Mine has a commercial skip on the remote that automaticaly moves up 30 seconds through each commercial.

It also has fast forward and rewind like a regular DVD player.

What I really like about it is how different recordings you make on a disc are shown in "scene selection" type format so you choose which one you want to watch without looking all over like you would with a VHS tape.

I did not know a DVD had fast forward or rewind. I basically never use mine unless my grandchildren are here, and they work the remote.

Thanks for the info. Sales people have not been any help.
