Commercial Advance - ProScan PSVR87 User Manual

COMMERCIAL
,, ADVANCE ®
The feature, Commercial Advance, is patented technology that
detects and marks most commercials on your tape for any
recording that is more than 1 5 minutes long. After recording, the
VCR rewinds the tape to the beginning of the recording and
determines where the commercials are located. It then marks the
beginning and end of the detected commercial segments, and
when finished, returns the tape to the end of the recording. It
does not erase commercials from the tape.
During playback, the VCR automatically skips the detected
commercial segments, or you can chose to manually skip them.
This feature reduces three minutes of commercials to
approximately 8-12 seconds of fast forwarding in the SLP speed.
You can select a background display of blue or see the recorded
video as the commercials are skipped.
Because television signals do not indicate where the ads are
located, the Commercial Advance feature finds and marks them
through a set of formulas based on how television is broadcast.
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, but might be
skipped by this feature. For more information, see "Questions
and Answers About Commercial Advance" in the Reference
section of this manual. All Commercial Advance features are
accessed through the COMMERCIAL ADVANCE menu.
