- yes, you can program a delay between commands of up to 255 seconds. i
- used it to do a sequence to automatically search a tape in the VCR 2
- minutes forward, so i can skip through most breaks quickly and easily
- when watching a tape with commercials. my VCR is a no-frills model; i
- programmed the CP-8 to hit FF, wait 15 seconds (which i had to figure
- out with a little experimentation and a stopwatch) and then hit play
- again. works like a charm, assuming the commercial break is 2 minutes.
