to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the
operating instructions.
11. Grounding or Polarization - This product is equipped with a
polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade
wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only
one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the

convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
appliance.
13. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna or cable
system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable
system is grounded so as to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, provides information
with regard 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

cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to
lightning and power-line surges.
15. 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 into 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.

qualified technician to restore the product to its normal operation.
e. If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way.
f. When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance this
indicates a need for service.
20. Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required, be
sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified
by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the

modulator. In this case, follow the instructions below.
1) The antenna input jack of your TV may have been already occupied. If so, disconnect the RF cable from your TV,
and then connect the RF cable to the ANTENNA IN jack of this unit.
2) Connect the ANTENNA OUT jack of this unit to your RF modulator (usually marked “ANT IN”) by the RF cable.
3) Connect your RF modulator to your TV by another RF cable.
4) Connect the AUDIO/VIDEO output jacks of this unit to the AUDIO/VIDEO input jacks of your RF modulator by
Audio/Video cables.
5) Set your RF modulator’s channel 3/4 switch to either 3 or 4, whichever the TV channel is least used in your area. If
your RF modulator has a Modulator/Antenna switch, set it according to your RF modulator’s manual.
6) Turn on your TV and choose the same channel as you set the RF modulator’s channel 3/4 switch to.
For more details, follow the instructions supplied with the RF modulator.

Recording
EN
You cannot record copy-protected video using this unit. Copy-protected video includes DVD-Video discs, some
satellite broadcast, some pay-per-view stations and some “premium” stations.
If copy-protected material is encountered during a recording, recording will pause or stop automatically and
an error message will be displayed on the screen. Video that is “copy-once only” can only be recorded using
a DVD-RW disc in VR mode with CPRM (see below).
When recording a TV broadcast or through an external input, you can display copy control information on the screen.
What is “CPRM”?
CPRM is a copy protection system with scramble system regarding the recording of “copy-once” broadcast programs.
CPRM stands for Content Protection for Recordable Media.
This unit is CPRM compatible, which means that you can record copy-once broadcast programs, but you cannot make
another copy of those recordings. CPRM recordings can only be made on DVD-RW discs formatted in VR mode, and
CPRM recordings can only be played on DVD players that are specifically compatible with CPRM.
Restrictions on recording
Information on DVD recording
This unit can record to DVD-R and DVD-RW discs.
DVD-R discs can only be recorded once, and cannot be erased. DVD-RW discs can be recorded and erased many

Notes
• This recorder cannot record CD-RW or CD-R discs.
• DVD-RW/R and CD-RW/R discs recorded on a personal computer or a DVD or CD recorder may not play if the disc is
damaged or dirty or if there is dirt or condensation on the player’s lens.
• If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it is recorded in a compatible format, there are cases in which it may
not play because of the settings of the application software used to create the disc. (Check with the software publisher for
more detailed information.)
• Discs recorded in Video mode on this unit cannot record additionally using other DVD recorders.
• A DVD-RW disc formatted with this unit cannot be used in other DVD recorders without any recording using this unit.
• Since the recording is made by the variable bit rate (VBR) method, depending on the picture you are recording, the actual
remaining time for recording may be a little shorter than the remaining time displayed on the OSD.

This product requires discs/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/WMA files). 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.

Glossary
■ Analog audio
An electrical signal that directly represents sound.
Compare this to digital audio which can be an
electrical signal, but is an indirect representation of
sound. See Digital audio.
■ Aspect ratio
The width of a TV screen relative to its height.
Conventional TVs are 4:3 (in other words, the
screen is almost square); widescreen models are
16:9 (the screen is almost twice as wide as it is
high).
■ Chapter
Just as a book is split up into several chapters, a
title on a DVD disc is usually divided into chapters.
See Title.
■ Component video output
Each signal of luminance(Y) and component(Pb/
Cb, Pr/Cr) is independent to output so that you can
experience picture color as it is.
Also, due to compatibility with progressive video
(525p/480p), you can experience higher-density
picture than that in interlace (525i/480i).
■ CPRM
(Content Protection for Recordable Media)
CPRM is a copy protection system with scramble
system regarding the recording of “copy-once”
broadcast programs (e.g. some satellite
broadcasts).
■ Digital audio
An indirect representation of sound by numbers.
During recording, the sound is measured at
discrete intervals (44,100 times a second for CD
audio) by an analog-to-digital converter, generating
a stream of numbers. On playback, a digital-to-
analog converter generates an analog signal
based on these numbers. See Sampling frequency
and Analog audio.
■ Dolby Digital
The system to compress digital sound developed
by Dolby Laboratories. It offers you sound of
stereo (2ch) or Multi-channel audio.
■ DTS (Digital Theater System)
DTS is a 5.1 channel surround sound system, but
it is different from Dolby Digital. The formats were
developed by Digital Theater System, Inc.
■ Finalize
To make DVD discs, which have been recorded
on, possible to play in DVD players. With this unit,
it is possible to finalize DVD-R/DVD-RW discs.
■ MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)

■ PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)
The most common system of encoding digital
audio, found on CDs and DAT. Excellent quality,

your desired order or in sequence. Also it is
allowed to search a specific scene directly.

A type of display that does not split each frame
into fields, and instead scans directly through all

resolution than traditional (525i/480i) TV signals.

selective Progressive Scan mode.

Regions associate discs and players with particular
areas of the world. This unit will only play discs

panel. Some discs are compatible with more than
one region (or all regions).
■ Sampling frequency
The rate which sound is measured by a specified
interval to turn into digital audio data. The numbers
of sampling in one second defines as sampling
frequency. The higher the rate, the better the
sound quality.

Sub audio channel which is delivered separately
from main-audio channel. This audio channel is
used as an alternative in bilingual broadcasting.
■ S-Video output
It delivers independently each signal of color(C)
and luminance(Y) to TV as video signals, so that
higher-quality picture will be gained.
■ Title
(DVD)
A collection of chapters on DVD disc. See chapter.
(Video CD)
The contents of a Video CD. When playing back a
Video CD with the PBC function, the title menu will
appear automatically.
