Introduction

About this product

Introduction

Some differences

This DVD recorder is more similar to a computer than it is

to a standard DVD player. In addition to 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. Thus, when you turn on the DVD recorder, it

may be a minute or so before it is ready to use. Likewise,

other functions may not be performed as quickly as they

would on other AV equipment. In addition, accessing

programs stored on the DVD-RAM/R/RW drive (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.

Playback Restrictions

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.

Recording Restrictions

Copy-protected contents of DVD-Video disc, 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 copyright laws,

which may restrict copying or editing. 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.

Compatiblity

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

may not fully and properly play back all features. 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. 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.

may not be possible on this recorder.

Read carefully the section “On DVD-RW

Notes

•Handle the disc according to the disc instruction manual.

•Depending on the data recording method or the disc status, playback or recording on this recorder may not be possible, even

if the disc is labeled as below. Toshiba cannot assure that all discs bearing the DVD or CD logos will operate as expected.

Please see the discussion of compatibility on page 5.

For recording / playback

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 your 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 player.

Introduction

On DVD-RAM discs

Use only DVD-RAM discs that comply with

DVD-RAM standard Version 2.0 or 2.1.

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 manufacture’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.

Such an indication on a disc is required also for the

Library Management database.

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.

Recommended discs

The following discs have been tested with this recorder:

9.4 GB double-sided cartridge: Panasonic LM-AD240U

4.7 GB single-sided cartridge: Panasonic LM-AB120U

The company does not hold any responsibility to compensate the contents which should have been recorded,

and any losses or damages (e.g. losses of business profit, or business intermission) that may arise from

malfunction of this recorder (not recording/editing as intended).

Problems arising in the following situations are included.

•When a DVD disc recorded on this recorder is used in a DVD recorder of another manufacturer, or used

(insertion, playback, recording or editing) in a personal computer DVD drive.

•When a DVD that has been used as above is used again in this recorder.

•When a DVD disc recorded in a DVD recorder of another manufacturer, or in a personal computer DVD drive

is used.

Some functions such as Library may not work with PC discs.

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 108)

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

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

108) operations may have priority over programmed

recordings.

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.

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

starts.

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.

How to initialize a disc

DVD-RAM physical format

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.

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

the DISPLAY button.

4) Press / to select “Start,” then press ENTER.

5) Press / to select “Start,” then press ENTER.

Initialization starts.

When initialization is completed, the setup window

disappears.

Preparation

•Load a DVD-RAM/R/RW into the recorder.

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

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

Notes

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

regular audio CD’s one.

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 134).

• 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 DVD-Video standard. To record them, use DVD-RAM discs.

•When both the VIDEO (yellow) jack and the S-VIDEO jack are connected, the S-VIDEO jack has priority.

Connect according to A or B.

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 104). 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 used, the

recording may be finished on the way.

Reservation Disc (“Lock program record”)

This function is convenient when you wish to record

multiple serial related programs on the same disc.

The disc on which you write the reservation data is

called “Reservation Disc.” A Reservation Disc may

contain only one reservation.

Once a Reservation Disc is created, you cannot use

other discs to record the same serial program. The

Reservation Disc can be used only for recording a

program reserved for the Reservation Disc.

As an example, if you create a Reservation Disc for a

serial broadcast from 9 pm to 10 pm on Monday, then

you can use that disc only for that program. When you

attempt to make a reservation or record that serial, the

recorder will ask you to insert that Reservation Disc.

then “Yes” and press ENTER.

After the recording data is entered, a Reservation

disc icon appears on the REC MENU.

If the Reservation Disc is not loaded, the entry data

and icon are displayed in gray.

To cancel the Reservation Disc setting

Load the disc you want to cancel and select the

recording option on the REC MENU. Press the QUICK

MENU button to select “Unlock program record” then

“Ye s ”, and press the ENTER button.

To delete the information of a Reservation Disc

If you lose a Reservation Disc, delete the information

of the Reservation Disc.

Technical information

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 (SP, LP, Auto, Manual mode)

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 a two settings, 2 hour recording at

“SP” mode or 4 hour recording at “LP” mode (both

assume a blank 4.7 GB DVD-RAM). It is

recommended to consider the “SP” mode as a

standard mode and use the “LP” mode when you want

to record for long time regardless of the picture quality.

