How to delete or pause for commercials using a Philips DVDR 3390?

Just like it says in the title. Got this because my Panasonic DMR E55 died. It was always finicky, it was getting so that I would have to bang on it so that it would be able to accept the blank dvd put into. It was always going into standby mode. I got the Philips from Wal Mart on Saturday, it occurred to me there was no pause on this. I guess I could stop it for every commercial break and it could make a new chapter, but is there a smoother way to get rid of all the commercials from tv shows?

The only way I found to delete is to make a chapter mark before and after the stuff, then delete the chapter... takes about three minutes, each item, because every time you hit the edit button it goes back to the beginning of the disc.

But, there IS a pause button. You can hit pause -- the button looks like || -- and then REC. Works great, especially saving TiVo content.

Ya, I found it like an hour after I posted on here. I had to read the manual, and go in deep, they really don't tell you some of the functions on the remote legend. So if you don't really need to use the pause for your recordings, like just when you record movies, you wouldn't have known about it.
