When recording is stopped, the VCR will alert you that, "The VCR will begin marking commercials in 59 seconds..."
•
No action is required to mark the commercials on the recording; simply wait 59 seconds for the confirmation screen to
count down.
•
If you are not present for the 59-second countdown, the VCR will automatically mark the commercials anyway; e.g., if you
set a Timer Recording or One Touch Recording and the TV is turned off, the commercials will still be marked.

To cancel, press STOP on the VHS deck and the commercials will not be marked.

When the 59 seconds have elapsed, the VCR will rewind to the start of the recording, and then search forward and mark groups
of commercials.

This process takes approximately 15 minutes for each hour of recorded tape.

The VCR will stop when finished.

Rewind the tape and proceed to "Skipping Commercials."

COMMERCIAL ADVANCE is a trademark of SRT, Inc. A Jerry Iggul-
den invention licensed in association with Arthur D. Little Enter-
prises, Inc.
• When you use Timer Recording to record two consecutive
shows on the same channel, program each show separately so
that the prologues and epilogues are not automatically skipped.
• COMMERCIAL ADVANCE will only mark recordings longer
than 20 minutes.
