6Skip Commercials

Play a tape with marked commercials in the VHS deck. The VCR
will fast-forward through the commercials automatically:
•A commercial group that starts in the first two minutes or last
two minutes of a recording will not be skipped.
•A commercial will not be skipped if a recording starts in the
middle of a commercial segment, if one isolated commercial is
shown without others, or if a commercial is longer than one
minute.
Part of a recorded program may be skipped if the program
segment is between commercials and less than one minute; or if
there are frequent dark and quiet scenes.
To temporarily override automatic skipping of commercials,
press STOP while the VCR is fast-forwarding through a group of
commercials. Press REWIND to position the tape before the
commercial group, then press PLAY. This time when the
commercial group begins it will NOT be skipped. Automatic
skipping will resume for subsequent commercial groups.
