Important notes about HD DVD

HD DVD with high-defi nition content required for HD 
viewing. Viewing high-defi nition content and up-converting 
DVD content may require an HDCP capable DVI or HDMI 
input on your display device. Up-conversion of DVD content 
will result in near HD picture quality. Firmware update may 
be required for some interactive features depending on 
content, which may also require an always-on broadband 
internet connection. Some features may require additional 
bandwidth. Some recordable media may not be supported. 
Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD and DTS support for up to 
5.1 channels (DTS HD support for DTS core only). MP3/
WMA audio fi les not supported. HDMI audio support for 
PCM only. Because HD DVD is a new format that makes 
use of new technologies, certain disc, digital connection and 
other compatibility and/or performance issues are possible. 
This may, in rare cases, include disc freezing while 
accessing certain disc features or functions, or certain parts 
of the disc not playing back or operating as fully intended. If 
you experience such issues, please refer to the FAQ 
sections of www.toshibahddvd.com or www.tacp.toshiba.
com for information on possible work-around solutions or the 
availability of fi rmware updates that may resolve your 
problem, or contact Toshiba Customer Solutions. Some 
features subject to delayed availability. 1080p capable 
display required for 1080p output resolution. In some cases, 
the included remote control may not operate additional 
devices or certain features of such devices, in which case, it 
is suggested that you use the original remote control for the 
applicable device. Use of CE-Link which is a feature based 
on HDMI-CEC requires an HDMI-CEC compatible display 
device. For 24p output, content that was created in 1080p / 
24 frames/sec is required. Viewing 24p output requires an 
HD display capable of accepting a 1080p/24Hz signal. While 
every effort has been made at the time of publication to 
ensure the accuracy of the information provided herein, 
product specifi cations, confi gurations, system/component/
options availability are all subject to change without notice.
