Notes:
• It takes several minutes for the VCR to
mark the recording.
• The VCR marks commercials in a timer
recording after the recording stops (see
“Automatic Timer Recording” on Page 37).
If the interval between two timer recordings
is not long enough to allow commercial
marking, the VCR waits until after the next
timer recording.
The VCR can store up to eight timer
recording settings or 40 commercial loca-
tions in memory at one time. When the
memory becomes full, the remaining com-
mercials are not marked.
The Commercial Advance feature turns off
if there is a power failure.
If you rewind the tape and start another
recording before power is turned off, com-
mercials might not be correctly marked.
