It does as you asked without an internal hard drive. I can come home while it is recording, hit play and it keeps recording while I'm watching (haven't tried it yet though). I'm just following the recording DVD. This unit does not have a hard drive but with DVD-RW's does it matter? I'll just re-use the same DVD over and over. They call it "time slip" or "chase play". Check the spec's carefully before buying, I almost bought a Panny but found out that it didn't do DVD-RW's, only DVD-R.
"Chase Play: Yes (not in video mode)" whatever that means.

You can get non hard drive units that will do this. See above. (NT) - grantv 12:04:17 08/09/04 (0)
