Notes on DVDs and Video CDs

Some playback operations of DVDs and Video CDs may be intentionally programmed by software manufacturers. This unit plays DVDs and Video CDs according to disc content designed by the software manufacturer, therefore some playback features may not be available or other functions may be added.

Because of problems and errors that can occur during the creation of DVD software and/or the manufacture of DVD discs, Toshiba cannot guarantee that this player will play every feature of every DVD bearing the DVD 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 on a Toshiba DVD player, please feel free to call our Contact listed in “CANADIAN WARRANTY INFORMATION” (see page 41).

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.

Connections

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

Notes:

•The picture and sound of a nearby TV, VCR, or radio may be distorted during playback. Position the units away from each other or turn off the unit after removing the disc.

•Make sure the DVD+VCR is connected directly to the TV and tune the TV to the correct video input channel.

•Do not connect the DVD+VCR’s AUDIO OUT jack to the phono in jack (record deck) of your audio system. Do not connect the DVD+VCR via another VCR. The DVD image could be distorted by the copy protection system.

Connecting an Antenna or Cable TV

a Antenna:

Disconnect the antenna from the rear of the TV and identify the antenna cable. If it is a round 75 ohm coaxial cable connect it directly to the jack marked ANT.IN on your DVD+VCR. If your antenna cable is flat connect it to a 300-ohm to 75-ohm antenna adaptor (not supplied) and slip the adaptor over the ANT.IN jack. Don’t attempt to screw it into to the DVD+VCR.

If a converter is required connect a coaxial cable from the wall jack to the IN connector on the converter, and a coaxial cable from the OUT connector on the converter to the ANT IN on your DVD+VCR. This cable hookup permits both TV and DVD+VCR operation.
