About COMMERCIAL ADVANCE®
COMMERCIAL ADVANCE®is a feature in video
recorders that automatically skips or scans most com-
mercial messages during replay of a recorded televi-
sion broadcast.
Under controlled test conditions with major network
daytime and prime time broadcasts, almost all intra-
program commercials are eliminated.Actual results
may vary and will depend upon the quality of television
reception and the nature of the program recorded.
This feature records entire broadcasts including com-
mercials.When these recordings are played back, the
portions of the recording previously identified as con-
taining commercials can be automatically skipped or
scanned.Initiation of skipping or scanning can be per-
formed either automatically by this product or manually
by the viewer.
Notes:
•You can set CA PLAYBACKto OFF, SCAN or
SKIP.
•COMMERCIAL ADVANCE®feature operates only
when broadcasts received by this recorder are
recorded on its HDD.
•From the limitation of this recorder, you cannot use
COMMERCIAL ADVANCE®feature when broad-
casts are recorded from the external input.
Commercials that can be skipped orscanned by COMMERCIAL ADVANCE®:COMMERCIAL ADVANCE®detects the portion of mul-
tiple commercials that last 55 seconds or longer as a
commercial portion, and skips it.