If you want to record for about 2 hours or are uncertain

which one to select, 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 and a half 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 “Manual” 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.

D /M1, D /M2

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. The standard differenciates D /M1

and D /M2 in data volume to use. D /M1 and

D /M2 are applied the digital recording technology

for consumer products of Dolby Laboratories. Dolby

Digital 192 kbps is set for D /M1 and Dolby Digital

384 kbps for D /M2.

L-PCM (Linear PCM)

Sound recording format, like Dolby Digital. However,

sounds are converted into digital signals and recorded

as they are without compression. This process

requires more data than Dolby Digital.

Screen Protection

If you pause playback or display a menu and leave it still for about 15 minutes, the recorder switches the output

picture source to a TV broadcast or connected equipment.

seconds.

Notes

•Do not move the recorder during playback. It may damage the disc.

•Occasionally the picture may stop at the last scene, or the main menu may appear after playing.

If you display a still picture such as the main menu on the TV screen for a prolonged period, the TV may be damaged (image

burn). To prevent this, press the STOP button to stop playback.

•A still picture for about 15 minutes while the TIMESLIP indicator illuminates, will return to normal playback. If the playback is

completed, a still picture of the title end will continue unless you press the TIMESLIP button.

•Some discs allow you to change audio selections only via the disc menu. If this is the case, press the MENU button and

choose the appropriate language from the selections on the disc menu.

•When you turn on the recorder or replace a disc, the recorder returns to the initial default setting. ( page 126)

Depending on the disc, the sound that is specified the disc is played back.

•Immediately after you have switched sounds, there may be a temporary discrepancy between the display and actual

sound.

•The BITSTREAM/PCM jack may not output SAP sound you select. In this instance, set “Audio out select” to “PCM”.

( page 130)

•You cannot change SAP sound if recorded with “DVD compatible mode” ( page 134) set to “Main”. Even when “DVD

compatible mode” ( page 134) is set to “Off,” the recorder regards it as “Main” when recording to a DVD-R/RW disc.

Before editing

This section describes information for editing of contents recorded on a DVD-RAM disc. Be sure to read

before performing any editing.

Basic steps of editing

Creating chapters ➔Programming a Playlist ➔Dub (Copy) the Playlist (this will create an Original

title of the desired scenes)

Editing is executed by a title and a chapter. Titles and chapters are classified into “Original” and “Playlist.” First, specify

a desired scene by dividing a title (Original) into chapters. Then compile the necessary chapters (Original) in desired

order by programming a Playlist. Then dub (copy) the Playlist on the same disc. This creates a title (Original).

Refer to the following examples about “Playlist” and “Original.”

Example: Creating your own music compilation by collecting songs from music programs you record from Monday

to Friday.

Editing

You can create one title for one recording.

In the example above, five titles are created, as you recorded programs five times from Monday to Friday. The

content you recorded is called “Title (Original)”

All chapters in a title (Original) are chapters (Original).

Specify the range (a favorite song) you need in

each title (Original).

To specify the range, create a chapter. A segment of

a song becomes one chapter by creating divisions in

a chapter at the beginning and end of a song. In the

example to the right, three chapters (Original) are

created in one title (Original).

Monday

Favorite songs

Title (Original) 1

(including one chapter (Original))

Editing Function setup Others

Introduction Library

Recording Playback

These virtual titles or chapters are called “Title (Playlist)” or “Chapter (Playlist)” respectively.

In order to differentiate titles (Playlist) from titles (Original), an Original is displayed on screen as “ORG” and a Playlist

is displayed as “PL”.

Compile chapters in a desired order.

You can select any chapter or order of chapters, as

you want. Also you can assign a title to multiple

chapters.

Each element to be compiled is called a part. In the

example to the right, the three chapters in

Wednesday, Friday, and Monday are the parts.

When compiled, the source chapter (Original)

remains as it is in the title (Original).

A new part is not created by copying the source

chapter (Original). It does not contain actual recorded

content but only exists as an informational sub-set of

the chapter name and the playback order (in the right

example, the chapter names are “Monday,

Wednesday, and Friday” and the playback order is

“Wednesday→Friday→Monday”).

