A
ADVANCE ™ Feature
Recording and Playback
COMMERCIAL
A
ADVANCE™ 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 mode. You
can select a background of blue or see the video as the commercials are skipped.
After recording, the VCR rewinds the tape 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 broadcasted 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.
