Read "SAFETY PRECAUTIONS", "IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS",

and all other sections of the "INSTALLATION GUIDE" that came with this

product prior to reading this "OPERATIONS GUIDE".

Because of its recording capacity, this DVD recorder

operates more like a computer and differently than a

standard DVD player. In addition to containing a

microprocessor, it contains an operating system,

random access memory (RAM), and a DVD-RAM/R/RW

drive. The operating system includes software that is

transferred to the RAM when the machine is turned on

and at other times during operation. This transfer can

take time. Therefore, when you turn the DVD recorder

on, it may take a little while before it is ready to use.

Likewise, other functions may not be performed as

quickly as they would on other AV equipment.

Additionally, accessing those programs (or deleting a

program from a DVD-RAM or DVD-RW disc) may take

more time. Please take these factors into consideration

as you use the DVD recorder.

In isolated cases, a disc bearing the DVD or CD logo

may not fully and properly play back all features or as

intended by the creator of the disc. This can be due,

among other reasons, to problems and errors that can

occur during the creation or recording of DVD and other

software and the manufacture of software discs

(including blank discs). Moreover, because of

variations in the quality of discs, this recorder may not

be able to record on all discs that bear a DVD-RAM,

DVD-R or DVD-RW logo, but you should not encounter

difficulty if you use only high quality recordable DVD

discs. Additionally, discs recorded in this device may not

operate properly in other DVD players, recorders and/or

personal computer drives. If you happen to encounter

difficulties playing or recording a DVD disc or playing a

CD disc, please feel free to call our Customer Service

Hotline at 1-800-319-6684.

This owner's manual explains the basic instructions for

this recorder. Some DVD video discs are produced in a

manner that allows specific or limited operation during

playback. As such, the recorder may not respond to all

operating commands. This is not a defect in the

recorder. Please refer to the notes on compatible discs

later in this Introduction and to the discussion of DVD

playback and features later in this manual.

"_" may appear on the TV screen during operation.

"_" means that the operation is not permitted by the

recorder or the disc.

Copy-protected contents of DVD-Video discs, VIDEO

CDs or audio CDs on the market cannot be copied on

this recorder. Contents without copy protection should

be copied or edited only in accordance with applicable

Contents that permit single copying (copy once

contents) can be recorded onto DVD-RAM discs, with

some dubbing and editing restrictions. DVD-R/RW discs

cannot record these contents.

The unauthorized recording, use, distribution, or

revision of copyrighted materials including, without

limitation, television programs, videotapes, and DVDs, is

prohibited under the Copyright Laws of the United

States and other countries, and may subject you to civil

and criminal liability.

There are many types and formats of discs. Please use the following information to select an

appropriate disc.

Notes

• Handle the disc according to the disc instruction manual.

• Toshiba cannot guarantee that all discs bearing the DVD or CD Iogos will operate as expected. Additionally, Toshiba cannot

guarantee that discs recorded in this device will operate properly in other DVD players, recorders and/or personal computer

drives.

Using different disc types for different purposes

DVD-RAM discs for your personal library

DVD-RAM discs comply with the global standard DVD-VR (Video Recording) format, and are optimized for recording of

TV programs.You can rewrite repeatedly without deterioration of an image quality, erase unnecessary parts, divide a

chapter, or specify playback area by frame. Its cartridge is suitable for a longer-term storage and family use, and its

large capacity of 9.4 GB allows more recording space.

DVD-R discs when creating your own original discs for distribution

DVD-R discs are designed to comply with the global standard DVD-Video format, and can be recorded only once.

DVD-R discs are convenient when you edit your original content (recorded personal events such as a wedding party)

with this recorder, transfer them to the recorder and make copies to send to your friends or relatives. The discs can be

played on other compatible DVD players. DVD-RW discs, which are rewriteable, can be used as well.

'_ DVD-R and DVD-RW may not be the best suited format for recording TV programs. Because of the way the discs are

formatted, it may not be possible to edit or divide the program as you may prefer, to record secondary languages, or

programs that are copy protected in a way that allows only one copy. (NOTE: "Copy once" protected programs

generally can be recorded to DVD-RAM discs.)

'_ This recorder records on a DVD-R/RW disc in DVD-Video format only. In DVD-VR format, recording is not possible.

We cannot guarantee that DVD-RAM/R/RW discs recorded on this recorder will be playable on all DVD recorders/

players. Similarly, there is no guarantee that all DVD-RAM/R/RW discs recorded on other recorders will be playable on

this recorder.

