Question Answer
How fast does the VCR advance through
commercials?
The VCR advances through a 3-minute commercial
block in about 8 to 12 seconds if the tape speed is
SLP. In SP, it takes about 25 to 35 seconds.
Are commercials advanced through only
when I playback a recording?
Yes. The commercials are not marked until after the
recording is finished.
Are commercials still recorded on the
tape in case I choose to view them
sometime? Yes. By setting the C/A PLAYBACK to MANUAL, see
page 27, you can view or advance through
commercials as desired.
Does COMMEfiCIAL-‘'ABfiMMCE* work in all
recording speeds?
Yes. COMMEfiOAL^^AamteB* works in SP, lp , and
SLP.
Does the VCR advance through
commercials each time 1 playback tapes
which were recorded using
COtMfRCMt
»ADKAMCE*?
Yes. As long as C/A PLAYBACK is set to AUTO, see
page 27, the VCR should advance through
commercials each time the tape is played back.
After marking commercials, does the
VCR stop at the end of the tape, or
rewind to the beginning?
The tape stops at the end of the recording so that any
additional timer recordings can be performed.
Can 1 play my COMMEROAL-ABnMMee’

COMMERCtAL>^-JUIIV!nMCE* VCRs?

play in non-CQMMEftCWi^^iUiMlMCE* VCRs, but
commercials will not be advanced through.

other programmed recordings?
No. If the interval between 2 or more timer programs is
not sufficient to mark the recording, marking will be
done after all recordings are complete and the power
goes off.
What happens if 1 cancel the marking in
progress so 1 can use the VCR?
Marking will be resumed when the VCR's power is
turned off as long as the tape has not been ejected.
What if pari of my program is advanced
through along with the commercials? Please see the 3rd note on page 27.
Additional Notes;
• Because of the various ways in which commercials are broadcast, the VCR may not be able to
recognize all commercials.
• If a timer recording is scheduled for the middle of the night, please be aware that the VCR will
make some noise as it rewinds and fast forwards the tape while marking commercials.
