The most commonly asked questions about CC_AME_C_,-_ANCI

®are answered below.

How fast does the VCR advance through
commercials?

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.

Are commercials advanced through only
when I playback a recording?

Yes. The commercials are not marked until after the
recording is finished.

Are commercials
in case I choose

Yes. By setting the C/A PLAYBACK to MANUAL, see
page 23, you can view or advance through commercials
as desired.

Does the VCR advance through
commercials each time I playback tapes
which were recorded using
COtv_ERCIAL
..AI_FJ_ICle?

Yes. COtvlI_E,_CIAL..ADVI_hlC£
_ works

in SP, LP, and SLP.

Yes. As long as C/A PLAYBACK is set to AUTO, see
page 23, the VCR should advance through commercials
each time the tape is played back.

After marking commercials, does the VCR
stop at the end of the tape, or rewind to the
beginning?

The tape stops at the end of the recording so that any
additional timer recordings can be performed.

Can I play my COt_tERCI_..AIDV._I¢Ir

Yes. CC_W_ERC_,*_E

be advanced through.

Does the marking process interfere with
other programmed recordings?

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.

What happens if I cancel the marking in
progress so I can use the VCR?

Marking will be resumed when the VCR's power is turned
off as long as the tape has not been ejected.

What if part of my program is advanced
through along with the commercials?

Please see the 3rd note on page 23.

Additional

_ marked recordings will play in
VCRs, but commercials will not

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.
