No pause on Recording?

[kevs]

On my new Sony recorder, I don't see a pause record. Is it there? Is it normal for recorders not to have them?

It's a real hassle in that every time you want to stop and start recording you have to wait for info write.

Anyone? this is not so complicated

My Lite-On doesn't have a record pause either. Not surprising you can't stop a write in the middle of a sector.

Zapping commercials is not what they do well. But PC's can edit the recordingd very well.

Thanks! keep em coming people!
Why do I think I remember one unit that had a record pause before I settled on the Sony?

You can pause Panasonics.

What model LiteOn do you have
The LiteOn 5045, the ilo RHD04 and R04 can be paused in record by pressing the pause button on the remote. It works for both play and record. While not familiar with other models of the Liteon, I would not think a pause that is on the ilo would not be on the LiteOn as they as basicly the same. The remotes for the ilo and Liteon are the same and work each other

I have the iLo R04 also...because I can't see the buttons on the remote without my glasses, which are never in the same room as I am, I just use the pause button on the front of the machine...I've copied a bunch of vhs tapes that way...

That's interesting, cause the Sony, which is a terrific machine, does not have a record pause, so if you stop, you get a title, no record pause. is this norm ?
