Precautions

Notes on handling

❏

When shipping the DVD player, always use the original shipping carton and packing materials. 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 DVD player. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the DVD player for a long time. They will leave marks on the finish.

❏

The top and rear panels of the DVD player may become warm after a long period of use. This is normal and not a malfunction.

❏

When the DVD player is not in use, be sure to remove the disc and turn off the power.

❏

If you do not use the DVD player for a long period, the unit may not function properly in the future. Turn on and use the DVD player occasionally.

Notes on Locating

❏

When you place this DVD player near a TV, radio, or VCR, the playback picture may become poor and the sound may be distorted. In this case, move the DVD player away from the TV, radio, or VCR.

Notes on Cleaning

Notes on 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.

Moisture condensation occurs during the following cases.

❏

When you bring the DVD player directly from a cold place to a warm place.

❏

When you use the DVD player in a room where you just turned on the heater, or a place where the cold air from the air conditioner directly hits the unit.

❏

In summer, when you use the DVD player in a hot and humid place just after you move the unit from an air conditioned room.

❏

When you use the DVD player in a humid place.

Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.

❏

For stubborn dirt, soak the cloth in a weak detergent solution, wring well and wipe. Use a dry cloth to wipe it dry. Do not use any type of solvent, such as thinner and benzine, as they may damage the surface of the DVD player.

❏

If you use a chemical saturated cloth to clean the unit, follow that product’s instructions.

Warning: Cleaning and adjustment of lenses and/or other components of playback mechanism should be performed by a qualified service technician.

To Obtain a Clear Picture

The DVD player is a high technology, precision device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn down, the picture quality becomes poor. To obtain a clear picture, we recommend regular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or parts replacement) every 1,000 hours of use depending on the operating environment. For details, contact your nearest dealer.

❏

Do not use the DVD player when moisture condensation may occur.

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 “ON” 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.

Notes on Discs

This section shows you how to handle, clean, and store discs.

INTRODUCTION PAGE 7

On Handling Discs

❍

Do not touch the playback side of the disc.

❍

Do not attach paper or tape to discs.

On Storing Discs

❍

Do not store discs in a place subject to direct sunlight or near heat sources.

❍

Do not store discs in places subject to moisture and dust such as a bathroom or near a humidifier.

❍

Store discs vertically in a case. Stacking or placing objects on discs outside of their case may cause warping.

On Cleaning Discs

❍

Fingerprints and dust on the disc cause picture and sound deterioration. Wipe the disc from the center outward with a soft cloth. Always keep the disc clean.

❍

If you cannot wipe off the dust with a soft cloth, wipe the disc lightly with a slightly moistened soft cloth and finish with a dry cloth.

❍

Do not use any type of solvents such as thinner, benzine, commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray for vinyl LPs. They may damage the disc.

To change the Sample Frequency setting, first select the desired digital audio output type as indicated above. If your A/V receiver or surround processor is NOT capable of handling 96kHz signals, select the 48kHz option. When this choice is made, this unit will automatically convert any 96kHz signals to a 48kHz output so that your system is capable of decoding them.

Some states do not allow limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts, when an action may be brought, or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above provisions may not apply to you.

ATTENTION CANADIAN CONSUMERS:

Canadian consumers are requested to complete the special Canadian “Warranty Registration Form” enclosed, and forward this completed form with a copy of bill of sale to TOSHIBA OF CANADA to “Register and Validate” their warranty. Product must be purchased from an Authorized Canadian Dealer. Products purchased in the U.S.A. and used in Canada are not covered by these warranties.

IMPORTANT: PACKING AND SHIPPING INSTRUCTION

When you send the product to a Service Station, you must use the original carton box and packing material, then insert the original carton box containing the unit into another carton using more packing material.