Introduction

Choosinga disc(Continued)

•Use only DVD-RAM discs that comply with DVD- •

RAM standard Version 2.0, 2.1 or 2.2.

The recorder cannot record on a disc formatted in any

other standard. When using such a disc, initialize it by

using the disc-format function of this recorder.

• The recorder may not record, dub, or edit some DVD-

RAM discs, because they are edited/recorded with

another manufacturer's equipment or PC, contain a

large number of titles, or have little remaining capacity.

Also, a DVD-RAM disc may not be edited or recorded •

if its title contains still pictures.

• DVD-RAM discs formatted in UDF2.0 on a PC are not

compatible with this recorder. Before using these •

discs, initialize them on this recorder.

• This recorder complies with current copyright

protection technology and can copy a disc only when

the disc permits copying once. When there is no •

indication on the disc, copying will not be allowed.

•DVD-RAM discs with cartridges are

recommended for recording.

• Two types of DVD-RAM discs are

available: ones with cartridges and ones

without cartridges.You can use either of

them with this recorder, but the former

ones are recommended.

• In order to record highly detailed data, make sure the

disc is clean. DVD-RAM discs with cartridges are

easier to handle in this regard.

• Do not open the cartridge shutter. The disc may not

play, or may not be recorded or edited once it

becomes dirty.

• There are two types of DVD-RAM cartridges;

removable (TYPE 2/4) and not removable (TYPE 1). It

is recommended you do not remove the disc even

when you can.

Refer to the instruction manual that comes with the

disc if it is absolutely necessary to remove the disc.

• Some commercially available cartridge discs cannot

be recorded or edited once the inside discs are

removed.

To protect recorded contents

Slide the write-protect tab to

"PROTECT" with something small

enough. The disc can play, but

cannot be edited or erased. Refer to

the instructions that come with the

disc.

When using a disc without a

cartridge (commercially

available discs)

Discs without cartridges can easily

attract fingerprints and dust, which

is the reason they are not recommended. If you cannot

avoid using them, handle with proper care.

When you write in a title column on a disc, use a pen

with a soft tip. Do not use a pen with a hard tip, such

as a ballpoint pen.

recorder. (_ page 100)

The finalization disables the disc's rewfitability. To

rewrite a finalized DVD-RW disc, cancel the

finalization (_ page 103).

• On DVD-RW discs recorded on other devices, you

cannot execute DVD-Video finalize process or

cancel the finalize process, or add recordings on

this recorder.

• You cannot rewrite or edit a DVD-RW disc if

recorded in DVD-VR mode.

• DVD-RW discs which are recorded on other devices

and not finalized yet, cannot be read on this

recorder. Do not rush to initialization. Check that the

contents can be erased or not.

• Note on recording on a DVD-R disc

Confirm disc compatibility and prepare an available

DVD-R disc to record on (@ page 6, 9).

To play a DVD-R disc recorded on this recorder on

other devices, finalize the DVD-R disc on this recorder.

(_ page 100)

The finalization permanently disables the disc's

rewritability. (Canceling the finalization is not possible.)

• DVD-Video finalize process cannot be canceled if

once executed on a DVD-R disc.

• On DVD-R discs recorded on other devices, you

cannot execute DVD-Video finalize process or add

recordings on this recorder.

•To check space remaining on a disc

1) Press REMAIN.

The current capacity is displayed at the bottom of

the screen and on the front panel display.

2) After checking the capacity, press REMAIN again

to turn off the display.

Note

• You can also check the capacity of the disc by selecting

"Disc budget calculation" from Quick Menu within the REC

MENU (_ page 45).

•Programmed recording and operational status

The recorder gives priority to programmed recordings

in every operating mode. Even if the recorder is

playing, recording or editing, or even in standby mode,

at a starting time of a programmed recording the

recorder will make itself ready or stop those

operations and start the recording.

However, "DVD-Video finalizing process" (_ page

100) operations may have priority over programmed

recordings.

When the programmed settings overlap

Before the first recording is completed, the second

program is scheduled to begin recording. When using

a DVD-RAM disc, the recording of the previous

program stops 15 seconds before the next program m

starts. H

When using a DVD-R or DVD-RW disc, the recording

of the previous program stops about 2 minutes before

the next program starts, to complete data process. In

this 2 minutes, you cannot operate the loaded DVD-R

or DVD-RW disc.

