Instant Review
Simply by pressing a single button, the recorder power comes on,
rewinds, and begins playback of the last timer-recorded
programme. If you have several programmes recorded, you can
easily access any of them.
NOTE:
Before starting, make sure that the recorder is off and that the
Timer mode is disengaged.
— Activate Instant Review
Press REVIEW. The recorder power comes on and the recorder
searches for the index code indicating the start of the last timer-
recorded programme. Once it's found, playback begins
automatically.
The front display panel tells you how many programmes have
been recorded. If you have, for example, 3 programmes,
"REVIEW" and "3" appear and blink. To watch the first of the 3
programmes, press REVIEW three times. The recorder searches
and begins playback automatically. You can access a
programme as far as 9 index codes away from the current tape
position.
NOTE:
Instant Review is not possible while the recorder is in the Timer
mode.
