About this product

Introduction

Some differences

This DVD recorder is more similar to a computer than to a standard DVD player. In addition to a microprocessor, it contains a hard disc drive (an HDD), an operating system, random access memory (RAM), and a DVDRAM/R/RW drive. The operating system includes software stored on the HDD 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 on the DVD recorder, it may take a minute or so before it is ready to use. Likewise, other functions may not be performed as quickly as they would on other AV equipment. In addition, because programs stored on the DVD-RAM/R/RW drive cannot be accessed as quickly as those stored on the HDD, accessing those programs (or deleting a program from a DVD-RAM or DVD-RW disc) may take more time. Please take these factors into consideration as you use the DVD recorder.

About the hard disc drive (HDD)

Like any HDD, the HDD in the DVD 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 longer term storage of programs you wish to retain. If portions of the HDD become damaged, programs recorded on those portions may exhibit pixelization or block 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 notice such noise in a program that you want to save, you should transfer to a recordable DVD disc as soon as possible. Recordable DVD discs are also susceptible to damage if not handled and stored carefully, some or all of the programs on them may become unplayable. You can reduce these risks by using high quality DVD recordable discs and checking their playability from time to time. If it becomes necessary to service your DVD recorder, it may be necessary to delete some or all of the programs on the HDD.

Playback Restrictions

This owner’s manual explains the basic instructions for this recorder. Some DVD video discs are produced in a manner that allows specific or limited operation during playback. As such, the recorder may not respond to all operating commands. This is not a defect in the recorder. 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

“ recorder or the disc.

Recording Restrictions

Copy-protected contents of DVD-Video disc, VIDEO CDs or audio CDs on the market cannot be copied on this recorder. Contents without copy protection should be copied or edited only in accordance with applicable copyright laws, which may restrict copying or editing. Contents that permit single copying (copy once contents) can be recorded onto the HDD or a CPRM compatible DVDRAM, DVD-RW (VR mode) or DVD-R (VR mode). They cannot be recorded onto a DVD-RW (Video mode) or DVD-R (Video mode). Copy once contents recorded in the HDD can be moved to a CPRM compatible DVDRAM, DVD-RW or DVD-R, with some dubbing and editing restrictions.

Compatibility

In isolated cases, a disc bearing the DVD or CD logo may not fully and properly play back all features. This can be due, among other reasons, to problems and errors that can occur during the creation or recording of DVD and other software and the manufacture of software discs (including blank discs). Moreover, because of variations in the quality of discs, this recorder may not be able to record on all discs that bear a DVD-RAM, DVD-R or DVD-RW logo, but you should not encounter difficulty if you use only high quality recordable DVD discs.

Introduction

Compatible discs

When you want to play DVD or CD software or copy programmes from the HDD to a recordable DVD, load an appropriate disc into the recorder. There are many types and formats of discs. Please use the following information to select an appropriate disc.

Notes

• Handle the disc according to the disc instruction manual.

• Depending on the data recording method or the disc status, playback or recording on this recorder may not be possible, even if the disc is labeled as below. Toshiba cannot assure that all discs bearing the DVD or CD logos will operate as expected. Please see the discussion of compatibility on page 5.

On DVD-RAM discs

Use only DVD-RAM discs that comply with DVD-RAM standard Version 2.0, 2.1 or 2.2.

The recorder cannot record on a disc formatted in any other standard. When using such a disc, initialize it by using the disc-format function of this recorder. The recorder may not record, dub, or edit some DVDRAM discs, because they are edited/recorded with another manufacture’s equipment or PC, contain a large number of titles, or have little remaining capacity. Also, a DVD-RAM disc may not be edited or recorded if its title contains still pictures. DVD-RAM discs formatted in UDF2.0 on a PC are not compatible with this recorder. Before using these discs, initialize them on this recorder. Select a DVD-RAM disc that shows a statement on its package such as “this disc can be used with video recorders and drives compatible with 4.7GB DVDRAM discs” or “this disc can copy images that permit single copying.” This recorder complies with current copyright protection technology and can copy a disc only when the disc permits copying once. When there is no indication on the disc, copying will not be allowed.

DVD-RAM discs with cartridges are recommended for recording.

