Tape Operation
detects and marks the beginning and end points
of commercials on your tape for recordings over 15 minutes in length.
When
marked tape is played back, the VCR
automatically advances through the commercial segments at high speed.
You can also set this feature to Manual so as to have more control over
the advance process. The effectiveness of this system can vary due to
differences in the way television stations broadcast. See page for
answers to the most commonly asked questions about this feature.
When C/A RECORD: ON, VCR automatically rewinds the tape after a
recording has been made and marks the beginning and end of any
detected commercial blocks. After marking is done, the tape is returned to
the end of recording. Commercials are not erased from the tape.
