ABOUT THE HARD DISK DRIVE (HDD)
Like any HDD, the HDD in the recorder is a fragile device that is susceptible to partial or complete failure if it is jarred or as a result of use over time. It will not last forever. Therefore, do not use the HDD for long-term storage of the programs you wish to retain. (If portions of the HDD become damaged, programs recorded on those portions may exhibit pixelisation or blocked noise when played back. Repeated playback of the program may cause the problem to get worse and, eventually the program may become unplayable. If you noticed such noise in a program that you want to save, you should archive the program using a VCR as soon as possible and delete the affected program.) A periodical cleanup of the HDD is advisable by doing a Format Hard Disk. Refer to page
36.
If it becomes necessary to service your recorder, it may be necessary to delete some or all of the programs on the HDD.
Using the recorder outside the operating temperature range (5ºC ~ 40ºC) may cause the HDD to be non­functional (even when the recorder is powered on) or to display with error status. Use this recorder only within the operating temperature.
The internal HDD has a limited life span that is dependent on the frequency of usage. Extremely heavy usage shortens the life span and causes the HDD to function abnormally. When all the recorded programs start to show noise in the display, it may be time to replace the HDD. Consult your local dealer for replacement of HDD.
If you see no signs of activity in the HDD during recording or playback, stop using the recorder and remove the power plug from the wall socket immediately. Consult the local dealer for service. Ignoring this condition may cause the damage of the HDD to be aggravated.
NOTES ON RECORDING
When you record important contents, make trial operations beforehand to ensure the recorder can function properly. Toshiba does not compensate for content that was not recorded because of some malfunction of this product 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.
If a program you have set a timer recording includes copy restriction signals, it may not be recorded. When programming a recording, confirm that the program you want to record is not copy-restricted.
NOTES ON COPYRIGHT
It is forbidden by law to copy, broadcast, show, broadcast on cable and play in public copyrighted material without permission.
This product incorporates copyright protection technology related to A/V media, that is designed to prevent copying and hence upon the detection of such signal, the display may be prohibited. This applies to timer recording as well.
This product incorporates copyright protection technology that is protected by method claims of certain U.S. patents and other intellectual property rights owned by Macrovision Corporation and other rights owners. Use of this copyright protection technology must be authorized by Macrovision Corporation, and is intended for home and other limited viewing uses only unless otherwise authorized by Macrovision Corporation. Reverse engineering or disassembly is prohibited.

NOTES ON HANDLING
This unit contains an internal HDD, which is susceptible to surrounding environmental changes such as shock, vibration and temperature. Take note of the following points to avoid loss of recorded content:
1. Do not apply shock or vibration to the unit.
2. Do not use the unit on a shaky or unstable place.
3. Do not install the unit on a non-flat surface.
4. Do not cover up the ventilation holes of the unit.
5. Do not use the unit in a high temperature environment or environment with extreme changes in
temperature.
6. Unless in an emergency, do not remove the power plug from the wall socket while HDD access
(read/write) is in progress (as indicated by the Front Panel display). This may result in loss of recorded
data.
7. Toshiba is not liable to any damage or loss of recorded data due to shock, vibration and misuse.
8. Never remove the top cover, disassemble or modify the unit. These actions may cause the recorded
data to be destroyed. Moreover, removing the top cover voids the warranty even if the product is within
the warranty period.
When the unit is in use, sounds due to the internal HDD disk movement, sometimes even during standby mode. This is not a malfunction.
When moving the unit to a remote location, cover the unit with a piece of cloth to prevent injury. Also, take care not to shake or apply shock to the unit.
The top cover or rear panel may become warm after operating for a long time. This is not a malfunction.
Do not use insecticide sprays, etc., near the unit. Also, do not leave rubber or plastic objects in contact with the unit for long periods of time. This may cause discoloring of this unit’s finish.
Keep the original packing that this unit came in and use it to re-pack the unit when moving or transporting.
ABOUT CLEANING
Do not use solvents such as benzene, alcohol or thinner to clean the unit. These solvents may distort the chassis or damage its finish. If rubber or vinyl products remain in contact with the unit for a long time, a stain may result.
When the unit becomes dirty, clean it gently with a piece of soft, dry cloth.
When the unit is very dirty, remove the power plug from the wall socket and use a piece of damp cloth to wipe the unit clean. Finish the cleaning with a piece of dry cloth.

Ź Video Format Auto-Switch
The HDD-J35 recorder has the capability of automatically switching the output video format to match the native video format coming from the broadcaster. This reduces possible distortion due to up/down conversions.

When you are interrupted by other matters while watching live TV program, you can now pause the TV program by activating the time slip function. The live broadcast will be temporarily stored on the hard disk. Having finished the matters, you can continue watching from the scene paused.

Ź Dolby® Digital
Dolby® Digital is the surround sound technology used in theatres showing the latest movies, and is now available to reproduce this realistic effect in the home. You can enjoy motion pictures and live concert TV programs with this dynamic realistic sound by connecting HDD-J35 to a 6-channel amplifier equipped with a Dolby® Digital decoder.
Ź Auxiliary Input (L1/L2)
You may connect your Cable TV box and DVD player via the Composite, Component Video and Stereo Audio input connectors located at the back of the HDD-J35 recorder and display through HDMI output.

INSTALLING THE RECORDER
Follow steps A to C below. Your recorder will be ready to display digital programs on your TV.
STEP A: CONNECTIONS
DO NOT PLUG THE RECORDER INTO THE MAINS YET.
Before you use this recorder, it is necessary to connect it to your TV.
1
CONNECTING TO TV
1-1.
Disconnect the antenna cable from your TV and connect it to the “ANT. 1 IN” terminal on the back of the
recorder.
1-2.
To achieve RF loop-through for the in-built twin RF tuners, connect the RF Coaxial Connectors (supplied) to the
“RF 1 OUT” and “ANT. 2 IN” terminals as shown in the diagram below.
1-3.
The “RF 2 OUT” provides you a RF loop-through function to receive analogue TV programs as well as digital
programs (for Integrated Digital TVs only). Use an RF coaxial cable (not supplied) to connect the HDD-J35 “RF 2
OUT” terminal to TV’s or VCR’s antenna input.

Connections to TV – Video Connection
In the accessory box, you will find two sets of cables: One is the component video cable (with red, green and
blue connectors) and the other is the Audio/Video cable (with yellow, white and red connectors).
For better video quality, it is recommended that you use the HDMI cable, the Mini D-Sub 15-pin cable or the
RGBHV video cable (with 5 RCA connectors). These cables are not included in the HDD-J35 package.
HD MODE Switch selection is essential for several outputs. Refer to the HD MODE Switch table on page 71 for
making the correct switch selection according to your output connection.
You have 6 choices for connecting the video output from the recorder to your TV. Use only one of the following
connections (with (a), (b) or (c) being the best choice):
(a) HDMI connection: If your TV has HDMI input, use a HDMI cable (not supplied) to connect the
recorder to your TV. HDMI supports video and multi-channel audio in a single cable, therefore
separate connection for audio is not necessary.

Mini D-Sub 15-pin cable (not supplied) to connect the recorder to your TV. Set the HD MODE Switch
(refer to page 12) to RGB, and then connect the RGB connector on the rear of the recorder to the
corresponding socket on the TV.
Do not connect any PC monitor to the recorder via Mini D-Sub 15-pin cable.
