Notes on DVDs and Video CDs

Because of problems and errors that can occur during the creation of DVD and Video CD software and/or the manufacture of DVD and Video CD discs, Toshiba cannot guarantee that this DVD Home Theater System will play every feature of every DVD bearing the DVD logo and/or every Video CD bearing the CD logo. As one of the creators of DVD technology, Toshiba DVD players are manufactured using the highest standards of quality, and as a result, such incompatibilities are rare. If you happen to experience any difficulty playing a DVD or a Video CD on this DVD Home Theater System, please feel free to call our Consumer Solution Center (see page 45).

Introduction

Disc-related terms

VCD (Video CD)

A VCD holds up to 74 minutes (650 MB disc) or 80 minutes (700 MB disc) of MPEG-1 full-motion video along with quality stereo sound.

MPEG

MPEG is an international standard for video and audio compression. MPEG-1 is used in encoding video for VCD and provides for multichannel surround sound coding such as PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG audio.

MP3

MP3 is a popular compression format used for digital audio files that yields very high near-CD quality.

WMA

Windows Media

audio file. A type of coding / decoding

developed by Microsoft Corp.

JPEG

Joint Pictures Expert Group. JPEG is a compressed file format that allows you to save images with no limit on the number of colors.

Note on Windows Media

Windows Media is either a registered trademark or trademark of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries.

PBC: Playback Control (Video CD only)

Playback control is available for Video CD (VCD) version 2.0 disc formats. PBC allows you to interact with the system via menus, search functions, or other typical computer-like operations. Moreover, still pictures of high resolution can be played if they are included in the disc. Video CDs not equipped with PBC (Version 1.1) operate in the same way as audio CDs.

Title (DVD video discs only)

A title is generally a distinct section of a DVD disc. For example the main feature could be title 1, a documentary describing how the film was made could be title 2, and cast interviews could be title 3. Each title is assigned a reference number enabling you to locate it easily.

Chapter (DVD video discs only)

A chapter is a segment of a title such as a scene in a film or one interview in a series. Each chapter is assigned a chapter number, enabling you to locate the chapter you want. Depending on the disc, chapters may not be recorded.

Scene (VCD)

On a video CD with PBC (playback control) functions, moving pictures and still pictures are divided into sections called “scenes”. Each scene is displayed in the menu screen and assigned a scene number, enabling you to locate the scene you want. A scene is composed of one or several tracks.

Track

A distinct element of audiovisual information, such as the picture or sound track for a specific language (DVD), or a musical piece on a video or audio CD. Each track is assigned a track number, enabling you to locate the track you want. DVD discs allow one track of video (with multiple angles) and several tracks of audio.

Caution

Never throw batteries into a fire.

Notes:

•

Be sure to use AAA size batteries.

• Dispose of batteries in a designated disposal area.

• Batteries should always be disposed of with the

environment in mind. Always dispose of batteries in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

• If the remote control does not operate correctly, or if the

operating range becomes reduced, replace batteries with new ones.

• When necessary to replace batteries in the remote control,

always replace both batteries with new ones. Never mix battery types or use new and used batteries in combination.

• Always remove batteries from remote control if they are

dead or if the remote control is not to be used for an extended period of time. This will prevent battery acid from leaking into the battery compartment.

Setting up the DVD Home Theater System

The picture and sound of a nearby TV, VCR, or radio may be distorted during playback. If this occurs, position the DVD Home Theater System away from the TV, VCR, or radio, or turn off the unit after removing the disc.

DVD Home Theater System Connections

Depending on your TV and other equipment there are various ways you can connect the DVD Home Theater System. Please refer to the manuals of your TV, stereo system or other devices as necessary for additional connection information.

Video Connections to Your TV

Make sure the DVD Home Theater System is connected directly to the TV and not to a VCR, otherwise the DVD image could be distorted by the copy protection system.

Video: Connect the MONITOR OUT jack on the DVD Home Theater System to the video in jack on the TV using the video cable (V).

S-Video: Connect the S-VIDEO OUT jack on the DVD Home Theater System to the S-Video in jack on the TV using the S-Video cable (S).

Notes:

• For MONITOR OUT and S-VIDEO OUT jack connection, resolution must be set to 480i or 480p by pressing RESOLUTION on the remote control, however MONITOR OUT and S-VIDEO OUT is always at 480i standard resolution.

• HDMI mode must be set to OFF for VIDEO OUT and S-VIDEO OUT jack connection.

Component Video (ColorStream®): Connect the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks on the DVD Home Theater System to the corresponding in jacks on the TV using an Y Pb Pr cable (C).

Progressive Scan (ColorStream Pro

• If your television is a high-definition or “digital ready” television, you may take advantage of the DVD Home Theater System’s progressive scan output for the highest video resolution possible.

• If your TV does not accept the Progressive Scan format, the picture will appear scrambled if you try Progressive Scan on the DVD Home Theater System.

Notes:

•You can change the resolution (480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i) for the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT by pressing RESOLUTION on the remote control.

• For 720p and 1080i resolution, only non-copy protected discs can be played back. If the disc is copy protected, it will be displayed at the 480p resolution. The resolution (720p, 1080i) is for the component output only.

• HDMI mode must be set to OFF for Component video connections.

• The resolution (720p, 1080i) does not work with the analog video connections (VIDEO OUT & S-VIDEO).
