ABOUT THE HARD DISK DRIVE (HDD)  
Like any HDD, the HDD in the recorder is a fragile device that is susceptible to partial or complete failure if it is  
jarred or as a result of use over time. It will not last forever. Therefore, do not use the HDD for long-term storage  
of the programs you wish to retain. (If portions of the HDD become damaged, programs recorded on those  
portions may exhibit pixelisation or blocked noise when played back. Repeated playback of the program may  
cause the problem to get worse and, eventually the program may become unplayable. If you noticed such noise  
in a program that you want to save, you should archive the program using a VCR as soon as possible and delete  
the affected program.) A periodical cleanup of the HDD is advisable by doing a Format Hard Disk. Refer to page  
36.  
If it becomes necessary to service your recorder, it may be necessary to delete some or all of the programs on  
the HDD.  
Using the recorder outside the operating temperature range (5ºC ~ 40ºC) may cause the HDD to be non-  
functional (even when the recorder is powered on) or to display with error status. Use this recorder only within  
the operating temperature.  
The internal HDD has a limited life span that is dependent on the frequency of usage. Extremely heavy usage  
shortens the life span and causes the HDD to function abnormally. When all the recorded programs start to show  
noise in the display, it may be time to replace the HDD. Consult your local dealer for replacement of HDD.  
If you see no signs of activity in the HDD during recording or playback, stop using the recorder and remove the  
power plug from the wall socket immediately. Consult the local dealer for service. Ignoring this condition may  
cause the damage of the HDD to be aggravated.  
NOTES ON RECORDING  
When you record important contents, make trial operations beforehand to ensure the recorder can function  
properly.  
Toshiba does not compensate for content that was not recorded because of some malfunction of this  
product during operation, and is not liable for incidental damages (such as profit loss or interruption of  
business, etc.) produced in such conditions.  
When the power cord is disconnected or when a power failure occurs during any operation of this product,  
all contents recorded in this recorder may be erased.  
If a program you have set a timer recording includes copy restriction signals, it may not be recorded. When  
programming a recording, confirm that the program you want to record is not copy-restricted.  
NOTES ON COPYRIGHT  
It is forbidden by law to copy, broadcast, show, broadcast on cable and play in public copyrighted material  
without permission.  
This product incorporates copyright protection technology related to A/V media, that is designed to prevent  
copying and hence upon the detection of such signal, the display may be prohibited. This applies to timer  
recording as well.  
This product incorporates copyright protection technology that is protected by method claims of certain U.S.  
patents and other intellectual property rights owned by Macrovision Corporation and other rights owners.

NOTES ON HANDLING  
This unit contains an internal HDD, which is susceptible to surrounding environmental changes such as  
shock, vibration and temperature. Take note of the following points to avoid loss of recorded content:  
1. Do not apply shock or vibration to the unit.  
2. Do not use the unit on a shaky or unstable place.  
3. Do not install the unit on a non-flat surface.  
4. Do not cover up the ventilation holes of the unit.  
5. Do not use the unit in a high temperature environment or environment with extreme changes in  
temperature.  
6. Unless in an emergency, do not remove the power plug from the wall socket while HDD access  
(read/write) is in progress (as indicated by the Front Panel display). This may result in loss of recorded  
data.  
7. Toshiba is not liable to any damage or loss of recorded data due to shock, vibration and misuse.  
8. Never remove the top cover, disassemble or modify the unit. These actions may cause the recorded  
data to be destroyed. Moreover, removing the top cover voids the warranty even if the product is within  
the warranty period.  
When the unit is in use, sounds due to the internal HDD disk movement, sometimes even during standby  
mode. This is not a malfunction.  
When moving the unit to a remote location, cover the unit with a piece of cloth to prevent injury. Also, take  
care not to shake or apply shock to the unit.  
The top cover or rear panel may become warm after operating for a long time. This is not a malfunction.  
Do not use insecticide sprays, etc., near the unit. Also, do not leave rubber or plastic objects in contact with  
the unit for long periods of time. This may cause discoloring of this unit’s finish.  
Keep the original packing that this unit came in and use it to re-pack the unit when moving or transporting.  
ABOUT CLEANING  
Do not use solvents such as benzene, alcohol or thinner to clean the unit. These solvents may distort the  
chassis or damage its finish. If rubber or vinyl products remain in contact with the unit for a long time, a stain  
may result.  
When the unit becomes dirty, clean it gently with a piece of soft, dry cloth.  
When the unit is very dirty, remove the power plug from the wall socket and use a piece of damp cloth to  
wipe the unit clean. Finish the cleaning with a piece of dry cloth.

