We find no abuse of discretion in the procedure followed by the trial court. Butler v. State, 201 Ga. App. 58, 60 (2) ( 410 S.E.2d 168) (1991). See also Guess v. State, 264 Ga. 335, 336 (2) ( 443 S.E.2d 477) (1994).

This practice has been noted with approval by this court. See, e.g., Butler v. State, 201 Ga. App. 58, 60 ( 410 S.E.2d 168) (1991). Nobles is mistaken as well in his assertion that the trial court erred in allowing the tape to be replayed at the request of the jury.

Considering that the proper foundation was laid for admission of the tapes and use of the transcript earlier in the trial and that the court gave appropriate cautionary instructions to the jury before they reread the transcripts, we find no abuse of discretion in this case. See Butler v. State, 201 Ga. App. 58, 60 (2) ( 410 S.E.2d 168) (1991); Sledge v. State, 223 Ga. App. 488, 490 (4) ( 477 S.E.2d 898) (1996). We specifically reject Barnes's argument that the trial court erred in allowing the jury to reread both transcripts instead of hearing the testimony as they initially requested.
