Insert a videotape in the VHS deck and record a TV show using
one of the three basic methods:
Basic Recording; see page 56.
One Touch Recording; see page 58.
Timer Recording; see page 59.

6Stop Recording

Press STOP or allow the preset recording time to run out; e.g., One
Touch Recording and Timer Recording both have preset recording
times.

7Confirm or Cancel

When recording is stopped, the VCR will alert you that “The VCR
will begin marking commercials in 59 seconds...”. No action is
required to mark the commercials on the recording. Simply wait 59
seconds for the timer to count down. To cancel, press STOP after
the countdown finishes and commercials will not be marked.

When the 59 seconds have elapsed, the VCR will rewind to the
start of the recording, and then search forward and mark groups of
commercials. This process takes approximately 15 minutes for
every hour of recorded tape. The VCR will stop when finished. To
watch your tape without commercials, rewind the tape and proceed