Two types of DVD-RAM discs are available: ones with cartridges and ones without cartridges. You can use either of them with this recorder, but the former ones are recommended. In order to record highly detailed data, make sure the disc is clean. DVD-RAM discs with cartridges are easier to handle in this regard. Do not open the cartridge shutter. The disc may not play, or may not be recorded or edited once it becomes dirty. There are two types of DVD-RAM cartridges; removable (TYPE 2/4) and not removable (TYPE 1). It is recommended you do not remove the disc even when you can. Refer to the instruction manual that comes with the disc if it is absolutely necessary to remove the disc. Some commercially available cartridge discs cannot be recorded or edited once the inside discs are removed.

Introduction

To protect recorded contents

Slide the write-protect tab to “PROTECT” with something small enough. The disc can play, but cannot be edited or erased. Refer to the instructions that come with the disc.

When using a disc without a cartridge (commercially available discs)

Discs without cartridges can easily attract fingerprints and dust, which is the reason they are not recommended. If you cannot avoid using them, handle with proper care. When you write in a title column on a disc, use a pen with a soft tip. Do not use a pen with a hard tip, such as a ballpoint pen.

Recommended discs

The following discs have been tested with this recorder:

9.4 GB double-sided cartridge: Panasonic 2X, 3X, 5X

4.7 GB single-sided cartridge: Panasonic 2X, 3X, 5X

PROTECT

On DVD-RW discs

Standards

Discs labeled DVD-RW Ver.1.1 can be used. Discs compatible with 2X speed recording (labeled Ver.1.1/2X etc,) can also be used. Select discs labeled “for video,” “for recording,” “120 min.” etc.

Recording conditions

Video mode cannot record contents with restrictions on recording (copy once contents). To record such contents, select a CPRM compatible disc and initialize it in VR mode before recording. (You can initialize the disc again either VR mode or Video mode. Initializing erases all contents in the disc.) If deterioration in writing area on a disc is advanced by repeat erasing and recording, the disc may not be played on other device even if it can be played on this recorder.

• If you do not initialize a DVD-R, recording onto the disc will be in Video mode.

• To record copy once contents, select a new disc labeled “CPRM compatible”.

• Even if a disc is labeled “CPRM compatible” or “VR mode recording compatible”, be sure to initialize it before using

on this recorder.

• Some DVD-R may be able to be initialized in VR mode, even if they are not labeled “VR mode recording compatible”. There is no guarantee that it functions properly.

• DVD-R/RW (VR mode) recorded on this recorder can be played only on this recorder or other VR mode compatible devices. If such a disc is loaded on a device which is not compatible with VR mode, damage or malfunction may occur to the disc or the device. Toshiba is not liable for such damage or malfunction.

• CPRM labeled DVD-R/RW (VR mode) which are recorded on the recorder can be played only on this recorder or other CPRM compatible device. Toshiba is not liable for such damage or malfunction.

Introduction

Before operating this recorder

Is your recorder ready?

• Refer to the supplied “INSTALLATION GUIDE” manual and finish the necessary preparations.

• Turn on the connected equipment such as a TV or audio system and select the input from the recorder.

Turning the power on

(This owner’s manual instructions are based on the assumption that all proper connections have been completed and the TV is turned on.)

Press ON/STANDBY on the front panel of the recorder or on the remote control.

ON/STANDBY button

PROGRAM buttons

When the power turns on, the ON/STANDBY indicator changes colour from red (standby mode) to green (operation). After a few seconds, a start-up screen appears. The following icon appears at the top right corner of the screen.

e.g.

Loading a disc

Check disc compatibility beforehand ( page 6) and use a proper playable disc.

Caution

• Keep your fingers well clear of the disc tray. Neglecting this may cause serious personal injury. Keep a close watch on children.

• Do not use a cracked, deformed, or repaired disc.

1 Open the disc tray.

Press OPEN/CLOSE on the front panel or the remote control.

OPEN/CLOSE button

2 Insert a disc.

Disc without a cartridge

Insert with the playback side down.

There are two kinds of disc size. Place a disc to fit the guide. If a disc is out of the guide, it may result in damage to the disc or malfunction.

When this icon disappears, the recorder is ready to operate. If the disc drive contains a disc, it takes a little longer to start up.

