6Chapter 1Connections & SetupThings to Consider Before ConnectingComponentsProtect Components From Power Surges•Connect all components before plugging any power cords into the wall outlet.•Always turn off the TV and other components before you connect or disconnect any cables.Position Cables to Avoid Audio Hum or Interference•Insert all cable plugs firmly into their jacks.•Place any Audio/Video (A/V) cables to the side(s) of the TV’s back panel instead of straightdown the back after connecting components.•Try not to coil any twin-lead cables and keep them away from all A/V cables as much aspossible.•Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Safety Tips sheetpacked with your unit for detailed information.Protect Components From Overheating•Never block ventilation slots in any component. Arrange the components so that air cancirculate freely.•Do not stack components.•Allow adequate ventilation when placing components in a stand.•Place an amplifier or satellite receiver on the top shelf of a stand so heated air rising from itwill not flow around other components.Cable ConsiderationsThe RF coaxial cable supplied with your VCR carries both sound and picture information. This isthe cable used in all connection diagrams illustrated in this chapter.If your TV has A/V input jacks, you should use A/V cables (not supplied) to connect the VCR tothe TV. A/V cables provide better picture and sound quality than an RF coaxial cable. If youwould like to hook up your VCR using A/V cables, refer to the Advanced Connectioninformation on page 58 in the Other Information chapter of the manual.15708270 (VR661HF)(E) 04 Setup 2/7/01, 4:55 PM6

VCR FeaturesChapter 4 41Commercial Advance®This feature uses patented technology to detect and mark most commercials on your tape forany recording that is more than 15 minutes long. Once recording is finished, the VCR rewindsthe tape to the beginning of the recording and determines where the commercials are located. Itthen marks the beginning and end of the detected commercial segments, and when finished,returns the tape to the end of the recording. It does not erase commercials from the tape.During playback, the VCR automatically skips the detected commercial segments, or you canchose to manually skip them. This feature reduces three minutes of commercials toapproximately 8-12 seconds of fast forwarding in the SLP speed. You can select a backgrounddisplay of blue or see the video as the commercials are skipped.Because television signals do not indicate where commercials are located, this feature finds andmarks them through a set of formulas based on how television is broadcast today. Sincetelevision stations broadcast differently and insert their own commercials, you may experiencesome variations in this feature’s effectiveness. Station promotions, identifications, andannouncements are not considered commercials, but might be skipped. For more information,see “Questions and Answers About COMMERCIAL ADVANCE ” in the Reference section.All of the COMMERCIAL ADVANCE features are accessed through theCOMMERCIAL ADVANCE menu.1.
