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 n umber is allotted to each partition and these numbers are
called “title numbers”, “chapter numbers” or “tr ack numbers”.
CHAPTER 1
TRACK 1 TRACK 2 TRACK 3 TRACK 4 TRACK 5
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 , mak e
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.
NOTES:
• The finalization process may require from a few minutes 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 condition 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 using other players.

This DVD/VCR requires discs and recordings to meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal
playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different types
of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 or WMA files) and these require certain preexisting conditions (see above) to ensure compatible playback. Because this area of technology is still
evolving, Toshiba cannot guarantee that all recordable discs will produce optimal playback quality. The
technical criteria set forth in this owner’s manual are meant only as a guide.
Please be advised that you must obtain permission from the applicable copyright owners to download
copyrighted content, including music files, in any format, including the MP3 and WMA formats, prior to the
downloading thereof. Toshiba has no right to grant and does not grant permission to download any

• When playing back a video tape
or disc that is not recorded in Hi-Fi
stereo mode, the audio will automatically be monaural.
• When listening to a Hi-Fi video
tape, disc or MTS broadcast
through the RF OUT (UHF/VHF)
jack (Audio/Video cord not connected), the sound will be monaural.
When a MTS STEREO broadcast is received, the word “STEREO” will appear on
the screen and the program can be viewed
or recorded in stereo.
The Hi-Fi STEREO recording procedure is
the same as for normal recordings.
