Introduction
About this product
Some differences
Playback Restrictions
Because of its recording capability and hard disc drive
(HDD), this DVD recorder operates more like a computer
and differently than a standard DVD player. In addition to
containing a microprocessor, it contains a HDD, an
operating system, random access memory (RAM), and a
DVD-RAM/RW/R drive. The operating system includes
software stored on the HDD 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, because programs stored on
the DVD-RAM/RW/R drive cannot be accessed as
quickly as those stored on the HDD, accessing those
programs (or deleting a program from a DVD-RAM disc)
may take more time. Please take these factors into
consideration as you use the DVD recorder.
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 and Copyright
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
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.
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.
About the hard disc drive (HDD)
Like any HDD, the HDD in the DVD recorder is a fragile
device that is susceptible to partial or complete failure if it
is jarred or as a result of use over time. It will not last
forever. Therefore, do not use the HDD for longer term
storage of programs you wish to retain. [If portions of the
HDD become damaged, programs recorded on those
portions may exhibit pixelization or block noise when
played back. Repeated playback of the program may
cause the problem to get worse and, eventually, the
program may become unplayable. Accordingly, if you
notice such noise in a program that you want to save,
you should transfer to a recordable DVD disc as soon as
possible.] Recordable DVD discs are also susceptible to
damage if not handled and stored carefully and some or
all of the programs on them may become unplayable.
You can reduce these risks by using high quality DVD
recordable discs and checking their playability from time
to time. If it becomes necessary to service your DVD
recorder, it may be necessary to delete some or all of the
programs on the HDD.
Compatibility
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-RW or DVD-R 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.

Introduction
Choosing a disc
When you want to play DVD or CD software or copy programs from the HDD to a recordable DVD, load an
appropriate disc into the recorder.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 logos 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/RW 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.
* On DVD-R/RW discs, direct recording, copying or the method “Creating a DVD-Video using DVD-R/RW” (
page
112) are available.
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
Choosing a disc (Continued)
On DVD-RAM discs
Use only DVD-RAM discs that comply with DVD-
RAM standard Version 2.0, 2.1 or 2.2.
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.
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.
PROTECT
When using a disc without a
cartridge (commercially
available discs)
Discs without cartridges can easily
attract fingerprints and dust, which
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.
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.
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.
Recommended discs
The following discs have been tested with this recorder:
9.4 GB double-sided cartridge: Panasonic 2X, 3X, 5X
4.7 GB single-sided cartridge: Panasonic 2X, 3X, 5X
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.

Recording
Before recording
Please be sure to read this critical background information prior to making a recording.
This recorder is equipped with a built-in HDD. Conventional video cassette recorders have required
tapes to record, while this recorder enables recording on the HDD whenever you want, without
selecting an available tape or confirming its recording time or tape remaining.
Further, the DVD-RAM drive on this recorder can record on a DVD-RAM/R/RW disc in the same way as
a tape. You can also copy contents recorded on the HDD to a DVD-RAM/R/RW disc to create your
own library.
Is your recorder ready?
Note
• This recorder records on a DVD-RAM disc if it complies
with DVD-RAM standard Version 2.0, 2.1 or 2.2. However,
you may not record on some DVD-RAM discs that have
complicated contents (often, to protect the recorded data).
When you select a DVD-RAM disc that has already been
recorded, check that the disc is suitable for recording or
the remaining time of the disc is displayed. It is
recommended to use a new DVD-RAM disc for an
important recording.
Before recording a TV program on this recorder,
insure that channels you want to record are correctly
tuned in on this recorder.
If not tuned in, read the separate “INSTALLATION
GUIDE” volume again, and confirm all the necessary
connections and settings have been done.
Also, insure the clock is set precisely for program
recording.
Disc initializing
Whenever you use a new DVD-RAM disc on this
recorder, be sure to initialize the disc. For DVD-RAM
discs, initialization is indispensable to the database
system of this recorder.
Normally, the HDD does not need to be formatted. If
the HDD does not work normally due to a problem,
format the HDD for possible recovery. Once you
format the HDD, all the recorded titles and Library
information are deleted. Before formatting, be sure to
write library information to a DVD-RAM disc and check
any titles to be deleted.
Note on recording on a DVD-RW disc
Confirm disc compatibility and prepare an available
DVD-RW disc to record on (
page 6, 9).
Some discs may need to be initialized for use on the
recorder. A message will appear asking you to execute
disc initializing. Follow the procedure displayed on-
screen for initializing the DVD-RW disc compatible

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 10 seconds before the next program
starts. (If you have been recording over 9 hours on the
same drive, the current recording stops approximately
2 minutes before the next programme starts.)
When using a DVD-R/RW disc, the recording of the
previous program stops about 2 minutes before the
next program starts, to complete data process. In this

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 5 minutes prior to the programed recording start time, the programmed recording
may not be executed.

Notes
DVD-RAM physical format
• 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 is 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.
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.
• 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
DISPLAY button on the remote control.

Notes on recording from a connected VCR or camcorder
Check the condition of the source equipment before playing.
Set the equipment in a good condition, e.g. clean the head or adjust the tracking, etc. to obtain optimum playback.
Bad conditions may produce noises in playback. These noises may be detected as copy protection signals,
resulting in a stoppage of the recording.
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 55). 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 with its AC adapter, not batteries. If batteries are run
down, the recording may not be finished completely.

