Introduction
Precautions
Notes on handling
Never disconnect the power cord from a wall outlet
7
while the player is turned on, unless it is in an
emergency. Doing so may cause malfunction.
When shipping the player, the original shipping
7
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,
7
near the player. Do not leave rubber or plastic
products in contact with the player for a long time.
They will leave marks on the fi nish.
The top and rear panels of the player may become
7
warm after a long period of use. This is not a
malfunction.
When not in use
For usual absence
7
Be sure to remove the disc from the player and turn
off the power.
Prolonged absence
7
Unplug the player from a wall outlet. (This will stop
the clock. Display “SETUP MENU” by pressing
SETUP, and reset the clock (
page 50, 57).)
About the volume level
The volume level of some commercial HD DVD and
DVD discs may seem lower than that of audio CDs,
other software, etc. If you turn up the volume of the TV
or amplifi er to play such discs, be sure to turn it back
down after playback fi nishes.
Playback restrictions
This owner’s manual explains the basic instructions
for this player. Some HD DVD discs or DVD video
discs are produced in a manner that allows specifi c or
limited operation during playback. As such, the player
may not respond to all operating commands. This is
not a defect in the player. Please refer to the notes on
compatible discs later in this Introduction and to the
discussion of DVD playback and features later in this
manual.
“ ” may appear on the TV screen during operation.
“ ” means that the operation is not permitted by the
player or the disc.
About software
Notes on locating
Place the player on a level surface. Do not use it on
7
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 player.
Before placing the player, make sure that the surface
can stand the weight of the player. Never place the
player in a high location to avoid damage to the
product or person by an accidental fall of the player.
When you place this player near a TV, radio, or VCR,
7
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 player as far away as practical from the
TV, radio, or VCR.
To avoid damage to this product, never place or
7
store the unit in direct sunlight; hot, humid areas;
or areas subject to excessive dust, oily smoke,
cigarette smoke or vibration.
Notes on cleaning
Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
Do not use any type of solvent, such as thinner or
7
benzine, as they may damage the surface of the
player.
Because of problems and errors that can occur during
the creation of HD DVD, DVD and CD software and/
or the manufacture of HD DVD, DVD and CD discs,
Toshiba cannot assure that this player will successfully
play every disc bearing the HD DVD, DVD or CD
logos. If you happen to experience any diffi culty
playing an HD DVD, DVD or CD disc on this player,
please contact Toshiba Customer Service.
Some differences
The HD DVD player operates more like a computer
and differently than a standard DVD player, In addition
to containing a microprocessor, it contains an
operating system, random access memory (RAM),
and an HD DVD drive. The operating system includes
software that is transferred to the RAM when the
machine is turned on and at other times during
operation. This transfer can take time. Therefore, when
you turn the HD DVD player on, it may take a little
while before it is ready to use. Likewise, other
functions may not be performed as quickly as they
would on other AV equipment. Please take these
factors into consideration as you use the HD DVD
player.

Features
Playback of HD DVD video discs
HD DVD video discs are high-density, high-capacity
discs.
7 The HD DVD disc standard has been approved by
the DVD forum.
7 HD DVD (single layer): 15 GB
HD DVD (dual layer): Maximum capacity of 30 GB
A single layer single sided disc (15 GB) has
capacity of about 8 hours in 1125 line high defi nition
picture; about 48 hours in 525 line standard
defi nition picture (depending on bitrate of pre recorded contents).
*1GB means 1,000,000,000 bytes.
7 HD DVD Twin Format Discs have both HD DVD
and DVD layers on one side. HD DVD Combination
DVD Discs have HD DVD material on one side and
standard DVD material on the other side. Because
both disc types are new, such discs may not operate
properly in this player.
7To view high-defi nition picture in HD DVD discs,
an HDTV display (720p, 1080i, 1080p) is required.
1080p picture viewing on this player requires HDMI
connection.
7Connect an HDTV set to the COMPONENT OUTPUT
jacks or the HDMI OUTPUT jack on this player.
7Some discs may require use of HDMI OUTPUT for
viewing of high resolution material.