Viewing TV channels through this recorder

After turning the power on, the recorder will output TV channel signals to the connected TV (also in the stop mode). You can select a desired channel by pressing the PROGRAM or the number buttons.

RD-85DT_Ope_E_p020-030 3/27/06, 19:4020

Place a disc in the inside hollow.

Page 21

Introduction

DVD-RAM disc with cartridge (TYPE1/TYPE2/TYPE4)

Single sided

Turn the printed side up, and insert the cartridge into the tray frame following the direction of the arrow on the cartridge.

Double sided

Turn the desired recording/playback side up, and insert the cartridge into the tray frame following the direction of the arrow on the cartridge.

3 Close the disc tray.

Press the OPEN/CLOSE button on the front panel or the remote control.

Notes

• Use the button on the front panel or the remote control to open and close the disc tray. Do not push or hold the disc tray while it is moving. Doing so may cause the recorder to malfunction.

• Do not insert a disc which is unplayable, or any object other than a playable disc.

• Do not apply downforce to the disc tray. Doing so may cause the recorder to malfunction.

• If the disc tray stops while closing, the mechanical protection system of this recorder will open it. Do not force it to close. Doing so may cause malfunction.

• If the disc tray will not open, turn the recorder off, and press the OPEN/CLOSE button on the front panel or the remote control. This may turn the recorder on and open the disc tray. If it still won’t open, contact your nearest TOSHIBA dealer.

Turning the power off

Press ON/STANDBY on the front panel of the recorder or on the remote control.

The “Unloading” icon appears at the top right corner of the screen, and the ON/STANDBY indicator turns red, then the power turns off (standby mode.)

Caution

• If the power fails or the power cord is disconnected from a wall outlet while the recorder is in operation, the HDD or a loaded disc may become recording disabled. In such a case, executing an initialization of the disc using the formatting function of the recorder may refresh it. However, all contents stored on the disc will be completely erased by this initialization process.

• This recorder may indicate alert messages with some DVD-RAM discs right after insertion. If such a disc is used for playback or recording on other equipment, all data in the disc may be damaged and the disc will not be played. By executing an initialization of the disc using the formatting function of the recorder, the disc will become operational.

• If the recorder freezes and does not respond at all, leave it alone for about 15 minutes or longer. This may restore the recorder. After the recorder has recovered, turn it off once and turn it on again to use as usual. If the recorder is still inoperable after more than 15 minutes have passed, press and hold the ON/STANDBY button on the front panel for about 10 seconds or longer. The recorder is forced to quit and the power turns off. Turn the recorder on again and use it as usual. (This is an emergency measure, which may cause loss and/or damage of data. Avoid casual use of this measure. If you try this while the recorder is working properly, especially while the “Loading” or “Unloading” icon is flashing, it may result in initializing of the HDD.) (This 15minute measure is available only when “Screen protector” is set to “On.” ( page 128))

Note

• If there are any performance malfunctions of the HDD or the DVD-RAM drive, immediately discontinue use of this recorder, and disconnect the power cord from a wall outlet, then contact your dealer. Continuous use of the recorder in such a condition will aggravate the condition and result in increased cost and repair time.

Disc tray lock

You can lock the disc tray.

Press and hold PAUSE on the remote control for longer than about 3 seconds.

To unlock, during stop press the button for longer than about 3 seconds.

Note

• Turning the power off also unlocks the disc tray.

GUIDE to RE-TUNING DIGITAL TV CHANNELS

From time-to-time, new or changed digital television services may be broadcast. To view these, your recorder should be re-tuned.

ANALOGUE SWITCH-OFF

This is a digital video recorder which allows use of digital services. However, during the lifetime of this unit, it is very likely that analogue services will be switched off to allow for more new digital services. This ‘switch-off’ will happen in a number of phases, and will be advertised in your area well in advance. It is recommended that at each phase the television is retuned to ensure that the existing and new services can be viewed as they become available.

STANDBY

Your recorder has an optional feature that finds new services automatically if you leave it in the standby mode overnight occasionally. However, to ensure the most updated digital services, it is recommended you also auto-tune during major changes, such as analogue switch-off.

RE-TUNING DIGITAL TV CHANNELS

Follow the procedure described on page 26, OPERATIONS.

Notes on recording from a connected VTR or camcorder

Check the condition of the source equipment before playing.

