IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

13.LIGHTNING

To protect your unit from a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the unit due to lightning and power line surges.

14.POWER LINES

An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall onto or against such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits, as contact with them might be fatal.

15.OVERLOADING

Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

16.OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY

Do not push objects through any openings in this unit, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in fire or electric shock. Never spill or spray any type of liquid into the unit.

17.OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the unit, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges, Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

The recorder may not record, dub, or edit some DVDRAM discs, because they are edited/recorded with another manufacture’s equipment or PC, contain a large number of titles, or have little remaining capacity. Also, a DVD-RAM disc may not be edited or recorded if its title contains still pictures.

When you load a DVD-RAM disc for PC, “INCORECT DISC” may appear on screen. In this case please format the disc to use with this recorder.

DVD-RAM discs formatted in UDF2.0 on a PC are not compatible with this recorder. Before using these discs, initialize them on this recorder.

This recorder complies with current copyright protection technology and can copy a disc only when the disc permits copying once. When there is no indication on the disc, copying will not be allowed. Such an indication on a disc is required also for the Library Management database.

DVD-RW

The disc can be erased and used again about 1,000 times.

Only the VR mode can be used for Ver.1.0 discs.

With Ver.1.1/1.2 discs, you can record by selecting the VR mode or Video mode.

When you record in the VR mode, you can repeatedly record and erase. By erasing unnecessary titles, you effectively increase remaining time.

When you record in the Video mode, you can record until the disc becomes full.

When you use the Video mode, you can newly record on the disc by formatting the disc. However, if the disc is formatted, all the recorded contents will be erased.

10

DVD-R

You can record on the disc only in the Video mode.

You can record until the disc becomes full.

Finalizing the discs allows playback on other DVD players. However, the finalized discs can no longer be recorded.

Discs can be recorded to repeatedly until they are finalized.

NOTES:

There are some players that cannot playback discs that were recorded with this unit. We cannot guarantee the playback with other units.

This unit can record on DVD-RAM/RW/R discs that are 8 cm in diameter.

This unit cannot record on CD-RW/R.

Recording format

This unit has two modes for formatting discs for recording: VR mode and Video mode.

When a blank, new disc is loaded into this unit, the automatic format function starts to format the disc. (For the disc format setting in this step, see page 28).

VR mode

This mode can be used for DVD-RAM/-RW.

In this mode, the discs can be recorded and edited repeatedly.

The disc recorded in this mode can be played back with other DVD-RW-compatible players.

When a Ver.1.1 CPRM or Ver. 1.2 disc is used, you can record a “Copy Once” program (see page 54).

Video mode

This mode can be used for DVD-R and DVD-RW (Ver.1.1/1.2).

When you finalize the disc after recording, the disc recorded with this unit can be played back with other DVD players.

Recording, editing or playback of an unfinalized disc can be done only with this unit. However, there are some limitation to editing operations.

In this mode, you cannot record a “Copy Once” program (see page 54).

When you record a TV program of a bilingual broadcast, only one of the audio modes can be recorded. You have to select it.

Format modes that can be used with each disc

Title/Chapter/Track

A DVD-Video has large partitions called “Titles”, and smaller partitions within them called “Chapters”.

A music CD has other partitions called “Tracks”. A number is allotted to each partition and these numbers are called “title numbers”, “chapter numbers” or “track numbers”.

When recording in the VR mode

One-time recording is set to 1 title (1 chapter). However, if you stop recording temporarily or erase scenes by editing, the chapter will automatically be partitioned. The interval between chapters can be specified. (See page 32).

When recording in the Video mode

One-time recording is set to 1 title. In recording, chapters are set automatically. The interval between chapters can be specified. (See page 32).

NOTES:

The title, chapter and track are numbered, but some discs may not record the numbers.

Recording on DVD-R/RW in the Video mode is a new standard approved at the 2000 DVD forum. Conformity to this standard varies with each DVD player manufacturer. Some models of DVD player or DVDROM drive, therefore, will not playback recorded videos.

Disc playback in other players

DVD-RW/R recorded in this unit can be finalized. The disc can be played back in other players that can playback DVD-RW and DVD-R.

For more information on finalization, see “FINALIZE” in “Setting the disc” (page 28).

When recording in the VR mode

Even if a DVD-RW disc recorded in the VR mode is finalized, you can record or edit by cancelling the finalization. (See “UNDO FINALIZE” on page 29). When you playback the disc with another player, make sure that the DVD player supports DVD-RW.

When recording in the Video mode

When a disc recorded in the Video mode is finalized, it cannot be recorded onto any more. Therefore, before finalization, be sure to perform all desired recording. After finalization, a title list that can be used by the DVD

player is automatically created.

Introduction

 

NOTES:

 

• The finalization process may require from a few min-

 

 

utes up to 1 hour depending on the disc type and the

 

 

amount of free space on the disc.

 

A DVD-RW Ver.1.1/1.2 recorded in the Video mode

 

 

cannot be recorded or edited after finalization, but if

 

 

you format the disc by erasing all the content, you

 

 

can again record on this disc.

 

A finalized disc may not play because of the condi-

 

 

tion of the DVD or the compatibility with the player

 

 

used for playback.

 

Some players may not playback the discs recorded

 

 

with this unit. We cannot guarantee the playback us-

 

 

ing other players.

 

On Video CDs

This DVD supports Video CDs equipped with the PBC (Version 2.0) function. (PBC is the abbreviation of Playback Control.) You can enjoy two playback variations depending on types of discs.

Video CD not equipped with PBC function (Version 1.1)

Sound and movie can be played on this DVD/VCR in the same way as an audio CD.

Video CD equipped with PBC function (Version 2.0)

In addition to operation of a Video CD not equipped with the PBC function, you can enjoy playback of interactive software with search function by using the menu displayed on the TV screen (Menu Playback). Some of the functions described in this owner’s manual may not work with some discs.

Toshiba is not liable for any damage or loss caused directly or indirectly by the malfunction of this DVD/ VCR, including, without limitation, any one of the following:

Failure to record contents intended to be recorded by the consumer.

Failure to edit contents as intended by the consumer.

When a DVD-RAM disc or a DVD-R disc created on this recorder is used (e.g., insertion, playback, recording or editing) in another DVD player, recorder or personal computer drive.

When a DVD-RAM disc or a DVD-R disc that is used in the manner described in the immediately preceding bullet point is used again in this recorder.

When a DVD-RAM disc or a DVD-R disc that was recorded in another DVD recorder, or in a personal computer drive is used in this recorder.

Discs recorded in this recorder may not operate as expected on other DVD players, recorders or personal computer drives.

Caution:

Never throw batteries into a fire.

Notes:

Be sure to use AAA size batteries.

Dispose of batteries in a designated disposal area.

Batteries should always be disposed of with the environment in mind. Always dispose of batteries in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

If the remote control does not operate correctly, or if the operating range becomes reduced, replace batteries with new ones.

When necessary to replace batteries in the remote control, always replace both batteries with new ones. Never mix battery types or use new and used batteries in combination.

Always remove batteries from remote control if they are dead or if the remote control is not to be used for an extended period of time. This will prevent battery acid from leaking into the battery compartment.
