ABOUT
COMMERCIA ADVANCE
Will commercials
be scanned through only on playback of recordings?
Yes. The VCR does not rewind
and mark commercial
segments until after recording
is finished.
How fast does the COMMERCIALI_I_ADVANCE
VCR scan through the commercial
breaks?
In SLP tape speed, a 3-minute
commercial
break is scanned
through
in approximately
8-12 seconds.
In SP, it takes
about 25-35 seconds.
Are commercials
still recorded
if I want to watch them?
Yes. The recorded
program,
including
commercials,
can be viewed
by setting the Playback
feature to MANUAL.
What if the VCR scans forward
through part of my program?
Simply
rewind
the tape to just
before the skipped
segment, and press PLAY to view the program.

work each time the tape is played?

feature is set to AUTO,
the marked commercials

each time the tape is played
in a
COM MERCIALI_I*ADVANCE
VCR.
After marking commercials,
is the tape left at the beginning or end of the recording?
The tape is left at the end of the recording
so it is in position
to begin additional
programmed
recordings.

together

marking
will
take place after all recordings
have completed.

Marking can be interrupted
to allow use of the VCR. Marking
will resume again when the VCR's power is
turned
off as long as the tape has not been ejected from the VCR,
