Panasonic PV-4664 - Manual (Page 21)

COMMERCIAL ADVANCE TM
COMMERCIAL ADVANCE™ detects and marks the beginning and end points of commercials on your tape for
recordings over 15 minutes in length. When the COMMERCIAL ADVANCE™ marked tape is played back, the VCR
automatically advances through the commercial segments at high speed. You can also set this feature to Manual
so as to have more control over the advance process.
The effectiveness of this system can vary due to differences in the way television stations broadcast.
See page 23 for answers to the most commonly asked questions about this feature.
