CAUTION!

Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, com

-

mercially available cleaners, or anti-static sprays in-

tended for analog discs. Since the optical unit (laser)

of the DVD system operates at a higher power than
regular DVD or CD players, cleaning CDs intended
for DVD or CD players may damage the optical unit

(laser). Therefore, refrain from using a cleaning CD.

Moisture Condensation

Moisture condensation damages the DVD video

player. Please read the following carefully. Moisture
condensation occurs, for example, when you pour a
cold drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of water
form on the outside of the glass. In the same way,
moisture may condense on the optical pick-up lens
inside this unit, one of the most crucial internal parts
of the DVD video player.

If you use the DVD video player in such a situation,

it may damage discs and internal parts. Remove the
disc, connect the power cord of the DVD video player
to the wall outlet, turn on the DVD video player, and
leave it for two or three hours. After two or three
hours, the DVD video player will have warmed up
and evaporated any moisture. Keep the DVD video
player connected to the wall outlet and moisture con­densation will seldom occur.

Region Codes

This DVD player is designed to support the Region

Management System. Check the regional code
number on the disc package. If the number does
not match the player' s region number (see table on

page 5), the player may be unable to playback the

disc.

Tips:

-It may not be possible to play CD-R/RW , DVD

+

R/
RW , or DVD+R DL in all cases due to the type of
disc or condition of the recording.

-

If you are having trouble playing a certain disc,
remove the disc and try a different one. Improperly
formatted disc will not play on this DVD Player.

WARNING:

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!

Never attempt to service this product yourself. Open

­ing and removing the covers may expose you to
dangerous voltage or other hazards. Failure to follow
this WARNING may result in death or serious injury.

Refer all servicing not specied in this manual to a

Toshiba Authorized Service Center.
