Precautions  
Notes on handling  
Playback restrictions  
• Never disconnect the power cord from a wall outlet while  
the player is turned on, unless it is in an emergency. Doing  
so may cause malfunction.  
• When shipping the player, the original shipping carton  
and packing materials come in handy. 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  
player. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact  
with the player for a long time. They will leave marks on  
the finish.  
This owner’s manual explains the basic instructions for  
this player. Some HD DVD discs or DVD video discs  
are produced in a manner that allows specific or limited  
operation during playback. As such, the player may not  
respond to all operating commands. This is not a defect in  
the player. Please refer to the notes on compatible discs  
later in this Introduction and to the discussion of DVD  
playback and features later in this manual.  
“ ” may appear on the TV screen during operation. “ ”  
means that the operation is not permitted by the player or  
the disc.  
• The top and rear panels of the player may become warm  
after a long period of use. This is not a malfunction.  
About software  
Because of problems and errors that can occur during  
the creation of HD DVD, DVD and CD software and/or  
the manufacture of HD DVD, DVD and CD discs, Toshiba  
cannot assure that this player will successfully play every  
disc bearing the HD DVD, DVD or CD logos. If you happen  
to experience any difficulty playing an HD DVD, DVD or  
CD disc on this player, please contact Toshiba Customer  
Service.  
When not in use  
• For usual absence  
Be sure to remove the disc from the player and turn off the  
power.  
• Prolonged absence  
Unplug the player from a wall outlet. (This will stop the  
clock. Display “SETUP MENU” by pressing SETUP (  
page 30), and reset the clock.)  
Some differences  
Notes on locating  
The HD DVD player operates more like a computer and  
differently than a standard DVD player. In addition to  
containing a microprocessor, it contains an operating  
system, random access memory (RAM), and an HD DVD  
drive. The operating system includes software that is  
transferred to the RAM when the machine is turned on and  
at other times during operation. This transfer can take time.  
Therefore, when you turn the HD DVD player on, it may  
take a little while before it is ready to use. Likewise, other  
functions may not be performed as quickly as they would  
on other AV equipment. Please take these factors into  
consideration as you use the HD DVD player.  
• Place the player on a level surface. Do not use it on a  
shaky or unstable surface such as a wobbly table or  
inclined stand. The loaded disc may dislodge from its  
proper position and cause damage to the player. Before  
placing the player, make sure that the surface can stand  
the weight of the player. Never place the player in a high  
location to avoid damage to the product or person by an  
accidental fall of the player.  
• When you place this player near a TV, radio, or VCR, the  
playback picture may become poor and the sound may be  
distorted depending on the condition and location of said  
equipment. In such an event, place the player as far away  
as practical from the TV, radio, or VCR.  
• To avoid damage to this product, never place or store the  
unit in direct sunlight; hot, humid areas; or areas subject to  
excessive dust, oily smoke, cigarette smoke or vibration.  
Notes on cleaning  
Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.  
• Do not use any type of solvent, such as thinner or benzine,  
as they may damage the surface of the player.  
About the volume level  
The volume level of some commercial HD DVD and DVD  
discs may seem lower than that of audio CDs, other  
software, etc. If you turn up the volume of the TV or amplifier  
to play such discs, be sure to turn it back down after  
playback finishes.

Important notes about HD DVD  
HD DVD with high-definition content required for HD  
viewing. Viewing high-definition content and up-converting  
DVD content may require an HDCP capable DVI or HDMI  
input on your display device. Up-conversion of DVD content  
will result in near HD picture quality. Firmware update may  
be required for some interactive features depending on  
content, which may also require an always-on broadband  
internet connection. Some features may require additional  
bandwidth. Some recordable media may not be supported.  
Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD and DTS support for  
up to 5.1 channels (DTS HD support for DTS core only).  
MP3/WMA audio files not supported. Because HD DVD is  
a new format that makes use of new technologies, certain  
disc, digital connection and other compatibility and/or  
performance issues are possible. This may, in rare cases,  
include disc freezing while accessing certain disc features  
or functions, or certain parts of the disc not playing back or  
operating as fully intended. If you experience such issues,  
around solutions or the availability of firmware updates that  
may resolve your problem, or contact Toshiba Customer  
Solutions. Some features subject to delayed availability.  
1080p capable display required for 1080p output resolution.  
In some cases, the included remote control may not operate  
additional devices or certain features of such devices, in  
which case, it is suggested that you use the original remote  
control for the applicable device. Use of HDMI Control  
which is a feature based on HDMI-CEC requires an HDMI-  
CEC compatible display device. While every effort has been  
made at the time of publication to ensure the accuracy of  
the information provided herein, product specifications,  
configurations, system/component/options availability are all  
subject to change without notice.  
• An HDMI jack for connecting a single cable to output video  
and audio signals

*Why HDMI connection is most recommended?  
HD DVD and DVD video disc creators have the option to include copy protection instructions in their discs that prohibit the  
output of some standard video or high definition video (original 720p, 1080i or 1080p or up-converted 480i or 480p) from the  
COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks. If such instructions are present in the disc you are playing, you must use the HDMI  
OUTPUT jack to view the disc in a high definition format and the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks, if activated, will  
output video only in 480i or 480p resolution.

