# %G - Set Playback Mode for a Recording

`%G` |  | `ON` |
`OFF`

A recording can be played back in two modes:

- Background Mode
  In background mode, the entire recording is played back invisibly; that is, all the actions of the recording are carried out without anything being displayed to you on the terminal screen during the execution of the recording. Neither can you interrupt a recording that is played back in background mode (unless the recording contains the terminal command `%R`).

- Step Mode
  In step mode, a recording is played back step by step, and all actions are displayed to you. By pressing ENTER you proceed from one step to the next. In step mode, it is also possible for you to interrupt the recording by pressing the CLEAR key.

By default, a recording is played back in background mode.
