(About the cooling fan)

A cooling fan is mounted on the rear panel of the center unit to prevent abnormal temperature inside the center unit, thus assuring normal operation. The cooling fan automatically starts rotating to supply external cool air to the inside of the center unit when the internal temperature exceeds the specified limit.

For safety, observe the following carefully.

• Make sure there is good ventilation around the center unit. Poor ventilation could overheat and cause damage.

• DO NOT block the cooling fan and the ventilation openings or holes. (If they are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to escape.)

Before Using the DVD Player

P.SCAN(Progressive Scan) Function

Your DVD player is capable of playing DVD, VCD, and CD discs. User instructions may vary depending on the type of disc. Read the instructions carefully before use.

TV Broadcast System

• This device is designed to work with the NTSC video format.

• To change the TV broadcast system to be output, press the ZOOM button while the

power is turned off. The selection will switch between NTSC and PAL each time you press the button.

• For normal playback, the video format a DVD disc is recorded in must coincide with your TV's video format.

About the symbol display

Unlike a regular Interlace Scan in which two fields of picture information are alternated to create the entire picture (odd scan lines, then even scan lines), Progressive Scan uses one field of information (all lines displayed in one pass) to create a clear and detailed picture without visible scan lines.

While the player is in the Stop mode, hold the P.SCAN button down for longer than 1 second.

The selection switches back and forth between "P.SCAN" and "I.SCAN" each time the

•

button is held down for a minimum of 1 second. The previous mode is indicated in the display first, followed by the selected mode in about

•

a second.

What is Progressive (or Non-Interlaced) Scanning?

Interlaced Scan (1 FRAME = 2 FIELDS)

Progressive Scan (FULL FRAME)

CONNECTIONS

• “ ” may appear on the TV screen during operation. This icon means the function explained in this owner’s manual is not available on that specific DVD video disc.

Note

When the power is not turned on, press down the STOP ( ) button on the main unit for

•

over 5 seconds. The product will be initialized to its optimum state.

Some operational features such as the Speaker mode, Test tone, Volume, etc. will not

•

be displayed on the TV screen.

In interlaced-scan video, a frame consists of two interlaced fields (odd and even), where each field contains every other horizontal line in the frame. The odd field of alternating lines is displayed first, and then the even field is displayed to fill in the alternating gaps left by the odd field to form a single frame. One frame, displayed every 1/30th of a second, contains two interfaced fields, thus a total of 60 fields are displayed every 1/60th of a second each. The interlaced scanning method is intended for capturing a still object.

Note

This function works only on TVs equipped with component video inputs (Y, Pr, Pb) that support Progressive

•

Video. (It does not work on TVs with conventional component inputs, i.e., non-progressive scan TVs.) Depending on the brand and model of your TV, this function may not work.

•

The progressive scanning method scans one full frame of video consecutively down the screen, line by line. As opposed to the interlaced scanning process by which a video image is drawn in a series of passes, you get an entire image drawn at one time. The progressive scanning method is desirable for dealing with moving objects. A camera that has the ability to capture moving objects is called a "full frame shutter camera".

You can play MP3/WMA files that have been recorded on a CD-R or CD-ROM on the DVD video player.

What is MP3? MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture

Experts Group (or MPEG) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a file format with a data compression ratio of 1:10 (128 Kbps*). That means,by using MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can contain 10 times as much data volume as a regular CD.

What is WMA? WMA (Windows Media Audio) is a file

format, created by Microsoft, that offers a higher compression rate and just as good sound quality as MP3. Typical MP3 files are about one-tenth the size of the original, whereas WMA files are about half the size of standard MP3.

CD-R/RW playback compatibility

Your DVD player can also play CD-R and CD-RW discs

•

recorded in digital audio format. When recording your own CD-R or CD-RW discs, make sure that the recording session is properly terminated, or they will not be playable. (Depending on disc properties and recording quality, some CD-R/RW may not be playable.)

This DVD video player requires discs/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/WMA files). Given the fact that technology in this area is still maturing. Toshiba cannot guarantee that all genre of recordable discs will produce optimal playback quality. The technical criteria set out in this owner’s manual are meant as a guide only.

Customers should also not that permission is required in order to download MP3/WMA files and music from the internet. Toshiba has no right to grant such permission.

Permission should always be sought from the copyright owner.

CD-RW has a lower reflection rate than CD-R media and

•

consequently it will take a longer to read CD-R discs. CD-RW discs recorded at high speed tend to be difficult

•

for the DVD player to read. If the recording speed for the CD-RW disc is not predetermined, write it at low speed.

Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround

To enjoy surround effectively, all the speakers need to be connected and activated.

Dolby Digital

Used to reproduce multichannel sound tracks of the software encoded with Dolby Digital ( ).

Dolby Digital encoding method (discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format)records and digitally compresses the left front channel,right front channel,center channel, left rear channel, right rear channel and LFE channel signals (total 6 channels, but LFE channel is counted as 0.1 channel). In addition,Dolby Digital enables stereo rear sounds, and sets the cutoff frequency of the rear treble at 20 kHz,compared to 7 kHz for Dolby Pro Logic. These facts result in better sound quality than Dolby Pro Logic.

When the system detects Dolby Digital signals,the DOLBY DIGITAL indicator lights up on the display.

DTS Digital Surround

Used to reproduce multichannel sound tracks for software encoded with DTS Digital Surround ( ).

DTS Digital Surround is another discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format available on CD, LD and DVD software. Compared to Dolby Digital, audio compression rate is relatively low. This fact allows DTS Digital Surround format to add breadth and depth to the reproduced sounds. As a result, DTS Digital Surround features natural, solid and clear sound.

When the system detects DTS Digital Surround signals, the DTS indicator lights up on the display.

SETUP

Dolby Pro Logic II

• Dolby Pro-Logic II is a new multi-channel playback format developed by Dolby Laboratories using feedback logic steering technology and offering improvements over conventional Dolby Pro Logic circuits.

• Dolby Pro Logic II can be used to decode not only sources recorded in Dolby Surround ( ) but also regular stereo sources into five channels (front left, front right, center, surround left and surround right) to achieve surround sound.

• Whereas with conventional Dolby Pro Logic the surround channel playback frequency band was limited, Dolby Pro Logic II offers a wider band range. In addition, the surround channels were monaural (the surround left and right channels were the same) with previous Dolby Pro Logic, but with Dolby Pro Logic II they are stereo.

* Sources recorded in Dolby Surround

These are sources in which three or more channels of surround have been recorded as two channels of signals using Dolby Surround encoding technology. Dolby Surround is used for the sound tracks of movies recorded on DVDs, LDs and video cassettes to be played on stereo VCRs, as well as for the stereo broadcast signals of FM radio, TV, satellite broadcasts and cable TV. Decoding these signals with Dolby Pro Logic makes it possible to achieve multi-channel surround playback. The signals can also be played on ordinary stereo equipment, in which case they provide normal stereo sound.

To End the Speaker Setup

Press the TEST TONE button again.

Note

While in STEREO or PRO LOGIC mode, TEST TONE may operate
