RCA VR704HF manual Commercial Advance, Commercials from the tape

OTHER FEATURES

COMMERCIAL ADVANCE®

COMMERCIAL ADVANCE is patented technology that detects and marks most commercials on your tape for any recording that is more than 15 minutes long. After recording, the VCR rewinds the tape to the beginning of the recording and determines where the commercials are located. It then marks the beginning and end of the detected commercial segments, and when finished, returns the tape to the end of the recording. It does not erase

commercials from the tape.

During playback, the VCR automatically skips the detected commercial segments, or you can chose to manually skip them. This feature reduces three minutes of commercials to approximately 8-12 seconds of fast forwarding in the SLP speed. You can select a background display of blue or see the video as the commercials are skipped.

Because television signals do not indicate where commercials are located, this feature finds and marks them through a set of formulas based on how television is broadcast today. Since television stations broadcast differently and insert their own commercials, you may experience some variations in this feature’s effectiveness. Station promotions, identifications, and announcements are not considered commercials, but might be skipped. For more information, see “Questions and Answers About COMMERCIAL ADVANCE ” in the Reference section. All of the COMMERCIAL ADVANCE features are accessed through the COMMERCIAL ADVANCE menu.
