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.

Notes
• DO NOT connect the DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT
BITSTREAM/PCM jack of the recorder to the AC-3 RF input of a Dolby Digital Receiver. This input on your A/V Receiver is reserved for Laserdisc use only and is incompatible with the DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT BITSTREAM/PCM jack of the recorder.
• Connect the DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT BITSTREAM/PCM
jack of the recorder to the “OPTICAL” input of a Receiver or Processor.
• Refer to the owner’s manual of the connected equipment
as well.
• When you connect the recorder to other equipment, be
sure to turn off the power and unplug all of the equipment from the wall outlet before any connections.
• The output sound of the recorder has a wide dynamic
range. Be sure to adjust the audio amplifier’s volume to a moderate listening level. Otherwise, the speakers and your hearing may be damaged by a sudden high volume sound.
• Turn off the amplifier before you connect or disconnect the
recorder’s power cord. If you leave the amplifier power on, the speakers may be damaged.

Caution
• When you are connecting (via the DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT BITSTREAM/PCM jack) an AV decoder that does not have Dolby Digital, Digital Theater Systems (DTS) or MPEG2 decoding function, be sure to set “Audio out select” to “PCM” from the on-screen displays ( page 42). Otherwise, high volume sound may damage your hearing as well as the speakers.
• When playing DTS-encoded discs (DVD video discs and audio CDs), excessive noise may be output from the analog stereo jacks. To avoid possible damage to the audio system, you should take proper precautions when the analog audio out (L/R) jacks of the recorder are connected to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround™ playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround™ decoder system must be connected to the DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT BITSTREAM/PCM jack of the recorder.

Notes on summer time on this recorder
The recording system of this recorder always conforms to its own actual clock even at the moment it gains or loses 1 hour of
shift to/from summer time. Therefore, there may be some inconsistency in the display’s digits or actual operations on that occasion. For example, on the first Sunday in April, the actual recording length of a programmed recording from 1:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m. will be 2 hours, not 3. Be sure to give a careful consideration to your setting or reading on-screen if a recording period includes the moment of time shift.
This recorder’s clock cannot lose 1 hour on the last Sunday in October even if you set “Auto or Use” at step 5, unless it
once gained 1 hour in April.

If you set Summer time (Daylight-Saving time) to “Auto and “Time zone to Manual, a small time discrepancy may occur around the hours of DST start/end.

In the case of a programmed recording with the DST change-over point to Daylight-saving time, if the continuous recording time exceeds the limit due to a time discrepancy caused by Daylight-saving time during recording, the recording stops on that point.
