Other Useful functions for playback

recordings — Instant Review

At the press of a button, you can turn on the VCR, rewind the tape and begin to view the most recent timer- recorded program.

Press REVIEW on the Remote after ensuring that the VCR is in the timer recording standby mode.

The VCR turns on, and rewinds to the index code indicating the beginning of the last timer-recorded program, then begins playback automatically.

You can access a program of 2 to 9 index codes away from the current position on the tape. If, for example, you have 5 programs recorded and you want to watch the third one, press REVIEW three times.

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.
