About this owner’s manual
This owner’s manual explains the basic instructions of
this DVD/VCR. Some DVD video discs are produced in
a manner that allows specific or limited operation during
playback. As such, the DVD/VCR may not respond to all
operating commands. This is not a defect in the DVD/
VCR. Refer to instruction notes of discs.
“
” may appear on the TV screen during operation.
A “
” means that the operation is not permitted by the
DVD/VCR or the disc.
For example, sometimes it is unable to stop the
playback of copyright message of the disc when the
STOP ( ) button is pressed. Alternatively, the “ ” may
also indicate that the feature is not available for the disc.
Notes on region numbers
The region number of this DVD/VCR is 1. If region
numbers, which stand for their playable area, are printed
on your DVD video disc and you do not find
1
or
ALL
,
disc playback will not be allowed by the player. (In this
case, the DVD/VCR will display a message on-screen.)
On Video CDs
This DVD/VCR 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/VCR 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.
Playable discs
This DVD/VCR can play the following discs.
• You cannot play discs other than those listed above.
• You cannot play discs of DVD-RAM, DVD-ROM,
Photo CD, etc., or non standardized discs even if they
may be labeled as above.
• Some CD-R/RWs cannot be played back depending
on the recording conditions.
• This DVD/VCR uses the NTSC color system, and
cannot play DVD video discs recorded in any other
color system (PAL, SECAM, etc.).
Because of problems and errors that can occur during the
creation of DVD software and/or the manufacture of DVD
discs, Toshiba America Consumer Products, L.L.C. and
Toshiba of Canada, Ltd. cannot guarantee that this player
will play every feature of every DVD bearing the DVD logo.
As one of the creators of DVD technology, Toshiba DVD
players are manufactured to the highest standards of
quality and, as a result, such incompatibilities are very rare.
If you happen to experience and difficulty playing a DVD on
a Toshiba DVD player, please feel free to call our Contact
listed in “How to Obtain Warranty Services” (page 71).
