Before Use (Continued)

Precautions

Handling the unit

When shipping the unit

The original shipping carton and packing materials come in handy. For maximum protection, re-pack the unit as it was originally packed at the factory.

When setting the unit

The picture and sound of a nearby TV or radio may be distorted during playback. In this case, position the unit away from the TV or radio, or turn off the unit after removing the disc.

To keep the surface clean

Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray, near the unit. Do not leave rubber of plastic products in contact with the unit for a long period of time. They will leave marks on the surface.

Cleaning the unit

To clean the cabinet

Use a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use strong solvents, such as alcohol, benzine, or thinner, as these might damage the surface of the unit.

To obtain a clear picture

The DVD player is a high-tech, precision device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn down, the picture quality will be poor. Regular inspection and maintenance are recommended after every 1,000 hours of use. (This depends on the operating environment.) For details, please contact your nearest dealer.

Notes on Discs

Handling discs

Do not touch the playback side of the disc. Hold the disc by the edges so that fingerprints will not get on the surface. Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.

Storing discs

After playing, store the disc in its case. Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources of heat, or leave it in a parked car exposed to direct sunlight, as there may be a considerable temperature increase inside the car.

Cleaning discs

Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor picture quality and sound distortion. Before playing, clean the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out.

Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for older vinyl records.

If Timer record events Overlap...

Make sure that the preset times of the timer recording events do not overlap. If they do, the earlier programme will always be given priority.

Example:

Programme 1 is programmed to start at 16:00 and end at 17:00. Programme 2 is programmed to start at 16:30 and end at 17:30. (In this case, Programme 1 will be recorded in its entirety, but only the last 30 minutes of Programme 2 will be recorded.)

• To watch a DVD while performing a timer recording, press

DVD to select DVD mode.

• While you are watching DVD during timer programming with PDC On, the unit will go to standby mode when the timer programming ends. This is not a defect of the unit. Press ON/STANDBY to turn on the DVD+VCR to continue watching the DVD.

•

Video Programme System (VPS)

The Video Programme System (VPS) ensures that the TV programmes that you have programmed for timer recording will be recorded exactly from their beginning to end, even if the actual broadcasting time differs from the scheduled time due to delayed start, or if the programme is extended beyond its scheduled time. Also, if a programme is interrupted, for example, if a news flash is inserted, the recording will also be interrupted automatically and resumed when the programme continues. The VPS signal is broadcast by the TV station and this controls the timer in the video recorder. VPS should be set ON for all timer recordings from TV stations broadcasting these signals. It should be set OFF for all timer recordings from TV stations that are not broadcasting these signals. *** The similar system PDC, which is used in the time being in the Netherlands, can also be used with your new video recorder.

Hi-Fi Stereo Sound System (NIC)

Your DVD+VCR will record and playback Hi-Fi stereo sound. In addition it has a stereo NICAM digital stereo sound decoder. This allows you to record and playback the sound in several different ways. Video cassettes recorded on your DVD+VCR will have a normal mono audio track and two VHS Hi-Fi stereo audio tracks. These stereo tracks allow you to make audio recordings in Hi-Fi stereo or bilingual mode from a TV broadcast, stereo audio system, video disc or another Hi-Fi VCR.

1. Your DVD+VCR’s NICAM digital sound decoder allows you to enjoy broadcasts with NICAM sound, as well as standard stereo, bilingual and mono sound. The particular type of sound received or that recorded will be briefly displayed on the TV screen for a couple of seconds: For BIL NICAM broadcast, you can press AUDIO to select STEREO/MAIN, STEREO/SUB or MONO/MAIN for different languages.

STEREO NICAM

Sound is automatically recorded on the Hi-Fi stereo and mono tracks of the video tape.

BIL NICAM

Both audio channels will be recorded on the Hi-Fi stereo tracks. The primary language channel (left) will be recorded on the mono track of the video tape.

MONO

The sound is recorded on the Hi-Fi tracks and the mono track of the video tape without any separation.

2. Press

AUDIO repeatedly until the desired audio

mode appears.

3. The choice is

STEREO, LEFT, RIGHT and MONO. In BIL NICAM playback the primary language is out- put on the left channel and the secondary channel is output simultaneously from the right channel when audio output is set to

STEREO. The primary language will be output from both channels when the audio setting is MONO. Please note that when adjusting the tracking control Hi-Fi stereo sound may revert to

MONO.

Note: When OFF is selected in NIC, only mono sound will be output.

• Sampling frequency: within 8 - 48 kHz

• Bit rate: within 32 - 320kbps

• The player cannot read an MP3 file that has a file extension other than “.mp3”.

• CD-R physical format should be ISO 9660

• If you record MP3 files using software that cannot create a file system (eg. Direct-CD) it is impossible to playback MP3 files. We recommend that you use Easy-CD Creator, which creates an ISO 9660 file system.

• File names should have a maximum of 8 letters and must incorporate an .mp3 extension.

• They should not contain special letters such as / ? * : “ < > l etc.

• The total number of contens on the disc should be less than 1500 files and 300 folders.

This DVD+VCR requires discs and recordings to meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 files) and these require certain pre-existing conditions (see above) to ensure compatible playback. Because this area of technology is still evolving, Toshiba cannot guarantee that all recordable discs will produce optimal playback quality. The technical criteria set forth in this owner’s manual are meant only as a guide.

Please be advised that you must obtain permission from the applicable copyright owners to download copyrighted content, including music files, in any format, including the MP3 formats, prior to the downloading thereof. Toshiba has no right to grant and does not grant permission to download any copyrighted content.
