Tape Operation
detects and marks the beginning and end points of commercials on your tape
for recordings over 15 minutes in length.
When 
marked tape is played
back, the VCR automatically advances through the commercial segments at high speed. You can also set this feature to Manual so as to have more control over the advance process. The effectiveness of this system can vary due to differences in the way television stations broadcast. See page 32 for answers to the most commonly asked questions about this feature.
