selected if AV2/L1 In is set to Decoder (see AV2/L1 In on page 155).
