IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
13. LIGHTNING
To protect your unit from a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time,
unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the
unit due to lightning and power line surges.
14. POWER LINES
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric
light or power circuits, or where it can fall onto or against such power lines or circuits. When installing an
outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits,
as contact with them might be fatal.
15. OVERLOADING
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
16. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY
Do not push objects through any openings in this unit, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short
out parts that could result in fire or electric shock. Never spill or spray any type of liquid into the unit.
17. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the unit, be sure the antenna or cable system is
grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges, Section 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast
and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for
the grounding electrode.

Disc
Title/Chapter/Track
When recording in the Video mode
A DVD-Video has large partitions called “Titles”, and
smaller partitions within them called “Chapters”.
A music CD has other partitions called “Tracks”.A num-
ber is allotted to each partition and these numbers are
called“title numbers”, “chapter numbers” or “track num-
bers”.
When a disc recorded in the Video mode is finalized, it
cannot be recorded onto any mode. Therefore, before
finalization, be sure to perform all desired recording.
After finalization, a title list that can be used by the DVD
player is automatically created.
NOTES:

• The finalization process may require from a few min-
utes up to 1 hour depending on the disc type and the
amount of free space on the disc.

• A DVD-RW Ver.1.1/1.2 recorded in the Video mode
cannot be recorded or edited after finalization. But if
you format the disc by erasing all the content, you
can record on this disc again.

When recording in the VR mode
On Video CDs
One-time recording is set to 1 title (1 chapter). How-
ever, if you stop recording temporarily or erase scenes
by editing, the chapter will automatically be partitioned.
The interval between chapters can be specified. (See
page 29.)
This DVD supports Video CDs equipped with the
PBC (Version 2.0) function. (PBC is the abbreviation
of Playback Control.) You can enjoy two playback
variations depending on types of discs.
• Video CD not equipped with PBC function
(Version 1.1)
Sound and movie can be played on this DVD in the
same way as an audio CD.
• Video CD equipped with PBC function
(Version 2.0)
In addition to operation of a Video CD not equipped
with the PBC function, you can enjoy playback of
interactive software with search function by using
the menu displayed on the TV screen (Menu
Playback). Some of the functions described in this
owner’s manual may not work with some discs.
When recording in the Video mode
One-time recording is set to 1 title. In recording, chap-
ters are set automatically. The interval between chap-
ters can be specified. (See page 29.)
NOTES:
• The title, chapter and track are numbered, but some
discs may not record the numbers.
• Recording on DVD-R/RW in the Video mode is a new
standard approved at the 2000 DVD forum. Confor-
mity to this standard varies with each DVD player
manufacturer. Some models of DVD player or DVD-
ROM drive, therefore, will not playback recorded vid-
eos.
• Toshiba is not liable for any damage or loss caused
directly or indirectly by the malfunction of this DVD/
VCR, including, without limitation, any one of the
following:
• Failure to record contents intended to be recorded
by the consumer.
• Failure to edit contents as intended by the consumer.
• When a DVD-RAM disc or a DVD-R disc created on
this recorder is used (e.g., insertion, playback,
recording or editing) in another DVD player, recorder
or personal computer drive.
• When a DVD-RAM disc or a DVD-R disc that is used
in the manner described in the immediately
preceding bullet point is used again in this recorder.
• When a DVD-RAM disc or a DVD-R disc that was
recorded in another DVD recorder, or in a personal
computer drive is used in this recorder.
Disc playback in other players
DVD-RW/R recorded in this unit can be finalized. The
disc can be played back in other players that can
playback DVD-RW and DVD-R.
For more information on finalization, see “Finalize” in
“Setting the Disc” (page 30).
When recording in the VR mode
Even if a DVD-RW disc recorded in the VR mode is
finalized, you can record or edit by cancelling the
finalization. (See “Finalize” on page 30.)
When you playback the disc with another player, make
sure that the DVD player supports DVD-RW.
• Discs recorded in this recorder may not operate as
expected on other DVD players, recorders or
personal computer drives.

