While you are in the playback mode, the radio continues to store the audio from the channel. Obviously, you will be unable to “catch up” to the live broadcast during play- back, as new audio is being stored at the same rate at which you are playing back the stored audio. You can use the Fast-Forwardbutton to skip ahead or exit the Instant Replay mode, and begin listening to the live broadcast again.

When paused, and the Instant Replay memory is 10 seconds from becoming full, you will hear two beeps (if the Power-Up Tone option is enabled). When the memory is full, the SP5 will automatically begin playback, and will continue to store the channel audio, overwriting the oldest portion of the audio previously stored.

The Instant Replay Time Position indicates the exact amount of time the Play Position Indicator (see Figure 54, on page 72) is behind the live broadcast, expressed as Hours:Minutes:Seconds, and displayed as a negative number. For example, if –00:02:40 is displayed, this would indicate that the Play Position Indicator is 2 minutes and 40 seconds behind the live broadcast.

When you put Instant Replay into the Fast-Forward, Rewind or Pause Modes, icons ap- pear on the screen to indicate the active mode (see Figure 55).
