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.
NEC-NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE
S2898A

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 27).
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 28.)
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.
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 V er.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

• 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.
NOTE:
When using a Cable TV system, stereo TV programs may be transmitted over a mono cable channel. In this case the word “STEREO” will
not appear and the sound will be in mono.
Output selection
When viewing an MTS STEREO TV program, or playing a prerecorded
Hi-Fi STEREO on video tape, press AUDIO SELECT to select how the
audio will be heard through the speakers. Normally set to the Hi-Fi
STEREO position, this button can be set to the MONO position if the
stereo audio is of poor quality. The “R” and “L” positions allow the audio
from the Right or Left Hi-Fi channel to be heard over both TV speakers.
This button has no effect when viewing a monaural audio program.
Each time when you press the button, output selection display appears
on the screen for several seconds. Refer to the chart below.
Output selection for DVD
You can switch between the left or right channel and stereo only
when playing a disc on which a bilingual broadcast was recorded in
the DVD-RW VR mode. It is not possible to switch between channels
otherwise as only the channel selected in the setting of SAP (Second
Audio Program; ON or OFF) is recorded in the DVD-RW Video mode
or DVD-R (see page 31).
NOTE:
When a stereo or monaural broadcast is recorded, either stereo or
monaural, respectively, is played back and it is not possible to switch
between channels.

Editing the disc
Editing the disc
This section explains how to edit
the recorded contents on DVDRWs. However, the items that you
can edit vary with the recording
formats. In VR mode, you can edit
various title menus, whereas in
Video mode, you can edit only a
few items.
NOTES:
• This unit cannot record or edit a
disc which was recorded or edited
using another DVD recorder.
• You cannot edit or record the disc
on which disc protection is set. In
such a case, be sure to cancel the
disc protection before starting the
operation.
• When a scene has been erased,
the selected position for erasing
may vary slightly from the actual
erased position.
Title menu
When the content is recorded, a title name that includes the date, time,
channel number and other information is created automatically.
The title menu can be used when you playback after confirming the
contents (see page 34), or when you check the contents recorded on
the disc.
Original title
The titles explained above are called original titles; these will be added
with every recording. In VR mode you can do various editing operations i.e., you can rename the titles, or add the chapter marks. In addition, you can erase the unnecessary titles to increase the disc space.
Playlist
You can create a playlist based on the original titles.
You can combine or erase undesired scenes.
If you create a playlist it will become the primary list used by the disc.
If you create a playlist to customize your viewing preferences, and
choose to delete it, the original titles will not be affected. It is recommended to create and edit the playlist to prevent important titles from
being erased accidentally.
If you create a playlist, both the original title and playlist will be displayed on the title menu.
Editable items
The items that can be edited are different between original title and
playlist. For the disc in Video mode, only the title name can be edited.
The items can be edited in each are as follows:
Editing items
Playback
Adding chapter mark
Combining chapters
Erasing scenes
Erasing titles
Renaming titles
Creating playlist
Combining titles
If you finalize the disc in Video mode, the title menu is automatically
changed. Thumbnail image and recording information will not appear
in the title menu after finalizing.
Using these editing functions to modify copyrighted content for any
purpose other than your private viewing may be prohibited under
the Copyright Laws of the United States and other countries, and
may subject you to civil and criminal liability.

Safety precautions to be followed during servicing:
1.
Parts marked with an are critical parts for safety. Replace only with the one described in the parts
list.
2.
Before returning the DVD product to the customer, make the appropriate leakage current check or
resistance measurements to ensure that exposed parts are properly insulated from the supply circuit.
A leakage current check is recommended for this unit. Plug the AC line cord directly into a 120V 60Hz AC
outlet (do not use an isolation transformer for this check). Use a leakage current tester (Fig. 1) or a
metering system which complies with Underwriters Laboratories (UL 1492). Measure for current from all
exposed metal parts of the cabinet to a known earth ground: particularly, any exposed metal part having a
return path to the chassis. Any current measured must not exceed 0.5mA. Any measurement not within
the limits outlined above are indicative of a potential shock hazard and corrective action must be taken
before returning the unit to the customer.
