COMMERCIALAADVANCE™ Feature
COMMERCIALAADVANCEª is a patented technology that detects and marks
most commercials on your tape for any recording that is more than 15 minutes
long. During playback, the VCR automatically skips the detected commercial
segments or you can choose to manually skip them. This feature reduces three
minutes of commercials into approximately 8-12 seconds of fast forwarding in the
SLP speed. You can select a background of blue or see the video as the
commercials are skipped.
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 returns the tape to the end of the
recording. It does not erase the commercials from the tape.
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 featureÕs
effectiveness. Station promotions, identifications, and announcements are not
considered commercials Ñ but might be skipped.
