To get the entire 4-hour "Coast-to-Coast AM" show on one side of that
cassette, you'll need to record at 1/4 speed -- which the Versacorder does
very well.

yes. I know this.



Tell your Mom that there's a little slide switch on the bottom right (just
under the "Pause" tape key) marked "SPEED." Tell her to move it to the
left-side setting, marked "Quarter."


Yes I know this.



The Versacorder doesn't have the ability to be set to "skip" all
commercials -- in the C2CAM talk format,

It *says* it does though.

While you're listening at "quarter" speed, and a
commercial break comes up, switch the "Speed" switch to "Normal" and then
press the "Fast Forward" key while the recording is still playing.

She can't do this while sleeping.
