Answer
The VCR advances through a 3-minute commercial
block in about 8 to 12 seconds if the tape speed is
SLP. In SP, it takes about 25 to 35 seconds.

recording is finished.

commercials as desired.

SLP.

page 27), the VCR should advance through
commercials each time the tape is played back.
The tape stops at the end of the recording so that
any additional timer recordings can be performed.
Yes. marked recordings will
play in non- VCRs, but
commercials will not be advanced through.
No. If the interval between 2 or more timer programs
is not sufficient to mark the recording, marking will be
done after all recordings are complete and the power
goes off.
Marking will be resumed when the VCR's power is
turned off as long as the tape has not been ejected.
Please see the 3rd note on page 27.
Additional Notes:
• Because of the various ways in which commercials are broadcast, the VCR may not be able
to recognize all commercials.
• If a timer recording is scheduled for the middle of the night, please be aware that the VCR will
make some noise as it rewinds and fast forwards the tape while marking commercials.
