Basic Setup

Introduction

Precautions

Notes on handling

Never disconnect the power cord from a wall outlet while the recorder is not in standby mode, unless it is in an emergency. Doing so may cause malfunction. When shipping the recorder, 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 recorder. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the recorder for a long time. They will leave marks on the finish. The top and rear panels of the recorder may become warm after a long time of use. This is not a malfunction.

When not in use

For usual absence Be sure to remove the disc from the recorder and turn off the power. Prolonged absence Unplug the recorder from a wall outlet.

Notes on cleaning

Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.

For stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth (containing a mild detergent) to wipe the unit. Ensure the unit is unplugged before you do this. Use a dry cloth to wipe it dry. Do not use any type of solvent, such as thinner or benzine, as they may damage the surface of the recorder. If you use a chemical saturated cloth to clean the unit, follow that product’s instructions.

Notes on antennas

Image and sound quality depend very much on signal reception. Reception may be poor in weak signal areas. In this event, consult your dealer, or purchase a commercially available antenna booster. Refer to the booster’s instruction manual for installation details.

Notes on locating

Place the recorder 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 recorder. Before placing the recorder, make sure that the surface can stand the weight of the recorder. For safety, avoid placing the recorder in a high location, as an accidental fall of the recorder may cause personal injury. When you place this recorder 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 recorder away as much as possible from the TV, radio, or VTR. Do not install this product in an area where it will be exposed to large amounts of oily smoke, steam or dust, as such exposure could result in fire or electric shock. Cigarette smoke, dust etc. can cause the product to malfunction.

Notes on recording and editing

Power outage

When you record/edit important content, make trial operations beforehand to confirm the recorder can function properly. Toshiba does not compensate for content which was not recorded/edited because of some malfunction of this product or discs 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 plug is disconnected or when a power failure occurs during any operation of this product, all contents recorded in this recorder may be erased. Depending on the channel or programme, an excessive sound input level may cause noise or cut of recorded sound. Adjust the recording level when necessary. If a programme you have set a timer recording includes copy restriction signals, it may not be recorded. When programming a recording, confirm that a programme you want to record is not copy-restricted.

Exemptions

Toshiba is not liable for any damage caused by fires, natural disaster (such as thunder, earthquake, etc.), acts by a third parties, accidents, owner’s intentional or unintentional misuse, or uses in other improper conditions. Toshiba is not liable for incidental damages (such as profit loss or interruption in business, modification or erasure of recorded data, etc.) caused by use or inability to use of this product. Toshiba is not liable for any damage caused by neglect of the instructions described in the owner’s manual.

Precautions (Continued)

Notes on moisture condensation

Moisture condensation damages the unit. Please read the following carefully.

Moisture condensation occurs during the following cases.

When you bring the unit directly from a cold place to a warm place. When you use the unit in a room where you just turned on the heater, or a place where the cold wind from the air conditioner directly hits the unit. In summer, when you use the unit in a hot and humid place just after you move the unit from an air conditioned room. When you use the unit in a humid place.

CAUTION

• When you are connecting (via the BITSTREAM/PCM AUDIO OUTPUT jack) an AV decoder that does not have Dolby Digital or Digital Theater Systems (DTS) decoding function, be sure to set “Audio out select” to “PCM” from the on-screen displays ( Otherwise, high volume sound may damage your hearing as well as the speakers.

• When playing DTS-encoded discs (audio CDs), excessive noise may be output from the analog stereo jacks. To avoid possible damage to the audio system, you should take proper precautions when the analog audio out (L/R) jacks of the recorder are connected to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround™ playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround™ decoder system must be connected to the BITSTREAM/PCM AUDIO OUTPUT jack of the recorder.