INTRODUCTION  
TOSHIBA’s HDD-J35 Digital High Definition Receiver and HDD Recorder is the first of its kind that can do  
recording and playback of digital high definition programs. With its twin Digital Tuners and built-in HDD, this  
latest Toshiba’s digital video creation lets you embark on a true digital lifestyle.  
FEATURES  
M HD 1080i/720p/576p Capability  
High Definition (HD) brings a wide-screen format to the home television as well as a sharper picture. This unit  
accepts all DTV formats, including 1080i, 720p and 576p.  
M Large-Capacity Hard Disk Drive  
With a 160GB HDD, this unit allows you to record around 18 - 22 hoursΔ of High Definition video content.  
M HDMI™1  
Toshiba HDD-J35 incorporates the High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) technology to provide the best  
video and audio quality over a single cable.  
M Video Format Auto-Switch  
The HDD-J35 recorder has the capability of automatically switching the output video format to match the native  
video format coming from the broadcaster. This reduces possible distortion due to up/down conversions.  
M Pause TV  
This useful function allows you to “pause” a live program and then return to it later. When you are interrupted by  
other matters while watching live TV program, you can now pause the TV program by activating the time slip  
function. The live broadcast will be temporarily stored on the hard disk. Having finished the matters, you can  
continue watching from the scene paused. You can now enjoy every exciting moments of TV broadcast yet  
handling other matters in between.  
M Chase Play  
This feature gives you the convenience of starting the playback from the beginning of the program currently  
being recorded without disrupting the recording continuously. With this function, you enjoy better control over the  
playback of recorded contents, as you do not need to spend time waiting helplessly especially when recording a  
long program.  
M Dolby® Digital2  
Dolby® Digital is the surround sound technology used in theatres showing the latest movies, and is now  
available to reproduce this realistic effect in the home. You can enjoy motion pictures and live concert TV  
programs with this dynamic realistic sound by connecting HDD-J35 to a 6-channel amplifier equipped with a  
Dolby® Digital decoder.  
M Auxiliary Input (L1/L2)  
You may connect your Cable TV box and DVD player via the Composite, Component Video and Stereo Audio  
input connectors located at the back of the HDD-J35 recorder and display through HDMI output.  
M PIP (Picture-in-Picture)  
This feature gives you the ability to view 2 different live channels at the same time. Moreover, during playback of  
a recorded program, you can activate the sub-window to concurrently watch another live TV broadcast or the  
program being recorded, and even the playback of contents via the Auxiliary Input (L1/L2). The PIP window can  
be moved to any corner of the screen or be formed as a double window.  
Δ Actual number of hours varies depending on the content and quality of the program that is being broadcasted.

INSTALLING THE RECORDER  
Follow steps A to C below. Your recorder will be ready to display digital programs on your TV.  
STEP A: CONNECTIONS  
DO NOT PLUG THE RECORDER INTO THE MAINS YET.  
Before you use this recorder, it is necessary to connect it to your TV.  
1
CONNECTING TO TV  
1-1. Connection to Antenna  
Disconnect the antenna cable from your TV and connect it to the “ANT. 1 IN” terminal on the back of the  
recorder.  
1-2. RF Loop-through Connection  
To achieve RF loop-through for the in-built twin RF tuners, connect the RF Coaxial Connectors (supplied) to the  
“RF 1 OUT” and “ANT. 2 IN” terminals as shown in the diagram below.  
1-3. “RF OUT” Connection to TV or VCR  
The “RF 2 OUT” provides you a RF loop-through function to receive analogue TV programs as well as digital  
programs (for Integrated Digital TVs only). Use an RF coaxial cable (not supplied) to connect the HDD-J35 “RF 2  
OUT” terminal to TV’s or VCR’s antenna input.  
Before connecting or disconnecting the antenna cable, unplug the recorder, VCR, TV and  
antenna booster, if any.

1-4. Connections to TV – Video Connection  
In the accessory box, you will find two sets of cables: One is the component video cable (with red, green and  
blue connectors) and the other is the Audio/Video cable (with yellow, white and red connectors).  
For better video quality, it is recommended that you use the HDMI cable, the Mini D-Sub 15-pin cable or the  
RGBHV video cable (with 5 RCA connectors). These cables are not included in the HDD-J35 package.  
HD MODE Switch selection is essential for several outputs. Refer to the HD MODE Switch table on page 71 for  
making the correct switch selection according to your output connection.  
You have 6 choices for connecting the video output from the recorder to your TV. Use only one of the following  
connections (with (a), (b) or (c) being the best choice):  
(a) HDMI connection: If your TV has HDMI input, use a HDMI cable (not supplied) to connect the  
recorder to your TV. HDMI supports video and multi-channel audio in a single cable, therefore  
separate connection for audio is not necessary.

