Recording
and
Playback
COMMERCIAL_ADVANCE
TM
is a patented
technology
that detects and marks most commercials on your tape
for any recording
that is more than 15 minutes long. During playback, the VCR automatically
skips the detected
commercial
segments
or you can choose to manually skip them. This feature reduces three minutes
of commercials
into approximately
8-12 seconds of fast forwarding
in the SLP mode. You can select a background
of blue or see
the video as the commercials
are skipped.
After recording,
the VCR rewinds
the tape and determines
where the commercials are located.
It then marks the
beginning
and end of the detected commercial
segments
and returns the tape to the end of the recording.
It does not
erase the commercials from the tape.
Because television signals do not indiEate where commercials are located, this feature finds and marks them
through a set of formulas based on how television is broadcasted today. Since television stations broadcast
differently and insert their own commercials, you may experience some variations in this feature's effectiveness.
Station promotions, identifications,
and announcements
are not considered commercials.
