•The VCR marks commercials in a timer recording after the recording stops (see “Automatic Timer Recording” on Page 35).
•If the interval between two timer recordings is not long enough to allow commercial marking, the VCR waits until after the next timer recording.
•The VCR can store up to eight timer recording settings and 45 commercial loca- tions in memory at one time. When the memory becomes full, the remaining com- mercials are not marked.
