CAUTION!

Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner,
commercially available cleaners, or anti-static sprays

intended 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 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 player.

If you use the DVD player in such a situation, it may

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

(e.g.CDs, magazines).

-Install this unit near the AC outlet and where the
AC power plug can be reached easily.

Space for ventilation

-Place the apparatus in a location with adequate

dust

-Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or

splashing.

-Do not place any sources of danger on the
