Using the TV remote control to
operate the Symbio AVHD recorder

The Symbio AVHD recorder uses commands similar to those
on a standard VCR, including RECORD, PLAY, FORWARD,
REVERSE (REWIND), and PAUSE. When the Symbio AVHD
recorder is connected to your Toshiba integrated HD television

and the remote control is in “TV” mode

, the applicable

remote control buttons will operate the Symbio (see illustration
below).
Use remote control model CT-90216 (provided with your
Toshiba integrated HD televsion) to operate your Symbio
AVHD recorder. The buttons related to the Symbio AVHD
recorder are described below. For a complete list of the remote
control’s functions, refer to the owner’s manual for your
Toshiba integrated-HD television.

To use the remote control to operate the Symbio:

Press MODE to select “TV” mode. (See your TV owner’s
manual for additional details about the remote control.)

Important information about AVHD
recording and playback

•

Never disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet or
break the power supply to the Symbio AVHD recorder during
recording or playback. When the power cord is disconnected
or a power failure occurs during any operation of the
recorder, some recorded content (typically content in the
recording buffer) may be lost or become irretrievable or
inaccessible.

• Recorded image and sound quality depend very much on

signal reception. Reception may be poor in weak signal areas.
In this event, either consult your dealer or purchase a
commercially available antenna booster. Refer to the antenna
booster owner’s manual for installation details.

•

Before recording important content, make a trial recording
to confirm proper connection and function of your Symbio
AVHD recorder. Toshiba is not liable for any damage or loss
caused directly or indirectly by the malfunction of the
Symbio AVHD recorder, including, without limitation, failure
to record content intended to be recorded by the consumer.

• If you attempt to change channels or inputs while a recording

is in progress, the message “NOT AVAILABLE WHILE
RECORDING” will appear on-screen.

• Standard Definition (SD) programming is typically

transmitted at 4 to 8 megabits per second, depending on the
content and content provider. High Definition (HD)
programming is typically transmitted at 19 megabits per
second. Although HD programming is higher quality, it may
take up more than 3 times as much space on your Symbio’s
hard drive as SD programming of the same length.

• The Symbio AVHD recorder uses special hardware and

advanced content protection schemes* to securely record and
play back, over the IEEE-1394 interface, content that is not
subject to copyright protection as well as allowable copy-
protected material (such as “copy once” content or content
that is viewable for a limited amount of time). Also, some
content providers do not allow their content to be recorded
at all. If you attempt to record unauthorized material, the
Symbio’s recording functions (including scheduled recordings)
may be prevented or stopped.

*This device incorporates DTCP (digital transmission content
protection) technology licensed by the DTLA (digital transmission
licensing administrator).
