:: COMMERCIAL ADVANCE
If you ever wanted to watch TV without commercials, then COMMERCIAL
ADVANCE is what you’ve been waiting for. COMMERCIAL ADVANCE is a
feature that allows you to choose whether to skip most commercial messages dur-
ing playback of recorded shows. Commercials are still recorded with COMMER-
CIAL ADVANCE enabled, though you now have the choice to watch them or
not—automatically.
Commercials will not be skipped during the first and last two minutes when play-
ing back recorded shows. This is to prevent confusion when playback is first
started. Additionally, shows delayed within a few minutes of the live broadcast
will not skip commercials, even if COMMERCIAL ADVANCE is enabled. You
can still watch recorded shows with commercials by turning COMMERCIAL
ADVANCE off.
Setting COMMERCIAL ADVANCE Default
Follow these steps to set your default to play back each show commercial free. If you do this, you won’t have to enable COMMER-
CIAL ADVANCE for each individual show.

• Although 96% detection rates are achieved in controlled lab test-
ing, in real world use, you may experience between 70%-90%
accuracy in detecting and skipping commercials.
• Please note that the COMMERCIALADVANCE feature is greatly
influenced by signal source, channel and program. In some cases
100% of the commercials may be skipped in a particular program
while none of the commercials are skipped in another.
• Occasionally a portion of the programming may be inadvertently
skipped.If so, press Instant Replay to go back 7 seconds at a time,
or press QUICK SKIP to jump ahead 30 seconds at a time to reach
the desired point in the show. You can also press Commercial
Advance to turn this feature on or off.