For actual playback, the contents of the source

chapter (Original) are played. Basically, it is a list for

the recorder to go and find the content.

You can create a part from the Original as many

times as you want and you can make different titles

with the same parts by changing the combination or

order.

For parts, you can use not only chapters like in the

example, but also titles (Original) and other Playlist.

You can play the actual recorded content, such as titles (Original) and chapters (Original), or by managing the

Originals and parts, you can virtually create a variety of titles without increasing the use of disc space.

chapters, be sure to dub (copy) the Playlist and make

it into a title (Original).

You are now converting the virtual file (playlist) into an

actual file that will become a new original file.

Notes

•A title (Playlist) or a chapter (Playlist) is based on a title (Original) or a chapter (Original). Therefore changing or deleting a

title (Original) or a chapter (Original) will affect the related title (Playlist) or chapter (Playlist).

•Some recorded content cannot be edited (for example, a title including still images).

•The boundary of the title with unnecessary part deleted and titles (Playlist) having different parts cannot be played back

seamlessly (without break).

Proceed to the practical operations.

See “Creating chapters” ( page 89) and “Playlist editing (Collecting desired scenes)” ( page 94).

For the dubbing procedure, see “High speed Library dubbing” ( page 102).

press the CHP DIVIDE button. You can insert a chapter mark also while recording, by pressing the CHP DIVIDE

button. (A chapter will also be placed in the recording when you pause.)

The point divides the chapter (into two). You can create multiple chapters by repeating the above operation.

Notes

•Chapters cannot be created in the following modes:

Dubbing / Fast-reverse, Fast-forward / Slow-motion

•You cannot divide a title of a DVD-R/RW disc into chapters. It is possible to create chapters in a DVD-R/RW disc by pressing

the CHP DIVIDE button during recording at the desired points, or by selecting an option that inserts chapter marks

automatically during recording at regular intervals. ( page 134)

If you want to modify the chapter division, or want to place a chapter mark more precisely monitoring the

cameras may be not compatible.

•At step 5, you can enlarge the video image by selecting

“Full Display”, then pressing the ENTER button.

•If “DV Chapter Create” is set to “Off” and you record onto a

DVD-R/RW disc, chapters are automatically made

according to the “DVD-Video:CHP create” setting

( page 134). The number of chapters has the limit.

Chapters are divided with a margin of about 0.5 second or

less according to the DVD-Video standard.

•DV recording does not start in the following cases:

- While recording or in the time slip mode.

- While operating a REC MENU, CONTENT MENU or

LIBRARY MENU.

- If the recorder’s clock is not set yet.

- Within 5 minutes before a programmed recording starts, or

during a programmed recording.

•If a DV recording overlaps with a programmed recording,

the DV recording will stop 5 minutes before the

programmed recording starts, and the programmed

recording will be executed.

•DV recording does not work if the DV terminal is connected

equipment other than DV format digital video camera, such

as a PC.

•Depending on the connected DV format digital video

camera, the display at step 5 may not show “Manufacturer”

or “Equipment”.

•If the DV terminal is connected to more than one DV format

digital video camera, DV recording may not work properly.

For proper functioning of DV recording, connect only one

device to the DV terminal.

•Do not keep the DV terminal connected unless you record

from a DV format digital video camera, as it may give

influence on the recorder if operated.

•If you start a recording and do not operate for about 15

minutes, the display switches to the full mode, when

“Screen protector” ( page 131) is set to “On.” Pressing

the ENTER button while “Detail Display” is selected can

restore the previous display.

•When you want to record both stereo 1 and stereo 2

sounds from a DV format digital video camera, additionally

make a connection to the audio input jacks on this recorder

using cables such as audio/video cables supplied with the

DV format digital video camera. ( page 36)

•If a DV format digital video camera is not recognized, pull

out the plug and connect it again.

•Some models of DV format digital video cameras may

support a different compression format. From such

equipment, recording is not possible.

•Depending on the models of DV format digital video

cameras, recording may not work properly or some

functions may be disabled.

•On an input source from a DV tape which is partly recorded
