most commonly asked questions about this feature.

Tape Operation (continued)

The most commonly asked questions about coMAtefiCiAt-AiiwwiCE* are answered below.

Question

How fast does the VCR advance through

commercials?

Are commercials advanced through only

when I playback a recording?

Answer

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.

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

Are commercials still recorded on the
tape in case I choose to view them
sometime?

Does COMMEfiCIAL-‘'ABfiMMCE* work in all

recording speeds?
Does the VCR advance through

commercials each time 1 playback tapes
which were recorded using

COtMfRCMt »ADKAMCE*?

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

Can 1 play my COMMEROAL-ABnMMee’
recordings in non-

COMMERCtAL>^-JUIIV!nMCE* VCRs?

Does the marking process interfere with
other programmed recordings?

What happens if 1 cancel the marking in
progress so 1 can use the VCR?

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

Yes. By setting the C/A PLAYBACK to MANUAL, see
page 27, you can view or advance through
commercials as desired.

Yes. COMMEfiOAL^^AamteB* works in SP, lp, and

SLP.
Yes. As long as C/A PLAYBACK is set to AUTO, see

page 27, the VCR should advance through
commercials each time the tape is played back.

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

Yes. marked recordings will
play in non-CQMMEftCWi^^iUiMlMCE* VCRs, but
commercials will not be advanced through.

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.
Marking will be resumed when the VCR's power is

turned off as long as the tape has not been ejected.
Please see the 3rd note on page 27.

Additional 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.

VCR & Cassette Information

Head Cleaning

Playing older or damaged tapes may
eventually cause video heads to
become clogged.

Video Head Clog Sensor

During playback, this
screen appears if
clogging is detected.
To remove screen,
press PLAY on the

remote or VCR.

Use “dry” type head cleaning

cassette only. (Part No. NV-

TCL30PT is recommended.)

Follow cleaning tape instructions
carefully. Excessive use of tape

can shorten head life.

If head clog symptoms persist,
contact your nearest Factory
Service Center or authorized
Service Center. (See page 40.)

Cleaning the VCR

Use a soft cloth or dusting

attachment of a vacuum cleaner to

remove dust from the ventilation

holes on the back sides and bottom

of the cabinet.

Plastic surfaces are easily

scratched and can be marred by

alcohol and various solvents. Avoid

excessive use of oil-based furniture

polishes since the materials used in

the cabinet will accumulate more

dust. We recommend using a

nonabrasive, antistatic cleaner and

polisher.
