NOTE
• The Commercial Free Copy function will only recognize commercial groups that have been marked by
COMMERCIAL ADVANCE.
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 automatically 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!
