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 VTR, 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 VTR.  
• 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  
Notes on web-enabled network content  
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 50/60 Hz 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.  
HDMI audio support for PCM only. 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, please contact Toshiba customer service for your  
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 REGZA-Link which is  
a feature based on HDMI-CEC requires an HDMI-CEC  
compatible display device. For 24p output, content that  
was created in 1080p / 24 frames/sec is required. Viewing  
24p output requires an HD display capable of accepting  
a 1080p/24Hz signal. 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.  
Certain HD DVD discs may contain or have the capability  
of downloading studio-provided, web-enabled network  
content. To minimize any potential compatibility and/or  
connectivity issues, before viewing such content, it is  
recommended that you perform the firmware update  
process to ensure that your HD DVD player is using the  
latest firmware version. Do not unplug or turn off the HD  
DVD player when downloading studio-provided, web-  
enabled network content. Doing so may cause data stored  
in the player’s persistent storage to be lost.  
HD output jacks  
• An HDMI jack for connecting a single cable to output  
video and audio signals  
• Component jacks  
Certain system requirements  
For high definition video playback:  
• 50/60 Hz compatible HD display (some discs may  
require HDCP capable input)  
• HD DVD disc with HD content  
For Dolby® Digital Plus and Dolby TrueHD multi-channel  
audio playback:  
• A/V Receiver with HDMI™ multi-channel LPCM capable  
audio input and 5.1 channel speaker setup.

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/576i  
or 480p/576p) 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/576i or 480p/576p resolution.

Step 1: Connecting to a TV  
• Connect the player directly to your TV. If you connect the player to a VTR, TV/VTR 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 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 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 cable (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.  
HDMI INPUT  
To HDMI OUTPUT  
• If you use the SPDIF optical output or analog outputs to connect  
your audio system and have the “Digital Out HDMI” ( page 21)  
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”.  
TV  
Depending on the TV connected, you can use the CEC  
function. For detail, see page 35.

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.

Step 2: Connecting to audio system  
Sound can output from connected audio system.  
If you made the HDMI connection between the player and a TV, this step is unnecessary. Skip to Step 3.  
Via HDMI output  
You can enjoy the benefits of Dolby Digital Plus or Dolby TrueHD by connecting the HDMI OUTPUT jack of your  
player to an AV receiver with an HDMI audio input.  
This connection requires selection of “Digital Out HDMI” (Step 16, page 21).  
Caution  
HDMI cable  
(supplied)  
• When you are connecting (via the HDMI  
OUTPUT jack) an AV decoder that does not  
have Dolby Digital or DTS decoding capability,  
be sure to set “Digital Out HDMI” ( page 21)  
to “PCM” or “Downmixed PCM”. Otherwise,  
high volume sound may damage your hearing  
as well as the speakers.

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 viewing of film movie material (24p output)  
Movies that are produced on film, as opposed to video, are traditionally captured at a frame rate of 24 frames per second. Your  
player can maintain the 24 frames per second frame rate of such movies, allowing you to enjoy them in their native form. To  
enable this feature, connect an HD display capable of accepting a 1080p/24Hz signal 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”.
