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.
Toshiba’s 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 Toshiba’s 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 Screen™ interactive 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 “TV” mode, 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 owner’s 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
control’s functions, refer to the owner’s 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 “TV” mode. (See your TV owner’s
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
RECORDING” will 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 Symbio’s
hard drive as SD programming of the same length.
