COMMERCIAL ADVANCE Playback
Press 2 to switch between Playback: AUTO and MANUAL.
•Select AUTO to have the VCR automatically advance through the blocks of marked commercials.
It works with most 30, 45, and
A commercial group starting with the first two minutes or last two minutes of a recording will not automatically be skipped.
A commercial will not be skipped if a recording starts in the middle of a commercial segment, one isolated commercial is shown without others, or a commercial is longer than one minute. Press FWD on the VCR (FORWARD on remote) to scan through the commercial.
Part of a recorded program may be skipped if the program segment is between commercials and less than one minute or there are frequent dark and quiet scenes.
•Select MANUAL and the VCR won’t advance through the blocks of marked commercials until you press SEARCH.
To Override Automatic Skipping
If part of the program you’ve recorded is passed over, you can temporarily override the automatic skipping feature of COMMERCIAL ADVANCE.
1.While the desired portion of the program is being skipped, press the PLAY or STOP button on the remote control or VCR front panel.
2.To view the portion of the tape that was skipped, rewind the tape back to a position before the skipping started using the REVERSE (REV) button.
3.Press the PLAY button to start playback. The portion of the tape will no longer be skipped.
Automatic skipping will be enabled again after the VCR detects the end of the commercial group.
Notes: If you press SEARCH during playback of material other than commercials, the VCR advances to the end of the next “marked” commercial block and resumes playback.
The VCR resumes playback when it reaches the end of the marked commercials.
