Notes
Depending on the conditions of the recording equipment or the CD-R/RW (or DVD-R/±RW) disc itself,
some CD-R/RW (or DVD-R/±RW) discs cannot be
played on the unit.
Do not attach any seal or label to either side (the
labeled side or the recorded side) of a disc.
Do not use irregularly shaped CDs (e.g., heartshaped or octagonal). It may result in malfunctions.
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/VCR Receiver 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/VCR Receiver, please feel free
to call our Consumer Solution Center (see page 49).
Notes on copyright
The unauthorized recording, use, distribution, or revision of television programs, videotapes, DVDs and
other materials, is prohibited under the Copyright Laws
of the United States and other countries, and may subject you to civil and/or criminal liability.
This product incorporates copyright protection technology that is protected by method claims of certain U.S.

Regional code of the DVD/VCR Receiver and DVDs
This DVD/VCR Receiver is designed and manufactured for playback of region “1” encoded
DVD software. The region code on the labels of
some DVDs indicates which type of player can
play those discs. This unit can only play DVDs labelled
“1” or “ALL”. If you try to play any other discs, the message “Check Regional Code” will appear on the TV
screen. Some DVDs that have no region code label
may still be subject to area restrictions and therefore
not playable.
Note on DTS-encoded CDs
When playing DTS-encoded CDs, excessive noise may
be exhibited from the analog stereo output. To avoid
possible damage to the audio system, turn down the
volume before playing back such discs, adjust the volume gradually, and keep the volume level low. To enjoy
DTS Digital Surround
®
playback, an external 5.1 chan-
nel DTS Digital Surround
®
decoder system must be con-
nected to the digital output of the unit.

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 packaged at the factory.
When setting up the unit
The picture and sound of a nearby TV, VCR, or radio
may be distorted during playback. In this case, position
the unit away from the TV, VCR, 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 or 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/VCR Receiver is a high-tech, precision
device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts
are dirty or worn, 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.
Moisture Condensation
Never operate the DVD/VCR Receiver immediately after
moving it from a cold location to a warm location. Leave
it for two or three hours without operating it. If you use
the DVD/VCR Receiver in such a situation, it may damage discs/tapes and internal parts.
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.

Connections
Tips
Depending on your TV and other equipment you wish to
connect, there are various ways you could connect the
DVD/VCR Receiver. Use connections described on pages
11-14.
Please refer to the manuals of your TV, VCR, Stereo
System or other devices as necessary to make the best
connections.
Caution
Make sure the DVD/VCR Receiver is connected directly to
the TV. Tune the TV to the correct video input channel.
Do not connect the DVD/VCR Receiver’s DVD/VCR AUDIO
OUT jack to the phono in jack (record deck) of your audio
system.
Do not connect your DVD/VCR Receiver via your VCR. The
DVD image could be distorted by the copy protection system.
The unauthorized recording, use, distribution, or revision of
television programs, videotapes, DVDs and other materials,
is prohibited under the Copyright Laws of the United States
and other countries, and may subject you to civil and/or
criminal liability.
Connecting Antenna/Cable TV to
DVD/VCR Receiver
1. Disconnect the antenna leads from the rear of the
TV.
2. Identify the type of cable from your antenna. If it is a
round cable as illustrated, it is a 75 ohm coaxial
antenna cable. This cable will connect directly to the
jack marked ANT.IN on your DVD/VCR Receiver.
Tip
If your antenna lead wire is a flat type antenna cable,
connect it to an Antenna Adaptor (300-ohm to 75-ohm)
(not supplied) and slip the Adaptor onto the ANT.IN
jack. The Adaptor does not screw on to the DVD/VCR
Receiver, it just slips over the jack.
Without Cable Box
If your cable wire is connected to your TV without a converter
or descrambler box, unscrew the wire from your TV and attach
it to the ANT.IN jack on the DVD/VCR Receiver. Use the supplied round coaxial cable to connect between the DVD/VCR
Receiver’s RF.OUT jack and the 75 ohm antenna input jack on
the TV. With this connection, you can receive all midband,
super band, and hyperband channels.
With Cable Box
If a converter is required in your cable system, follow the
instruction below:
The cable hookup permits both TV and DVD/VCR Receiver
operation.
To view or record a CATV channel
1 Tune the TV to the DVD/VCR Receiver output channel (CH
3 or 4).
2 Set the DVD/VCR Receiver channel selector to the output
channel of the Cable Converter box using CH/TRK (v/V) or
number (0-9) of your DVD/VCR Receiver. (Example: CH3)
3 Select the channel to view at the Cable Converter Box.
Notes
With this connection, you CANNOT record one program
while viewing another.
If you are using a cable box to tune channels, it is not nec-
essary to do Auto Channel Programming, (Auto Channel
Search) as indicated on page 18.

DVD/VCR Receiver to the audio left/right in jacks on
the TV (A) using the supplied audio cables.
Progressive Scan (ColorStream Pro®) connection
If your television is a high-definition or “digital ready”
television, you may take advantage of the DVD/VCR
Receiver’s progressive scan output for the highest
video resolution.
If your TV does not accept the Progressive Scan format, the picture will appear scrambled if you try
Progressive Scan on the DVD/VCR Receiver.
1. Connect the COMPONENT/PROGRESSIVE SCAN
VIDEO OUT jacks on the DVD/VCR Receiver to the
corresponding in jacks on the TV using Y Pb Pr
cable (C).

Connections (Continued)
Speaker System Connections
Connect the speakers using the supplied speaker cords
by matching the colors of the terminals and those of the
cords. To obtain the best possible surround sound,
adjust the speaker parameters (distance, level, etc.).
Notes
Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate
terminal on the components: 3 to 3 and # to #. If
the cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted
and lack bass.
If you use front speakers with low maximum input rat-
ing, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive
volume output to the speakers.
Do not disassemble the front covers of supplied speakers.
Speaker Positioning
For a normal setup use 6 speakers (2 front speakers,
center speaker, 2 rear speakers and subwoofer).
• Front Speakers
Based on your listening position, set up the speakers
at equal distance. And by hearing position, set up an
interval between speakers of 45 degree.
• Center Speaker
It is ideal that the center speakers and front speakers
are same height. But normally place it above or below
the television as shown below.
• Rear Speakers
Place the rear surround speakers to the left and right
behind the primary listening area. These speakers
recreate sound motion and atmosphere required for
surround playback. For best results, do not install the
rear speakers too far behind the listening position,
install them at or above the level of the listener’s ears.
It is also effective to direct the rear speakers towards
a wall or ceiling to further disperse the sound.
In the case of a smaller room size, if the audience is
near to the rear wall set the rear speakers opposite
each other, and set the rear speakers 60 - 90 cm
above the listener’s ears.
• Subwoofer
This can be placed in any front position.