Mini D-Sub 15-pin cable (not supplied) to connect the recorder to your TV. Set the HD MODE Switch  
(refer to page 12) to RGB, and then connect the RGB connector on the rear of the recorder to the  
corresponding socket on the TV.  
Do not connect any PC monitor to the recorder via Mini D-Sub 15-pin cable.

on the remote control.  
4.  
A message “Database is Empty” should appear after a while. If you can see the message, go to Step 5  
directly; However, if you cannot see the message on the screen even after a long time, change the video format  
by pressing V.FORMAT button on remote control or on the front panel. Press V.FORMAT button until you see  
the message “Database is Empty”.  
Note: When you press V.FORMAT button, the Video Format Indicator on the recorder’s front panel will display  
among “576i” (for HD MODE Switch being set to YPBPR only), “AUTO”, “1080i”, “720p” and “576p”. After you  
press V.FORMAT button, make sure the front panel display has changed before you press the button again.

The “AUTO SCAN” feature allows you to scan all predefined digital TV and Radio channels in Australia. The  
steps required to automatically program the recorder are outlined as below:  
1. Highlight “AUTO SCAN” and press the  
“ENTER” button to start channel search.  
2. The recorder starts scanning from channel 2  
to channel 69. The status bar shows the  
progress being made.  
3. Once a digital TV/Radio channel is found, the  
channel number and program name will be  
shown.  
4. When you see the message “>>> SCAN  
COMPLETE <<<”, you have completed tuning  
your recorder. If no channel is found, refer to  
“TROUBLESHOOTING” in Appendix 2.  
Notes:  
1. Auto scan process may take about 18 minutes to  
complete.  
2. Recorder is defaulted to TV mode instead of Radio  
mode after AUTO SCAN.

MANUAL SETUP  
1. On the “INSTALLATION” page, highlight “MANUAL  
SETUP” and press the “ENTER” button.  
2. Select channel number. Be sure you know the  
channel number and its RF frequency. You may  
refer to Digital TV and Radio channel table in  
Appendix 1.  
3. Press  
N
button to highlight “Frequency”,  
“Bandwidth” and “Priority” to make sure the  
parameters are correct, then press “ ” button to  
N
highlight “Start Scan” and press the “ENTER”  
button to start scanning.  
If scanning is successful, “Start Scan” will change to “Get Channel Success” and signal quality will be  
shown. At this point you can press “EXIT” to leave “MANUAL SETUP” or continue scanning other channels.  
If scanning is unsuccessful, “Start Scan” will change to “Timeout Error”. At this point you can rescan  
the signal or refer to the SIGNAL LEVEL bar and signal QUALITY for aligning the direction of the  
antenna to get the signal. Refer to your antenna installer if problem persists.  
Notes:  
1. For Australia, the BANDWIDTH should be 7MHz.  
2. The PRIORITY should be set to “HIGH” for Australia.  
3. SIGNAL LEVEL refers to the input RF signal strength as perceived by the recorder. Note that too  
strong a signal may cause erroneous readings. If you use an antenna booster and find that you still  
get a low signal level, your booster gain may be set too high. In this case, adjust the gain  
accordingly. You may also see the OSD “Bad or No Signal” or “Weak Signal” when the signal level is  
low.  
QUALITY refers to the quality of the received digital signal. A high value of quality means that there  
are few errors in the signal. In the same way, a low value of quality implies that there are a large  
number of errors in the signal, which may cause distortions in video and audio.  
SNR is the signal-to-noise ratio. A high SNR value means that you have a reasonably good  
reception (good signal level and good quality).  
RESET DATA  
Use this function when you want to clear channel data and reset the password to default (“0000”).  
This function is to be used under any one of the following circumstances:  
When the “Region Selection” menu does not appear on step 6 of page 27;  
When moving to another city.  
1. On the “INSTALLATION” page, highlight “RESET  
DATA” and press the “ENTER” button.  
2. Select “YES” to restore to default data.  
3. The recorder will reboot automatically. You will see  
a message “Database Empty” after the boot up  
process. You can then proceed to set up your  
recorder by following the instructions on page 27.

(6) Not all channels are available after using Try "MANUAL SETUP" to scan these missing channels.  
“AUTO SCAN” when installing the  
recorder for the first time  
This phenomenon is caused by unexpected frequency offset, for  
instance, in Sunshine Coast Australia, channels 47 and 65 are  
transmitted on 662.625 and 788.625MHz by 125kHz offset to the  
legitimate frequencies 662.5 and 788.5MHz. HDD-J35 can receive these  
channels by “AUTO SCAN” most of the time, but we suggest that you  
use “MANUAL SETUP” when installing the recorder for the first time.  
Once the recorder picks up the signal, all the transmission parameters  
will be stored in the recorder's memory.  
(7) Not all channels are available after using (a) Try "AUTO SCAN" to scan all the channels.

