Notes
• Use the button on the front panel or the remote control to
open and close the disc tray. Do not push or hold the disc
tray while it is moving. Doing so may cause the recorder to
malfunction.
• Do not insert a disc which is unplayable, or any object
other than a playable disc.
• Do not apply downforce to the disc tray. Doing so may
cause the recorder to malfunction.
• If the disc tray stops while closing, the mechanical
protection system of this recorder will open it. Do not force
it to close. Doing so may cause malfunction.
• If the disc tray will not open, turn the recorder off, and
press the button on the front panel or the OPEN/
CLOSE button on the remote control. This may turn the
recorder on and open the disc tray. If it still won’t open,
contact your nearest TOSHIBA dealer.
Turning the power off
Press ON/STANDBY on the front panel of the
recorder or on the remote control.
The “Unloading” icon appears at the top right corner of
the screen, and the display of the front panel shows
“OFF”, then the power turns off (Standby mode.)
Caution
• If the power fails or the power cord is disconnected from a
wall outlet while the recorder is in operation, the HDD or a
loaded disc may become recording disabled. In such a
case, executing an initialization of the disc using the
formatting function of the recorder may refresh it. However,
all contents stored on the disc will be completely erased by
this initialization process.
• This recorder may indicate alert messages with some
DVD-RAM discs right after insertion. If such a disc is used
for playback or recording on other equipment, all data in
the disc may be damaged and the disc will not be played.
By executing an initialization of the disc using the
formatting function of the recorder, the disc will become
operational.
• If the recorder freezes and does not respond at all, leave it
alone for about 15 minutes or longer. This may restore the
recorder. After the recorder has recovered, turn it off once
and turn it on again to use as usual. If the recorder is still
inoperable after more than 15 minutes have passed, press
and hold the ON/STANDBY button on the front panel for
about 10 seconds or longer. The recorder is forced to quit
and the power turns off. Turn the recorder on again and
use it as usual. (This is an emergency measure, which may
cause losses and/or damages of data. Avoid casual use of
this measure. If you try this while the recorder is working
properly, especially while the “Loading” or “Unloading” icon
is flashing, it may result in initializing of the HDD.) (This 15-
minute measure is available only when “Screen protector”
is set to “On.” (

Note
• If there are any performance malfunctions of the HDD or
the DVD-RAM drive, immediately discontinue use of this
recorder, and disconnect the power cord from a wall outlet,
then contact your dealer. Continuous use of the recorder in
such a condition will aggravate the condition and result in
increased cost and repair time.
