MOVIE ADVANCE® is a trademark of SRT, Inc. A Jerry Iggulden invention licensed in association with
Arthur D. Little Enterprises, Inc.

Follow these steps to enjoy MOVIE ADVANCE, a handy feature

that automatically finds the beginning of the movie on most

rented and purchased video tapes. You can also use MOVIE

ADVANCE to selectively watch or skip the previews.

1 INSERT TAPE
Insert a purchased/rented video in Deck 1.
MOVIE ADVANCE works in Deck 1 only.
Tapes must be recorded in SP with the
record safety tab removed.
2 OPEN “SEARCH MENU”
Press SEARCH/INDEX.
3 “IS THIS A PURCHASED/RENTED
MOVIE?”
The VCR will recognize that the tape is
missing the record safety tab, but must
verify that it is a purchased/rented movie
and not a personal recording. Press 1 for
“Yes” or 2 for “No.”
If you choose “Yes,” continue with Step 4.
If you choose “No,” the tape is a per-
sonal recording and MOVIE ADVANCE
will not be available. Try the other search
features starting on page 28.
