Important notes about HD DVD
HD DVD with high-defi nition content required for HD viewing. Viewing high-defi nition content and up-converting DVD content may require an HDCP capable DVI or HDMI input on your display device. Up-conversion of DVD content will result in near HD picture quality. Firmware update may be required for some interactive features depending on content, which may also require an always-on broadband internet connection. Some features may require additional bandwidth. Some recordable media may not be supported. Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD and DTS support for up to
5.1 channels (DTS HD support for DTS core only). MP3/ WMA audio fi les not supported. HDMI audio support for PCM only. Because HD DVD is a new format that makes use of new technologies, certain disc, digital connection and other compatibility and/or performance issues are possible. This may, in rare cases, include disc freezing while accessing certain disc features or functions, or certain parts of the disc not playing back or operating as fully intended. If you experience such issues, please refer to the FAQ sections of www.toshibahddvd.com or www.tacp.toshiba. com for information on possible work-around solutions or the availability of fi rmware updates that may resolve your problem, or contact Toshiba Customer Solutions. Some features subject to delayed availability. 1080p capable display required for 1080p output resolution. In some cases, the included remote control may not operate additional devices or certain features of such devices, in which case, it is suggested that you use the original remote control for the applicable device. Use of CE-Link which is a feature based on HDMI-CEC requires an HDMI-CEC compatible display device. For 24p output, content that was created in 1080p / 24 frames/sec is required. Viewing 24p output requires an HD display capable of accepting a 1080p/24Hz signal. While every effort has been made at the time of publication to ensure the accuracy of the information provided herein, product specifi cations, confi gurations, system/component/ options availability are all subject to change without notice.
Note
• The fi rmware in this player can be updated. See
page 35 for
details.
Notes on web-enabled network content
Certain HD DVD discs may contain or have the capability of downloading studio-provided, web-enabled network content. To minimize any potential compatibility and/or connectivity issues, before viewing such content, it is recommended that you perform the fi rmware update process to ensure that your HD DVD player is using the latest fi rmware version. Do not unplug or turn off the player when downloading studio-provided, web-enabled network content. Doing so may cause data stored in the player’s persistent storage to be lost.
HD output jacks
• An HDMI jack for connecting a single cable to output video
and audio signals
• Component jacks
Certain system requirements
For high defi nition video playback:
• HD display (some discs may require HDCP capable input)
• HD DVD disc with HD content
For Dolby® Digital Plus and Dolby TrueHD multi-channel audio playback:
• A/V Receiver with HDMI™ multi-channel LPCM capable
audio input and 5.1 channel speaker setup.

You may fi nd that setting the output resolution of the player to match as closely as possible the native resolution of your display provides the best picture performance (e.g., 720p for 720p and 1080p for 1080p).
Note
• In case the menu of “Resolution Setting” disappears, make composite video (yellow) connection to restore it, then select the resolution which is compatible with the connected TV.
For best viewing of fi lm movie material (24p output)
HD DVD DVD-Video
Movies that are produced on fi lm, as opposed to video, are traditionally captured at a frame rate of 24 frames per second. Your player can maintain the 24 frames per second frame rate of such movies, allowing you to enjoy them in their native form. To enable this feature, connect an HD display capable of accepting a 1080p/24Hz signal and select “up to 1080p/24Hz.”
Note
• Most fi lm based HD DVDs display images at 24 frames per second and video based HD DVDs display images at 30 frames or 60 fi elds per second. Depending on the content, “up to 1080p/24Hz” may lower smoothness of playback and/or reduce vertical resolution. In the case of video based HD DVDs, we recommend that “up to 1080p/24Hz” setting is not used.