This DVD/VCR requires discs and recordings to meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal
playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different types
of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 or WMA files) and these require certain pre-
existing conditions (see above) to ensure compatible playback. Because this area of technology is still
evolving, Toshiba cannot guarantee that all recordable discs will produce optimal playback quality.The
technical criteria set forth in this owner’s manual are meant only as a guide.
Please be advised that you must obtain permission from the applicable copyright owners to download
copyrighted content, including music files, in any format, including the MP3 and WMA formats, prior to the

• This mode involves multiple editing functions.
• Various editing options using a created Playlist.
NOTE:
If a power failure occurs or the AC
cord plug is disconnected, the pro-
gram being recorded will be lost, or
the disc may not be playable when
perform recording, editing, initializ-
ing, finalizing or any other function.
Manufacturer cannot guarantee the
loss of program or disc occurrence.
To start recording again, re-format
the disc or use a new disc and follow
the instruction on recording.
DVD-RW (Video mode)/-R
• Simple editing (renaming titles).
For more information on recording format, see “Recording for-
mat” (page 10).
Recording modes
There are 4 modes for recording on disc. Recording time and quality
vary according to mode.

• When recording on a disc that has
been edited before.
• When the video is followed with re-
cordings of still images or just au-
dio.
Since DVD recording is performed using VBR (Variable Bit Rate), re-
cording time varies according to the recorded content.
To know the correct recording time, stop recording and check the me-
dia information. (See page 33.)
Disc remaining time
VR mode
• Recording is possible as long as there is available space on the disc.
(Finalized discs can be recorded by cancelling the finalization, see

• Erasing unnecessary title frees up available space on the disc.(Titles
can be erased from finalized discs by cancelling the finalization. See
“Undo Finalize” on page 30.)
NOTE:
Video mode
Because of characteristics peculiar
to digital video compression technol-
ogy, scenes with fast motion may
appear as a matrix of larger blocks.
• Up until the disc is finalized, recording is possible as long as there is
available space on the disc. (Once the disc has been finalized, addi-
tional recording and erasing are not possible.)
• The remaining time cannot be increased nor overwrite the recorded
title.

Editing the disc
Editing the disc
This section explains how to edit
the recorded contents on DVD-
RWs. However, the items that you
can edit vary with the recording
formats. In VR mode, you can edit
various title menus, whereas in
Video mode, you can edit only a
few items.
Title menu
When the content is recorded, a title name that includes the date, time,
channel number and other information is created automatically.
The title menu can be used when you playback after confirming the
contents (see page 32), or when you check the contents recorded on
the disc.
Original title
The titles explained above are called original titles;these will be added
with every recording. In VR mode, you can do various editing opera-
tions i.e., you can rename the titles or add the chapter marks. In addi-
tion, you can erase the unnecessary titles to increase the disc space.
Playlist
You can create a playlist based on the original titles.
You can combine or erase undesired chapters.
If you create a playlist, it will become the primary list used by the disc.
If you create a playlist to customize your viewing preferences, and
choose to delete it, the original titles will not be affected. It is recom-
mended to create and edit the playlist to prevent important titles from
being erased accidentally.
Editable items
The items that can be edited are different between original title and
playlist.

Video head cleaning
Video head clogging
The video heads are meant by which the DVD/VCR reads the picture from the tape during playback. In the unlikely
event that the heads become dirty enough to be clogged, no picture will be played back. This can easily be
determined if, during playback of a known good tape, there is good sound, but no picture (picture is extremely
snowy). If this is the case, DVD/VCR must checked by qualified service personnel.
NOTES: • DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE
REAR COVER.
• Video heads may eventually wear out and should be replaced when they fail to produce clear pictures.
• To help prevent video head clogging, use only good quality VHS tapes. Discard worn out tapes.
