The Commercial Free Copy function will only recognize commercial groups that have been marked by
COMMERCIAL ADVANCE.
Auto Commercial Free Copy will be disabled if there is a Timer event scheduled on Deck 2.
AUTO COMMERCIAL FREE COPY
When “Comm. Free Copy” is set to “Auto,” each time a TV program finishes recording and marking
commercials in Deck 1, the VCR will automatically rewind Deck 1 to the start of the recording and copy
the program to Deck 2 without the marked commercials!
How it Works
1. Load a videotape with a record safety tab into each Deck.
2. Record a TV program in Deck 1 (standard recording, One-Touch recording or timer recording).
3. When recording is stopped in Deck 1 (or when the recording time has elapsed), the VCR will auto-
matically rewind the tape in Deck 1 to the start of the recording and mark all commercial groups.
4. Next Deck 1 will rewind again and copy the program to Deck 2 leaving out the marked commercials.
When Auto Commercial Free Copy is complete, both decks will stop at the end of the recorded
program—ready to record additional programs!