mode or DVD video mode), and DVD-R
7 Playback of CD-RW and CD-R (Audio CD of CD-DA
format only; playback of MP3, WMA and other
non-CD-DA audio formats are not supported.)
Because HD DVD is a new format, disc compatibility
issues with new and existing format discs are
possible. Not all discs are compatible. If you
experience compatibility problems, please contact
Toshiba Customer Service.
Blu-ray Discs cannot be played on this player.
Internet connection feature (LAN port)
7 Some HD DVD discs enable you to access special
HD DVD sites. If an HD DVD site includes content
such as movie trailers, you can watch the content on

Step
To view high defi nition content, use the HDMI OUTPUT jack or the COMPONENT OUTPUT jacks to connect to a
TV. Some discs may require use of the HDMI OUTPUT jack for viewing of high resolution material.
1
Check the type of video input on your TV.
*Why HDMI connection is most recommended?
HD DVD and DVD video disc creators have the option to include copy protection instructions in their discs that prohibit
the output of some standard video or high defi nition video (original 720p, 1080i or 1080p or up-converted 480i or 480p)
from the COMPONENT OUTPUT jacks. If such instructions are present in the disc you are playing, you must use the
HDMI OUTPUT jack to view the disc in a high defi nition format and the COMPONENT OUTPUT jacks, if activated, will
output video only in 480i or 480p resolution.
Caution on connection
• Do not power this player using any power cord other than the one supplied with this player.
• Do not use the supplied power cord with any device other than this player.
Notes on connection
• When you connect the player to your TV, be sure to turn off the power and unplug both units from the wall outlet
before making any connections.
• Connect the player directly to your TV. If you connect the player to a VCR, TV/VCR combination, video selector or AV
amplifier, the playback picture may be distorted due to copy protection.

HDMI INPUT
Depending on the equipment
connected to this player, such
as a TV or a projector, no sound
may be output by the display.
In this case, set “Digital Out
HDMI” ( page 53) to “PCM”.
If sound still is not heard, use analog output.
HDMI cable (not supplied)
Finally connect the supplied
power cord to a wall outlet.

2
Connect the player to your TV.
Via HDMI input
HDMI stands for High Definition Multimedia Interface. HDMI transfers digital audio and uncompressed digital
video on a single cable. As a result, audio cables and video cables don’t need to be connected separately to a
device.
Playback
(Basic)
(Advanced)
Playback
connection
Internet
This player supports simultaneous output of video on its HDMI and component video ports. However, some discs may
restrict output of video on the component video ports when viewing high defi nition content or up-converted DVD content.
The resolution on the HDMI output will be the same as the resolution output on the component video output. Thus,
because the HDMI output can change automatically to match the maximum available resolution of your display, if you
connect both the HDMI output and component output, the resolution on the component output will change if the HDMI
output auto-adjusts
Notes
• Refer to the owner’s manual for the TV to be connected to this player for more information concerning HDMI connections.
• When the HDMI connection is not verified, an error message appears on the front panel display. In this case, disconnect
the HDMI cable then connect it again, or turn off the connected HDMI device then turn it on.
• HDMI output is digital only, DVI analog is not supported.
• HDMI is an evolving technology, so it is possible that some devices may not operate properly with this player.
• To get the most possible benefi t from Dolby Digital Plus, you should connect your HD DVD player to your AV receiver using
its HDMI input. If your AV receiver has this type of input, make sure it is connected to your HD DVD player and that the
input is set to use audio from HDMI (and not the SPDIF coaxial or optical input). If your AV receiver does not have an HDMI
input, then the next best choice is to use the SPDIF (coaxial or optical) input on your AV receiver.
• If you use the SPDIF optical output or analog outputs to connect your audio system and have the “Digital Out HDMI”
page 53) set to “Auto” or “PCM”, the audio output level from these jacks will be reduced when listening to a multi-
(
channel disc. To restore the audio output level, set “Digital Out HDMI” to “Downmixed PCM”.
