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 and Video CD software and/or the
manufacture of DVD and Video CD discs, Toshiba cannot
guarantee that this DVD/VCR will play every feature of
every DVD bearing the DVD logo and/or every Video CD
bearing the CD logo.
As one of the creators of DVD technology, Toshiba DVD
players are manufactured using the highest standards
of quality, and as a result, such incompatibilities are rare.
If you happen to experience any difficulty playing a DVD
or a Video CD on a this DVD/VCR, please feel free to
call our Contact listed in “CANADIAN WARRANTY
INFORMATION” (back cover).
