Will COMMERCIAL

Yes. The VCR does not rewind and mark commercial segments until after

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.
Yes. The recorded program, including commercials, can be viewed by setting
the CF Playback feature to MANUAL.
Simply rewind the tape to just before the skipped segment, and press PLAY to
view the program.
Yes. If the CF Playback feature is set to AUTO, the marked commercials
should be skipped each time the tape is played in the
COMMERCIAL
AA
ADVANCE™ VCR.
The tape is left at the end of the recording so it is in position to begin
additional programmed recordings.
No. If two or more recordings are programmed together without sufficient
time to mark the first recording, marking will take place after all recordings
are complete.
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.
Yes, COMMERCIAL

ADVANCE™ works in SP, LP, and SLP.
A COMMERCIAL
AA
ADVANCE™ marked recording will play in a non-

ADVANCE™ VCR, but commercials will not automatically
be skipped.