On a programmed recording across the change-

over of Daylight-saving time

• When the clock gains across Daylight-saving time

during a programmed recording, it means that the

recording completion time is consequently set one-

hour earlier. In this case, set the programmed

recording one-hour longer in advance. If not set

accordingly, the programmed recording stops one-

hour shorter.

• When the clock loses across Daylight-saving time

during a programmed recording, it means that the

recording completion time is consequently set one-

hour later. In this case, as the programmed

recording continues one-hour longer, delete

unnecessary chapters by chapter dividing after the

completion of recording.

Notes

• The "Loading" icon appears in the top right of the screen after recording. This indicates that the unit is executing

the final recording process (writing managing information). Operations other than changing channels cannot be

done until this icon disappears.The time for executing this process differs depending on the recording time or

capacity of the disc.

• Note that all recording content may be deleted if the unit is disconnected from a wall outlet, or a power failure

occurs, during recording.

• If a power failure occurs within five minutes prior to the programed recording start time, the programmed recording

may not be executed.

• A programmed recording may not be executed correctly if scheduled when Daylight-Saving time starts or ends.

Initializinga DVD-RAM/RWdisc(Logicalformat)

J e sure to read this section prior to using a DVD-RAM/RW disc on this recorder for the first time. I

For DVD-R, initializing is not necessary. I

A disc should be initialized in the following cases: (The

recorder may display a message to request you to do

SO.)

e,g,

•When you use a DVD-RAM/RW disc on this recorder

for the first time.

• If data fragments produced by repeated recording or

erasing have accumulated.

• If a disc error has occurred.

• When you want to record on a DVD-RAM disc for PC.

(_ page 8)

Initializing formats a disc logically and insures that it will

perform to its full capability. However, this erases all data

on the disc, so make sure that it does not matter if data

on the disc is erased whenever you initialize a disc.

•How to initialize a disc

To initialize a DVD-RAM disc, load it in the recorder.

Formatting

When initialization is completed, the setup window

disappears.

DVD-RAMphysicalformat

Physical formatting is a simple execution for a disc which

cannot be used or read (or which is becoming hard to

read). It may refresh such a disc for recording and

playback. (There is no guarantee that all such discs will

be recovered.)

"DVD-RAM logical format" process only rewrites certain

data on file system and management information,

however, "DVD-RAM physical format" rewrites all data on

a disc, therefore it takes a much longer time to complete.

For a 4.7GB single sided DVD-RAM, about 70 minutes

will be necessary. While processing, all recorder

operations and functions including program recording will

not work until the process is finished. Also this process

erases all data stored on the DVD-RAM disc.

3) Press •/•to select "DVD-RAM physical

format," then press SELECT/ENTER.

4) Press < /I_ to select "Yes," then press SELECT/

ENTER to execute.

5) Read the message, and press </•to select

"Yes" or "No", then press SELECT/ENTER.

Notes

• The physical format process may fail if executed to a dirty

DVD-RAM disc. Also, the disc may be difficult to record,

even if it finished. Before executing DVD-RAM physical

format process, be sure to confirm the disc is not dirty.

Clean it if necessary. If the disc has scratches or dust

beyond cleaner's efficacy, do not execute DVD-RAM

physical format process on the disc.

• The following DVD-RAM discs require physical formatting:

-A disc which is not formatted correctly.

-The disc which has errors during writing because of dirt

on the disc, and cannot be further recorded, or cannot

initialize normally.

• You need to start physical formatting from the first step

again when you use a failed disc.

• Physical formatting does not work if the disc contains a lot

of voids beyond the limitation of this recorder.

• If an error occurs in physical formatting, "ERR-01" appears

in the front panel display.To turn off the message, press

- Load a disc which has sufficient remaining space to record the program.

- Make sure the loaded disc is not write-protected.

Notes

• If a source of high quality sound track such as DVD audio is recorded with this recorder, the sound quality becomes regular

audio CD quality. Refer to the instructions of the connected equipment.

• When you record an external source onto a DVD-R/RW disc, set the connected equipment to output sound you want to

record (if selectable such as multiplex broadcasting), as the recorder records sounds of external source in the stereo type

onto a DVD-R/RW disc, neglecting the setting of "DVD compatible mode" (_ page 33).

• DVD-R/RW discs cannot record contents with copy restriction signal embedded (copy-protected or copy once contents),

DVD-RAM discs can record copy once contents.

• Some satellite programs via a connected tuner may contain both 4:3 pictures and 16:9 pictures. DVD-R/RW discs cannot

record such contents, under restriction of the DVD-Video standard. To record these programs, use DVD-RAM discs.

