OTHER FEATURES

COMMERCIAL ADVANCE Playback

Press 2 to switch between Playback: AUTO and MANUAL.

•Select AUTO to have the VCR automatically advance through the blocks of marked commercials.

It works with most 30, 45, and 60-second commercials.

A commercial group starting with the first two minutes or last two minutes of a recording will not automatically be skipped.

A commercial will not be skipped if a recording starts in the middle of a commercial segment, one isolated commercial is shown without others, or a commercial is longer than one minute. Press FWD on the VCR (FORWARD on remote) to scan through the commercial.

Part of a recorded program may be skipped if the program segment is between commercials and less than one minute or there are frequent dark and quiet scenes. If part of the program is skipped, rewind the tape to the beginning of the skipped program segment and press PLAY.

•Select MANUAL and the VCR won’t advance through the blocks of marked commercials until you press SEARCH.

If you press SEARCH during playback of material other than commercials, the VCR advances to the end of the next “marked” commercial block and resumes playback.

The VCR resumes playback when it reaches the end of the marked commercials.

COMMERCIAL ADVANCE Display

Press 3 to switch between Display: BLUE or VIDEO.

•Select BLUE to display a blue background when the VCR advances through the block of marked commercials.

•Select VIDEO to display the recorded video when the VCR advances through the block of marked commercials.
