If you want to find the very beginning of the desired program, press REW ( 1) or FF ( ¡ ) after playback starts.

If the tape is already rewound when REVIEW is pressed, it will play the tape from the beginning. It will not fast-forward to an index code.

The Instant Review function will also operate if the VCR is turned on.