•Notes on recording from a connected VCR or camcorder

•Check the condition of the source equipment before playing.

Set the equipment in good condition, e.g. clean the head or adjust the tracking, etc. to obtain optimum playback.

Bad condition may produce noises in playback. These noises may be detected as copy protection signals,

resulting in stop of recording on this recorder.

Play a source in an usual mode. Avoid using any correcting or enhancing features, as they may add signals which

can be detected as copy protection signals.

Source quality or tape condition beyond adjustments on the source equipment may stop a recording on this

recorder.

Do not operate the source equipment during recording on this recorder.

Operations such as pausing, resuming, fast-forwarding (CUE) and fast-reversing (REVIEW), etc. may produce

noises, which may be detected as copy protection signals. Therefore, first start playback on the source equipment

to confirm that the desired source can be played properly, and then start recording on this recorder.

Do not operate the source equipment during recording. After completing the desired scene, stop the recording on

the recorder, and then stop the playback on the source equipment. Delete unnecessary scenes using editing

functions (@ page 98). If you want to operate the source equipment during recording, pause or stop the

recording. After operating the source equipment, resume the recording as above.

•When recording from a camcorder

Follow the above notes. Be sure to power the camcorder by its AC adapter, not batteries. If batteries are run

down, the recording may not be finished completely.

Use REC MENU to program a recording. It will take less time to prepare, as it provides all necessary

information for recording, including estimated disc space remaining.

Others(Continued)

Technicalinformation

•About recording time

The recording time of a typical VCR (Video Cassette

Recorder) is determined by the length of a video tape

and recording speed (SP, LP, etc.). Video tapes with

various recording times are available in the market.

On the other hand, the recording time of a DVD-RAM/

R/RW depends on the bit rate (Mbps: amount of data

transmitted per second), which can be varied in

MPEG2 (Moving Picture Experts Group2)

compression technology.

As an example, when you pour water into a bucket

from a faucet, the faster the water flows, the sooner

the bucket is filled with water. On the other hand, the

slower the water flows, the more slowly the bucket is

filled. The DVD-RAM/R/RW is, so to speak, such a

bucket, and the degree you turn the faucet is bit rate,

the time required to fill the bucket with water is the

recording time available for a disc. The higher you set

the bit rate (making much more water flow), the sooner

a disc is filled. Consequently, the recording time

becomes shorter. The lower you set the bit rate, the

longer time it takes to fill a disc.

•About picture quality (XP, SP, MP, LP, EP)

The higher you set the bite rate, the more the volume

of information for the picture. The lower the bit rate, the

less the volume of picture information.

However a high bit rate does not always mean that the

picture quality is high. The difference between the 1.4

Mbps and 9.2 Mbps is obvious, but when comparing

similar bit rates, the difference may be insignificant.

Generally when you set the bit rate low for longer

recording time, the data volume shortage will result in

a lack of detail information. As a result, the picture

quality is decreased (more noticeable with dynamically

moving images). For example, square noises (block

noise) may occur in a scene with fast action or a

scene with light and shadows, such as a water

surface.

This recorder has 6 settings. (e.g. "SP" records about 2

hours and "LP" about 4 hours onto a blank 4.7 GB

DVD-RAM disc. _ page 125) It is recommended to

consider the "SP" mode as a standard mode and use

the lower mode when you want to record for long time

regardless of the picture quality.

If you want to record for within 2 hours select the "AT"

mode.

On a blank 4.7 GB DVD-RAM disc, the "AT" mode

automatically sets the appropriate bit rate

corresponded to the recording time from about 1 hour

to up to 2 hours so that you can achieve the best

picture quality. If a part of a DVD-RAM disc has

already been recorded, the "AT" mode sets the bit rate

suitable for the remaining space on the disc. (The

picture quality is determined referring the remaining

space just before recording. When the remaining

space is scarce in the disc, the picture quality may

decrease from what you set beforehand or the

recording may stop halfway.) "AT" mode is available

also on DVD-R/RW recordings.

When you want to record a music program or

animation with high picture quality, it is recommended

that you select the "XP" mode. If you select more than

6 Mbps, you can usually record with considerably

higher picture quality. However the higher you set the

bit rate, the shorter the recording time.

130 D/M1

Sound recording format onto DVD-RAM discs. When

recording, sounds are converted into digital signals

and compressed. In playback, they are extracted to the

original sound. 130 D/M1 is applied the digital

recording technology for consumer products of Dolby