Step 1: Connecting to a TV  
• Connect the player directly to your TV. If you connect the player to a VCR, TV/VCR combination, video selector  
or AV amplifier, the playback picture may be distorted due to copy protection.  
• Be sure to turn off the power and unplug both units from the wall outlet before making any connections.  
Via HDMI input  
Notes  
To view 1080p output, make this connection.  
When the HDMI connection is not verified, an error message appears  
on the front panel display. In this case, disconnect the HDMI cable then  
connect it again, or turn off the connected HDMI device then turn it on.  
HDMI transfers digital audio and uncompressed digital video on  
a single cable. As a result, audio cables and video cables don’t  
need to be connected separately to a device.  
• HDMI output is digital only, DVI analog is not supported.  
• HDMI is an evolving technology, so it is possible that some devices  
may not operate properly with this player.  
HDMI cable (not supplied)  
• To get the most possible benefit from Dolby Digital Plus, you should  
connect your HD DVD player to your AV receiver using its HDMI  
input. If your AV receiver has this type of input, make sure it is  
connected to your HD DVD player and that the input is set to use  
audio from HDMI (and not the SPDIF coaxial or optical input). If your  
AV receiver does not have an HDMI input, then the next best choice  
is to use the SPDIF (coaxial or optical) input on your AV receiver.  
• If you use the SPDIF optical output or analog outputs to connect  
your audio system and have the “Digital Out HDMI” ( page 22) set  
to “Auto” or “PCM”, the audio output level from these jacks will be  
reduced when listening to a multichannel disc. To restore the audio  
output level, set “Digital Out HDMI” to “Downmixed PCM”.

Note  
• This player supports simultaneous output of video on its HDMI and component video ports. However, some discs may restrict output of video  
on the component video ports when viewing high definition content or up-converted DVD content. The resolution on the HDMI output will be  
the same as the resolution output on the component video output. Thus, because the HDMI output can change automatically to match the  
maximum available resolution of your display, if you connect both the HDMI output and component output, the resolution on the component  
output will change if the HDMI output auto-adjusts.

You can enjoy the benefits of Dolby Digital Plus or Dolby TrueHD by connecting the HDMI OUTPUT jack of your player

Select any resolution except “up to 1080p/24Hz”  
You may find that setting the output resolution of the player to match as closely as possible the native resolution of your  
display provides the best picture performance (e.g., 720p for 720p and 1080p for 1080p).  
Note  
• In case the menu of “Resolution Setting” disappears, make composite video (yellow) connection to restore it, then select the  
resolution which is compatible with the connected TV.  
HD DVD DVD-Video  
For best view of movie material (24p output)  
Movie films are traditionally captured at 24 frames per second and this player can maintain this frame  
rate allowing you to enjoy in their native form. Connect a 1080p/24Hz compatible TV and select “up to  
1080p/24Hz”.  
Note  
• Most film based HD DVDs display images at 24 frames per second and video based HD DVDs display images at 30 frames or  
60 fields per second. Depending on the content, “up to 1080p/24Hz” may lower smoothness of playback and/or reduce vertical  
resolution. In the case of video based HD DVDs, we recommend that the output resolution setting is changed from “up to  
1080p/24Hz”.

arising out of, or otherwise relating to: (i) this warranty; (ii) the  
Player; (iii) any oral or written representations, statements,  
brochures, press releases, advertising, announcement, point of  
sale display, or promotional material relating to the Player; (iv) the  
relationships that result from this warranty, (the foregoing claims,  
disputes controversies and disagreements are collectively referred  
to as the “Dispute”), shall be referred to and resolved by final and  
binding arbitration (to the exclusion of the courts). To the extent

arbitrator pursuant to the laws and rules relating to arbitration  
generally in force in the jurisdiction in which you reside at the time  
that the Dispute arises. To the extent not precluded by law, no  
claim, dispute, controversy or disagreement of any other person  
may be joined or combined with any Dispute by you, without the  
prior written consent of TCL.