Set the equipment in good condition, e.g. clean the head or adjust the tracking, etc. to obtain optimum playback. Bad conditions may produce noises in playback. These noises may be detected as copy protection signals, resulting in stop of recording on this recorder. Play a source in an usual mode. Avoid using any correcting or enhancing features, as they may add signals which can be detected as copy protection signals. Source quality or tape condition beyond adjustments on the source equipment may stop a recording on this recorder.

Do not operate the source equipment during recording on this recorder.

Operations such as pausing, resuming, fast-forwarding (CUE) and fast-reversing (REVIEW), etc. may produce noises, which may be detected as copy protection signals. Therefore, first start playback on the source equipment to confirm that the desired source can be played properly, and then start recording on this recorder. Do not operate the source equipment during recording. After completing the desired scene, stop the recording on the recorder, and then stop the playback on the source equipment. Delete unnecessary scenes using editing functions (

page 50). If you want to operate the source equipment during recording, pause or stop the

recording. After operating the source equipment, resume the recording as above.

When recording from a camcorder

Follow the above notes. Be sure to power the camcorder by its AC adapter, not batteries. If batteries are used, palyback may stop before the recording has finished.

Technical information

About recording time

The recording time of a typical VCR (Video Cassette Recorder) is determined by the length of a video tape and recording speed (SP, LP, etc.). Video tapes with various recording times are available in the market. On the other hand, the recording time of a DVD-RAM/ R/RW depends on the bit rate (Mbps: amount of data transmitted per second), which can be varied in MPEG2 (Moving Picture Experts Group2) compression technology. As an example, when you pour water into a bucket from a faucet, the faster the water flows, the sooner the bucket is filled with water. On the other hand, the slower the water flows, the more slowly the bucket is filled. The DVD-RAM/R/RW is, so to speak, such a bucket, and the degree you turn the faucet is bit rate, the time required to fill the bucket with water is the recording time available for a disc. The higher you set the bit rate (making much more water flow), the sooner a disc is filled. Consequently, the recording time becomes shorter. The lower you set the bit rate, the longer time it takes to fill a disc.

About picture quality (XP, SP, LP, Auto, MN (Manual) mode)

The higher you set the bit rate, the more the volume of information for the picture. The lower the bit rate, the less the volume of picture information.

However a high bit rate does not always mean that the picture quality is high. The difference between the 1.4 Mbps and 9.2 Mbps is obvious, but when comparing similar bit rates, the difference may be insignificant. Generally when you set the bit rate low for longer recording time, the data volume shortage will result in a lack of detail information. As a result, the picture quality is decreased (more noticeable with dynamically moving images). For example, square noises (block noise) may occur in a scene with fast action or a scene with light and shadows, such as a water surface. This recorder has several settings, for example 2 hour recording at “SP” mode or 4 hour recording at “LP” mode (both assume a blank 4.7 GB DVD-RAM). It is recommended to consider the “SP” mode as a standard mode and use the “LP” mode when you want to record for long time regardless of the picture quality. If you want to record for about 2 hours or are uncertain which one to select, select the “Auto” mode. On a blank 4.7 GB DVD-RAM disc, the “Auto” mode automatically sets the appropriate bit rate corresponded to the recording time from about 1 hour to up to 2 and a half hours so that you can achieve the best picture quality. If a part of a DVD-RAM disc has already been recorded, the “Auto” mode sets the bit rate suitable for the remaining space on the disc. (The picture quality is determined referring the remaining space just before recording. When the remaining space is scarce in the disc, the picture quality may decrease from what you set beforehand or the recording may stop halfway.) “Auto” mode is available also on DVD-R/RW recordings. When you want to record a music program or animation with high picture quality, it is recommended that you select the “MN” mode. If you select more than 6 Mbps, you can usually record with considerably higher picture quality. However the higher you set the bit rate, the shorter the recording time.

D /M1, D /M2

Sound recording format onto DVD-RAM discs. When recording, sounds are converted into digital signals and compressed. In playback, they are extracted to the original sound. The standard differenciates M1 and and technology for consumer products of Dolby Laboratories. Dolby Digital 192 kbps is set for M1 and Dolby Digital 384 kbps for

D /M2 in data volume to use. D /M1
