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 60-second commercials.
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 FORWARD 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
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.
COMMERCIAL ADVANCE Display
Press 3 to switch between Display: BLUE or VIDEO.
• Select BLUE to display a blue background when the VCR advances

advances through the block of marked commercials.
