Sorry, I got rid of this thing quite a while back. If I understand your question correctly, push the stop button. If that is not working, call the Sony help line in your owners manual.

I have a Toshiba HD-A35 and it resumes playback if I only hit the stop button once.

The pause button is the same as the record button. So if you're recording and want to pause the recording, just press the rec/pause button.

Yes you ABSOLUTELY can!!!! You just press the OK button to pause and resume recording. You press the Video Camera icon button to STOP recording completely. Hope this helps.

If the same happens with all VCR tapes, either the machine malfunctions or you may be missing something in the directions. Follow those listed on pages 50-51. I've succeeded in all of my 25 tries. Good luck!

The instructions don't say you can back up and record over. You can pause and restart. I use it to record groups so it just goes. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.

I have been having MAJOR problems getting the red 'rec' button to stop an in-process recording! Often, it doesn't stop at all, and I have to turn the unit off AS IT'S RECORDING!!! VERY ANNOYING.

I don't think you can. I looked at mine, and I did not see anything on there that said DVR - for Record. But a note, I quit using the VCR a few months in because it starting eating tapes. I only use it for DVD's.

Yes, there is a mode which you can record when there is movement. No movement, it would stop recording.

Well you don't "record over" on a dvd recorder (it's not like video tape). You can press the "top menu" button on the remote. Then you delete an existing recording to make more room for new recordings.

No. "At the end of the tape, playback stops and the unit turns off automatically."

It is not "exactly" designed to help with that because no VCR is involved. BUT you never know. To find out on your own, you would have to buy it first! I would suggest first contacting the seller [or manufacturer] through Amazon. That way you should be able to find out before purchasing.Good luck,MR

I'm sorry for your trouble but you must hit menu and formate disk before an RW can be recorded on, but I wouldn't count on it. I have a DR420 and a 430 and its been some time sence mine would formate my -RW disk and I have 6 left. Also I was recording "Play Misty For Me" on Encore Suspence and they stopped the DVD recording and I put in a tape in my VCR and hit record and the tape ejected. I know Dish Network and these movie channels are reprogramming these units to prevent recording, I've operated a VCR service center for 35 years and they are overiding the system programming.

YES! I finally got it to work, but they don't make it easy. I had to submit a help ticket with the manufacturer. They sent this link, and when I followed their directions, I was able to get audio and video onscreen and saved to a file. My only problem was that while recording, there are black lines across the screen, so you can only hear the video. I suppose if the VCR is connected to a TV (mine was not when tested), you can still see when to stop recording on your TV.https://vimeo.com/110391073

You can stop recording, yes. The thing is, there is no such thing as "pause" anymore when it comes to digital camcorders. I worry that you may be thinking of the old-days, like 8mm or video tape or VHS or even digital tapes like Mini-DV when things were actually recorded on a piece of tape so if you hit "pause" then re-recorded after any amount of time, the TAPE would start recording exactly where you left off. Now that everything is digital and video data is recorded onto SD cards, memory cards, computers, etc., when you "pause" the camcorder will create a new TRACK. Like a CD. It's like the difference between a cassette tape and a CD. The data exists in a different realm.

Yes, you can. There are 2 ways. If you want to keep going with the same title, then while the DVD is burning/recording, push the record button (surrounded by a red circle). This plays the burner into a pause state (the red circle will slowly flash). You then have 2 minutes to change tapes. Then just push the record button again. The other way is to simply push the stop button. This stops the current title. Until you finalize the DVD, you can use this method until the DVD fills up. Just put in a new tape and press record to start the next title.

Yes, you can just click on rec button to pause or close the lcd screen to also pause the record.
