Installation  
Moisture condensation precautions  
Follow these recommendations and precautions and heed all  
warnings when installing your device.  
33) To prevent damage, never use the Symbio AVHD recorder  
when moisture condensation appears on the device.  
19) Always provide a minimum of 4 inches (10 cm) of space around all  
sides of the device to allow proper ventilation.  
Read the following carefully before installing the device.  
Moisture condensation can occur in the following situations:  
• When you move the device from a cold or air conditioned room to a  
hot, humid room.  
• When you use the device in an area in which the temperature rises  
or changes rapidly.  
• When you place the device in an area in which cold air from an air  
conditioner directly hits the device.  
• When you use the device in a humid area.  
20) When choosing a location for the device, take into consideration the  
potential for damage to the device from moisture condensation. Read  
item 33, “Moisture condensation precautions,” at right.  
21) Always place the device on a level surface. Never use the device  
on a shaky, vibrating, or unstable surface such as a wobbly table or  
inclined stand. Before installing the device, make sure the surface  
can bear the weight of the device.  
Using the device when moisture condensation exists may  
damage the hard disc drive and other parts, and is deemed  
misuse. Toshiba is not liable for any damage or loss caused  
directly or indirectly by such misuse, and any such damage is  
not covered under the Symbio warranty.  
22)  
CAUTION: Risk of personal injury or serious  
equipment damage. Never place the device  
in a high location. The device may fall, causing personal

Welcome to Toshiba  
Features of your new Symbio  
AVHD recorder  
Thank you for purchasing this Toshiba Symbio AVHD (audio/  
video hard drive) recorder. The goal of this manual is to guide  
you through setting up and operating your Symbio as quickly  
as possible.  
Toshibas Symbio model 160HD4 is an audio/video hard drive  
(AVHD) recorder designed specifically for high definition  
television (HDTV). The Symbio connects via IEEE-1394  
interface to Toshibas 2004 model year integrated HD televisions  
to offer control over digital video recording and playback.  
This manual applies to Toshiba Symbio AVHD recorder  
model 160HD4.  
Please read all safety and operating instructions in this  
manual carefully, and keep this manual for future  
reference.  
Unlike a traditional VCR, where you have to wait for a program  
to finish recording before you can start watching it, the Symbio  
AVHD recorder allows you to pause live TV.For example,  
you can pause, rewind, and play back a program while it is being  
recorded.* Since there is no tape to rewind, you can view a  
program that started recording 20 minutes ago, even while it is  
still recording.  
Supplied items  
Symbio also offers one-touch recording of both standard and  
high definition programs through the no-fee TV Guide  
On Screeninteractive program guide built in to your Toshiba  
integrated HD television.

Using the TV remote control to  
operate the Symbio AVHD recorder  
Important information about AVHD  
recording and playback  
The Symbio AVHD recorder uses commands similar to those  
on a standard VCR, including RECORD, PLAY, FORWARD,  
REVERSE (REWIND), and PAUSE. When the Symbio AVHD  
recorder is connected to your Toshiba integrated HD television  
and the remote control is in TVmode, the applicable  
remote control buttons will operate the Symbio (see illustration  
below).  
Never disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet or  
break the power supply to the Symbio AVHD recorder during  
recording or playback. When the power cord is disconnected  
or a power failure occurs during any operation of the  
recorder, some recorded content (typically content in the  
recording buffer) may be lost or become irretrievable or  
inaccessible.  
Recorded image and sound quality depend very much on  
signal reception. Reception may be poor in weak signal areas.  
In this event, either consult your dealer or purchase a  
commercially available antenna booster. Refer to the antenna  
booster owners manual for installation details.  
Use remote control model CT-90216 (provided with your  
Toshiba integrated HD televsion) to operate your Symbio  
AVHD recorder. The buttons related to the Symbio AVHD  
recorder are described below. For a complete list of the remote  
controls functions, refer to the owners manual for your  
Toshiba integrated-HD television.  
Before recording important content, make a trial recording  
to confirm proper connection and function of your Symbio  
AVHD recorder. Toshiba is not liable for any damage or loss  
caused directly or indirectly by the malfunction of the  
Symbio AVHD recorder, including, without limitation, failure  
to record content intended to be recorded by the consumer.  
To use the remote control to operate the Symbio:  
Press MODE to select TVmode. (See your TV owners  
manual for additional details about the remote control.)  
If you attempt to change channels or inputs while a recording  
is in progress, the message NOT AVAILABLE WHILE  
RECORDINGwill appear on-screen.  
MODE selects the remote control mode.  
Select “TV” mode when using the Symbio  
AVHD recorder.  
Standard Definition (SD) programming is typically  
transmitted at 4 to 8 megabits per second, depending on the  
content and content provider. High Definition (HD)  
programming is typically transmitted at 19 megabits per  
second. Although HD programming is higher quality, it may  
take up more than 3 times as much space on your Symbios  
hard drive as SD programming of the same length.
