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.

INTRODUCTION
TOSHIBA’s HDD-J35 Digital High Definition Receiver and HDD Recorder is the first of its kind that can do
recording and playback of digital high definition programs. With its twin Digital Tuners and built-in HDD, this
latest Toshiba’s digital video creation lets you embark on a true digital lifestyle.
FEATURES
Ź HD 1080i/720p/576p Capability
High Definition (HD) brings a wide-screen format to the home television as well as a sharper picture. This unit
accepts all DTV formats, including 1080i, 720p and 576p.
Ź Large-Capacity Hard Disk Drive
With a 160GB HDD, this unit allows you to record around 18 - 22 hours
Ź HDMI™
Toshiba HDD-J35 incorporates the High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) technology to provide the best
video and audio quality over a single cable.
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.
Ź Pause TV
This useful function allows you to “pause” a live program and then return to it later. 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. You can now enjoy every exciting moments of TV broadcast yet
handling other matters in between.
Ź Chase Play
This feature gives you the convenience of starting the playback from the beginning of the program currently
being recorded without disrupting the recording continuously. With this function, you enjoy better control over the
playback of recorded contents, as you do not need to spend time waiting helplessly especially when recording a
long program.
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.
Ź PIP (Picture-in-Picture)
This feature gives you the ability to view 2 different live channels at the same time. Moreover, during playback of
a recorded program, you can activate the sub-window to concurrently watch another live TV broadcast or the
program being recorded, and even the playback of contents via the Auxiliary Input (L1/L2). The PIP window can
be moved to any corner of the screen or be formed as a double window.

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.
