Playback and Recording Feature

COMMERCIALAADVANCE™ Feature

COMMERCIALAADVANCEª is a patented technology that detects and marks most commercials on your tape for any recording that is more than 15 minutes long. During playback, the VCR automatically skips the detected commercial segments or you can choose to manually skip them. This feature reduces three minutes of commercials into approximately 8-12 seconds of fast forwarding in the SLP speed. You can select a background of blue or see the video as the commercials are skipped.

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 returns the tape to the end of the recording. It does not erase the commercials from the tape.

Because television signals do not indicate where commercials are located, this feature finds and marks them through a set of formulas based on how television is broadcast today. Since television stations broadcast differently and insert their own commercials, you may experience some variations in this featureÕs effectiveness. Station promotions, identifications, and announcements are not considered commercials Ñ but might be skipped.