4 GLOSSARY  
APPENDIX  
* Aspect Ratio: It is the ratio of the width of the screen to the height. The two relevant digital TV formats are  
16:9 (wide-screen) or 4:3 (the traditional screen ratio). 16:9 is more ergonomically suitable for the human eye.  
* Bandwidth: It is the frequency range that allows for carrying a certain radio signal.  
* Coaxial Cable: A type of cable used to transmit high frequency signals e.g. from the VHF/UHF antenna to the  
terrestrial Digital TV recorder.  
* Composite Video: There are three elements of the video system: First - the "active video" which means the  
picture to be displayed on the screen and its associated colors; second - the "sync" decides where to place  
each pixel on the screen; third - the "blanking” tells the display when to turn off the electron beam so no retrace  
across the screen. These three elements combined together is called "composite video" when connecting to a  
display through connectors.  
* Dolby® Digital: Dolby® Digital is a method of transmitting and storing multi-channel soundtracks via newer  
digital media such as DVD, digital cable, digital TV (DTV), and satellite transmissions.  
* DVB: Abbreviation for "Digital Video Broadcasting". An international organization created in October 1993,  
whose primary objective is to achieve a common framework for all technical platforms of digital broadcasting  
systems including DVB-C (cable), DVB-S (satellite) and DVB-T (terrestrial), etc.  
* EPG: Stands for "Electronic Program Guide". It is an application that allows viewers to navigate through the  
large number of channels offered by digital TV broadcasters.  
* Frequency: The property of a signal measured in cycles per second (=Hertz).  
* HDCP: HDCP is a specification developed by Intel Corporation to protect digital entertainment content across  
the HDMI interface.  
* HDMI: Abbreviation for High-Definition Multimedia Interface. HDMI combines high-definition video and multi-  
channel audio in a single digital interface to provide crystal-clear digital quality over a single cable.  
* Letterbox: The picture with aspect ratio 16:9 in a 4:3 TV screen with blank lines on top and bottom. It is the  
means to watch a wide screen TV program on a 4:3 TV screen.  
* Megahertz (MHz): Millions of cycles per second, which describes frequencies of radio wave or electric current.  
* Mini D-Sub 15-pin Cable: A type of video cable used to carry analogue RGB video signals.  
* OSD: Stands for "On Screen Display". It provides clearer menu functions by using the TV or monitor to display  
the menu while the controls are on the remote control.  
* PVR: Abbreviation for Personal Video Recorder. Provides settings for recording purposes.  
* RF Channel: Radio Frequency Channel, for instance channel 28 for SBS Network in analogue TV transmission.  
However, in digital TV, one RF channel may carry 4 to 6 sub-channels like SBS HD and SBS Digital.  
* RGB: Stands for Red, Green and Blue. RGB video is the highest quality video currently used in the AV industry.  
* S-Video (also called Y/C): The standard for the way a video signal is carried on the cable. Y represents  
brightness and C represents color. S-Video cables have separate wires for the color and brightness so it offers  
a better picture quality than the composite video.  
* VHF: Stands for "Very High Frequency", starts from 30 to 300MHz corresponding to channels 2-12, including  
Bands I, II and III.  
* Video format: It is the picture resolution of the video defined as number of pixels per line x number of  
horizontal lines, interlaced/progressive.  
For Standard Definition (SD), the picture resolution is 720 pixels  
×
576 lines, interlaced (576i).

APPENDIX  
6 INSTRUCTION GUIDE FOR PROGRAMMING REMOTE CONTROL  
The remote control can be compatible with various brands of TV by setting their control codes. The TOSHIBA  
code has initially been set to control TOSHIBA TVs. Refer to the four methods below for programming your  
remote control and use the one that best suits your setup. (Note: Every change of batteries in the remote control  
unit will result in a reset to the default Toshiba code of 138)  
Due to the great variety of TV systems, some makes and models are not compatible with your recorder’s remote  
control. If you reach the end of the available codes without finding a code that works with your device, you will  
need to use your TV system’s remote control to turn it on and off, and control the volume. Even if the code is  
found, there is a possibility that not all the buttons on your recorder’s remote control will work with your TV.  
Control codes for regions Europe, USA and China are available on pages 79 to 86.  
1. Programming  
(a)  
Refer to the code list for the 3-digit code of the TV brand.  
(b)  
(c)  
Press the “TV FUNCTION” button  
to set the remote control operating your TV.  
Press and hold the “PROG.” button, then enter the three digits of your TV brand code using the  
“CHANNEL NUMBER” buttons.  
(d)  
Check response on LED with every digit pressed;  
1) LED lights up after the first digit press  
2) LED blinks once after the second digit press  
3) If the code is available, LED goes off after the third digit press or else the LED will blink twice and  
goes off, indicating unavailable code. Go back to step (c) if an unavailable code was entered.  
Release “PROG.” button to leave the programming mode.  
(e)  
(f)  
Point the remote control at your TV and use each button listed below to make sure your TV is  
operated correctly. (Refer to page 14 and 15 for location of buttons on remote control unit)
