Additional Notes:
•Because of the various ways in which commercials are broadcast, the VCR may not be able to recognize all commercials.
•If a timer recording is scheduled for the middle of the night, please be aware that the VCR will make some noise as it rewinds and fast forwards the tape while marking commercials.
