COMME RCIAL ADVANC E®
The feature, Commercial Advance, is patented technology
that detects and marks most commercials on your tape for
any recording that is more than 15 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.