To protect recorded content
Technical Information
About recording time
You can protect recorded contents of the HDD or a
DVD-RAM disc from unexpected deletion.
Protection is provided for each title (original).
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 on 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)
1) Perform steps 1 and 2 in “Playing recorded
contents (CONTENT MENU)” (
page 60) to
select a title.
2) Press QUICK MENU button, and press
/
buttons to select “Title information”.Then press
ENTER button.
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. A DVD-RAM/R/RW is, so to speak, like 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.
3) Press QUICK MENU button, and press
/
buttons to select “Lock” and then press ENTER
button.
The mark appears.
Notes
• To cancel protection, repeat this procedure.
• Disc initialization erases all titles on a disc even if they are
protected.
• Executing “All HDD titles delete”(
page 186) erases all
titles on the HDD even if they are protected.
About picture quality (SP, LP, MN (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.
HDD
DVD-RAM
Relay recording
This function automatically diverts a recording to the
HDD if a DVD-RAM disc is near capacity.
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 a longer
recording, 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.
When the remaining time of the DVD-RAM disc has
reached about 10 minutes, the recorder starts
recording the same content on the HDD as well as
DVD-RAM. The chapter marks are automatically made
at the start and end points of the overlapped recording
portion.You can delete the unnecessary overlapped
portion afterwards by referring to the chapter marks.
Recording end
DVD-RAM disc
This recorder has 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
10min.
HDD
Recording start
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.
When you want to record a music program or
animation with high picture quality, it is recommended
that you select the “MN” 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.
To engage the Relay Recording function, set “Relay
recording” to “On” (
page 185).
Notes
• When the capacity of the HDD is not sufficient, the
operation is canceled.
• While recording the overlapped portion, you cannot pause
the recording.
• While recording the overlapped portion, you cannot play a
recorded title on the same disc.
• When another programmed recording is set just after the
relay recording, the relay recording stops about 2 minutes
before the next programmed recording starts.

Creating your own title
You can edit recorded contents and create your own library.
Note on deleting unnecessary scenes
It is not recommended that you delete many chapters from titles recorded on the HDD to remove unnecessary
parts of the titles and copy those contents on a DVD-RAM disc. The reason is that discontinuous space inside the
HDD expands and recorded contents are stored in gaps between used locations. Operating this repeatedly makes
a recording area inside the HDD broken down into small and complicated spaces. (It is called fragmentation.) Even
normal operations may get slow. Moreover, available space may not be restored by deleting or the HDD may have
protection disabling playback or recording.
When you want to delete unnecessary parts from titles, collect necessary parts of chapters to make a playlist.
Then copy the playlist and delete the original title or the playlist. For example, make a playlist and copy it to a DVD-
RAM. Then delete original titles on the HDD. It can save time and effort and retain continuity in the HDD space.
However, when moving a copy once program from the HDD to a DVD-RAM disc, delete unnecessary chapters
from original titles. For details (
page 98).
Running “All HDD titles delete” regularly prevents fragmentation from occurring.
In addition, if you select and run “HDD format”, all data on the HDD will be erased. Copy TV programs you want to
save recorded on the HDD from the HDD to a DVD-RAM or DVD-R/RW disc.
When it comes to library data, back it up to a DVD-RAM disc before initializing the HDD. Then rewrite the data on
the HDD.

2: Dividing a recorded title into several chapters
1 title is created by recording at a time, which includes 1 chapter. By dividing it into several chapters, it
will be easier to access a desired scene, and your editing or playback will be much easier.
Simple method
To create chapters in a title, insert a chapter mark. Playback the contents, locate a point where you want to divide, then
press CHP DIVIDE button.You can insert a chapter mark also while recording, by pressing 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
CHP DIVIDE button while recording at the desired points, or by selecting an option that inserts chapter marks automatically
while recording at regular intervals. (
page 185)
Precise method
If you want to modify the chapter division, or want to place a chapter mark more precisely monitoring the
frame counter, follow the procedures below.

“Off”, and you cannot copy it to a DVD-R/RW in
the DVD-Video format; or when a DVD-RAM
disc was recorded with the other equipment
which is not compatible with this recorder’s
recording format, and you want to copy it to a
DVD-R/RW (→ Set “DVD compatible mode” to
“Main” or “SAP”.)
“High speed” means the dubbing time is shorter
than the actual time of the content.
Use this function on the purposes such as the
followings:
– when you copy a whole title to a DVD-RAM/R/
RW disc.
Rate conversion dubbing of several parts
You can select titles and chapters and change the
data size and copy them all at once.
– when you convert a Playlist into an Original title
(produce an Original title from a Playlist)
Use this function when you unify the compatibility
of several titles and contents all at once.
High speed dubbing of several contents - “Dub
selected items”
You can select titles and chapters and copy them
all at once.
C: Line-U dubbing
You can record pictures recorded which is being
played.
B: Rate conversion dubbing
You can copy content and change its data size from the
original recording.
Use this function when you want to copy contents
in DVD-R/RW recorded on other device, which
cannot show thumbnails in “CONTENT MENU
Title List”, to the HDD.
Use this function on the purposes such as the
followings:
– When you have recorded a content on the HDD
at a high rate, and you cannot copy it to a DVD-
RAM disc because the data size is too large. (→
Reduce the data size.)
All the above functions can copy data as original
digital signals. “Rate conversion dubbing” and “Line-
U dubbing”, however, needs data processing and
may deteriorate the original picture and sound
quality. Also, it is not possible to improve the picture
and sound quality by the Rate conversion dubbing at
increased bit rate.

message.
• Depending on the content, associated information such as
data management may not be copied/moved.
