Introduction

Precautions

Notes on handling

Never disconnect the power cord from a wall outlet while the recorder is not in standby mode, unless it is in an emergency. Doing so may cause malfunction. When shipping the recorder, the original shipping carton and packing materials come in handy. For maximum protection, repack the unit as it was originally packed at the factory. Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near the recorder. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the recorder for a long time. They will leave marks on the finish. The top and rear panels of the recorder may become warm after a long period of use. This is not a malfunction.

When not in use

For usual absence Be sure to remove the disc from the recorder and turn off the power. Prolonged absence Unplug the recorder from a wall outlet.

Notes on locating

Place the recorder on a level surface. Do not use it on a shaky or unstable surface such as a wobbly table or inclined stand. The loaded disc may dislodge from its proper position and cause damage to the recorder. Before placing the recorder, make sure that the surface can stand the weight of the recorder. For safety, avoid placing the recorder in a high location, as an accidental fall of the recorder may cause personal injury. When you place this recorder near a TV, radio, or VCR, the playback picture may become poor and the sound may be distorted depending on the condition and location of said equipment. In such an event, place the recorder as far away much as possible from the TV, radio, or VCR. Do not install this product in an area where it will be exposed to large amounts of oily smoke, steam or dust, as such exposure could result in fire or electric shock. Cigarette smoke, dust etc. can cause the product to malfunction.

Notes on cleaning

Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.

For stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth (containing a mild detergent) to wipe the unit. Ensure the unit is unplugged before you do this. Use a dry cloth to wipe it dry. Do not use any type of solvent, such as thinner or benzine, as they may damage the surface of the recorder. If you use a chemical saturated cloth to clean the unit, follow that product’s instructions.

To obtain a clear picture

The recorder is a high technology, precision device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn down, the picture quality deteriorates. To obtain a clear picture, we recommend regular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or parts replacement) every 1,000 hours of use depending on the operating environment. For details, contact your nearest dealer.

Notes on antennas

Image and sound quality depend very much on signal reception. Reception may be poor in weak signal areas. In this event, consult your dealer, or purchase a commercially available antenna booster. Refer to the booster’s instruction manual for installation details.

Notes on recording and editing

Power Outage

When you record/edit important content, make trial operations beforehand to confirm the recorder can function properly. Toshiba does not compensate for content which was not recorded/edited because of some malfunction of this product or discs during operation, and is not liable for incidental damages (such as profit loss or interruption of business, etc.) produced in such conditions. When the power cord is disconnected or when a power failure occurs during any operation of this product, all contents recorded in this recorder may be erased. Depending on the channel or program, an excessive sound input level may cause noise or cut of recorded sound. Adjust the initial setting of the recording level when necessary. If a program you have set a timer recording includes copy restriction signals, it may not be recorded. When programming a recording, confirm that a program you want to record is not copy-restricted.

Exemptions

Toshiba is not liable for any damage caused by fires, natural disaster (such as thunder, earthquake, etc.), acts by third parties, accidents, owner’s intentional or unintentional misuse, or uses in other improper conditions. Toshiba is not liable for incidental damages (such as profit loss or interruption in business, modification or erasure of recorded data, etc.) caused by use or inability to use of this product. Toshiba is not liable for any damage caused by neglect of the instructions described in the owner’s manual. Toshiba is not liable for any damage caused by misuse or malfunction through simultaneous use of this product and the connected equipment or software that Toshiba is not concerned with. Toshiba does not compensate for contents which were not recorded/edited because of some malfunctions of this product or discs during operation, and is not liable for incidental damages (such as profit loss or interruption in business, etc.) produced by such conditions.

After a power outage the clock display will flash. Set the clock to the correct time.

Notes on the unit

Do not give a shock or shake (especially during operation). Do not use in a shaky or unstable location. Hold the unit horizontally. Do not cover the ventilation holes for the cooling fan of the unit. Do not use in a place where the temperature rises or changes rapidly. Do not disconnect the power plug from a wall outlet while the unit is turned on. Do not disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet or break the power supply to the unit during recording or playing. Before disconnecting the power plug, be sure to press the power button and make sure the unit ends the finishing process and power turns off completely. If the power plug is disconnected or power supply is disrupted while the unit is recording, all recorded content will be erased. Toshiba is not liable for any damage or loss of recorded data caused by shock, shakes, misoperation or malfunction.

Precautions (Continued)

Notes on moisture condensation

Moisture condensation damages the unit. Please read the following carefully.

Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you pour a cold drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of water form on the outside of the glass. In the same way, moisture may condense on the optical pick-up lens inside this unit, one of the most crucial internal parts of the unit.

Moisture condensation occurs during the following cases.

When you bring the unit directly from a cold place to a warm place. When you use the unit in a room where you just turned on the heater, or a place where the cold wind from the air conditioner directly hits the unit. In summer, when you use the unit in a hot and humid place just after you move the unit from an air conditioned room. When you use the unit in a humid place.
