Chapter

Introduction

Precautions

Notes on handling

Never disconnect the power cord from a wall outlet

while the player is turned on, unless it is in an emergency. Doing so may cause malfunction. When shipping the player, the original shipping

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,

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

warm after a long period of use. This is not a malfunction.

When not in use

For usual absence

Be sure to remove the disc from the player and

turn off the power. Prolonged absence

Unplug the player from a wall outlet. (This will stop

the clock. Display “SETUP MENU” by pressing SETUP, and reset the clock (

page 52, 60).)

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 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

VTR, 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 VTR. To avoid damage to this product, never place or

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

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.

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. Set the MODE switch according to your connection.

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/576i or 480p/576p) 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/576i or 480p/576p 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

• Connect the player directly to your TV. If you connect the player to a VTR, TV/VTR combination, video selector or

before making any connections.

AV ampliﬁer, the playback picture may be distorted due to copy protection.

HDMI INPUT

Introduction Connections

Step

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. Use a commercially available authorized HDMI cable.

HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Deﬁnition Multimedia Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI Licensing LLC.

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.

After completing the connection, proceed to page 23 to make the setting.

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.

• Be sure to conﬁ rm compatibility of a cable when connecting a Deep Color compatible display device.
