Once recording is finished, 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 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 can chose to manually skip them. This feature reduces three minutes of commercials to approximately 8-12 seconds of fast forwarding in the SLP speed. You can select a background display of blue or see the video as the commercials are skipped. 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 feature’s effectiveness. Station promotions, identifications, and announcements 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 the COMMERCIAL ADVANCE menu.

It works with most 30, 45, and 60-second commercials. 0 Exit 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 FWD on the VCR (FORWARD on remote) 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. Timer Recordings and COMMERCIAL ADVANCE • Select MANUAL and the VCR won’t advance through the blocks of marked commercials until you press SEARCH. When using Timer Recordings to tape two back-to-back programs on the same channel, you may want to program each show separately so that the beginnings and ends of programs are not automatically skipped by COMMERCIAL ADVANCE. 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 (REV) 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 through the block of marked commercials. • Select VIDEO to display the recorded video when the VCR advances through the block of marked commercials. 42 15708270 (VR661HF)(E) 07 Ftrs Chapter 4 42 2/7/01, 4:56 PM VCR Features Movie Advance ® MOVIE ADVANCE helps you locate certain parts of prerecorded movies (rented or purchased).

Unlocking is the only way to turn on and use the VCR. Tracking Your VCR has automatic tracking which removes streaks and noise from the picture. Automatic tracking is activated when you insert a tape or turn on the VCR. Occasionally you may need to manually adjust tracking, especially if the tape was recorded on a different VCR. Use the TRACKING –/+ buttons on the VCR front panel or remote control to remove streaks and noise. You can also use tracking when pausing a tape to reduce the noise of the stilled picture. When manually adjusting the picture, automatic tracking is turned off. To turn automatic tracking back on, eject the tape and reinsert it. Note: Tracking has no effect when recording– only during playback. Hours Minutes 0:30:00 Seconds Time Counter The time counter shows the actual time used when recording or playing back a tape. The time counter helps locate the beginning or end of recorded events. It resets to 0:00:00 whenever a tape is ejected from the VCR. For example, if you record a 30–minute program at the beginning of a tape, rewind it, and then want to go to the end of the first program to start another recording: 1. Press the INFO button twice to display only the time counter. 2. Press the CLEAR button to reset the time counter to 0:00:00. 3.

Yes. The VCR rewinds and marks commercial segments after a recording is finished. How fast does this feature scan through commercial breaks?

Once a recording has been marked, does COMMERCIAL ADVANCE work each time the tape is played? Yes. If the Playback feature is set to AUTO, the marked commercials should be skipped each time the tape is played in a COMMERCIAL ADVANCE VCR. After marking commercials, is the tape left at the beginning or end of the recording? The tape is left at the end of the recording so it is in position to begin additional programmed recordings. Does the marking process interfere with other programmed recordings? No. If two or more recordings are programmed together without sufficient time to mark the first recording, marking will take place after all recordings are completed. What happens if the marking process is interrupted? Marking can be interrupted to allow use of the VCR. Marking will resume again when the VCR’s power is turned off as long as the tape has not been ejected from the VCR. Does COMMERCIAL ADVANCE work in all recording speeds? Yes, COMMERCIAL ADVANCE works in SP and SLP. Will COMMERCIAL ADVANCE marked recordings work in non-Commercial Advance VCRs?
