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 103), and that there are fewer than
99/999 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 if 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.
Simultaneous recording and
playback (Chase Play)
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 58).
DVR-640H-S/DVR-541H-S:
Chase Play is not
possible when DV is the recording input.

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 119).
Also, during simultaneous recording
and playback, if the TV line system of the
playback track/title changes then
playback will automatically stop.
