combination to overturn.  
9. VENTILATION  
Slots and openings in the cabinet back or bottom are provided for ventilation,  
to ensure reliable operation of the unit, and to protect it from overheating.  
S3125A  
These openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the unit  
on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This unit should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat  
source. This unit should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper  
ventilation is provided and/or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.

This unit is equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the  
other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert  
the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to  
replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.  
12. POWER-CORD PROTECTION

Introduction  
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS  
13. LIGHTNING  
To protect your unit from a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time,  
unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the  
unit due to lightning and power line surges.  
14. POWER LINES  
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric  
light or power circuits, or where it can fall onto or against such power lines or circuits. When installing an  
outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits,  
as contact with them might be fatal.  
15. OVERLOADING  
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.  
16. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY  
Do not push objects through any openings in this unit, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short  
out parts that could result in fire or electric shock. Never spill or spray any type of liquid into the unit.  
17. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING  
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the unit, be sure the antenna or cable system is  
grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges, Section 810 of the  
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast  
and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding  
conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for  
the grounding electrode.

18. SERVICING  
Do not attempt to service this unit yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous  
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.  
For example:  
a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.  
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the unit.  
c. If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.  
d. If the unit does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that  
are covered by the operating instructions, as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage  
and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the unit to its normal operation.  
e. If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.  
f . When the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance, this indicates a need for service.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS  
19. REPLACEMENT PARTS  
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by  
the manufacturer or those that have the same characteristics as the original part.  
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.  
20. SAFETY CHECK  
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this unit, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to  
determine that the unit is in proper operating condition.  
21. HEAT  
The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other  
products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.  
22. DISC TRAY  
Keep your fingers well clear of the disc tray as it is closing. It may cause serious personal injury.  
23. CONNECTING  
When you connect the product to other equipment, turn off the power and unplug all of the equipment from  
the wall outlet. Failure to do so may cause a product damage. Read the owner's manual of the other equip-  
ment carefully and follow the instructions when making any connections.  
24. LASER BEAM  
Do not look into the opening of the disc tray or ventilation opening of the product to see the source of the  
laser beam. It may cause sight damage.  
25. DISC  
Do not use a cracked, deformed, or repaired disc. These discs are easily broken and may cause serious  
personal injury and product malfunction.  
26. NOTE TO CABLE TV SYSTEM INSTALLER  
This reminder is provided to call the Cable TV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that  
provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be con-  
nected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.  
CONDENSATION  
Moisture will form in the operating section of the DVD/VCR if the unit is brought from cool surroundings into a warm  
room or if the temperature of the room rises suddenly. When this happens, the DVD/VCR’s performance will be  
impaired.  
To prevent this, let the DVD/VCR stand in its new surroundings for about an hour before switching it on, or make  
sure that the room temperature rises gradually.  
Condensation may also form during the summer if the DVD/VCR is exposed to the breeze from an air conditioner.  
In such cases, change the location of the DVD/VCR.

Title/Chapter/Track  
When recording in the Video mode  
A DVD-Video has large partitions called “Titles”, and  
smaller partitions within them called “Chapters”.  
A music CD has other partitions called “Tracks”.A num-  
ber is allotted to each partition and these numbers are  
called “title numbers”, “chapter numbersor “track num-  
bers”.  
When a disc recorded in the Video mode is finalized, it  
cannot be recorded onto any more. Therefore, before  
finalization, be sure to perform all desired recording.  
After finalization, a title list that can be used by the DVD  
player is automatically created.  
NOTES:  
DVD DISC  
• The finalization process may require from a few min-  
utes up to 1 hour depending on the disc type and the  
amount of free space on the disc.

• Recording on DVD-R/RW in theVideo mode is a new  
standard approved at the 2000 DVD forum. Confor-  
mity to this standard varies with each DVD player  
manufacturer. Some models of DVD player or DVD-  
ROM drive, therefore, will not playback recorded vid-  
eos.

• When a DVD-RAM disc or a DVD-R disc created  
on this recorder is used (e.g., insertion, playback,  
recording or editing) in another DVD player, recorder  
or personal computer drive.  
• When a DVD-RAM disc or a DVD-R disc that is used  
in the manner described in the immediately preced-  
ing bullet point is used again in this recorder.  
• When a DVD-RAM disc or a DVD-R disc that was  
recorded in another DVD recorder, or in a personal  
computer drive is used in this recorder.  
Disc playback in other players  
DVD-RW/R recorded in this unit can be finalized. The  
disc can be played back in other players that can  
playback DVD-RW and DVD-R.  
For more information on finalization, see “FINALIZE” in  
“Setting the disc” (page 28).  
When recording in the VR mode

cause such a high level of noise that it may be harmful to your ears and damage your speakers.  
• DTS audio will be output only from the COAXIAL or OPTICAL output. To hear DTS audio, DTS-Decoder is  
necessary.  
• When playing DTS-encoded CDs, only noise will be heard from the speakers or analog stereo outputs.  
• Some DTS decoders which do not support DVD-DTS interface may not work properly with the unit.  
• The optical or coaxial digital output jack output sounds in the bitstream.

This DVD/VCR requires discs and recordings to meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal  
playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different types  
of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 or WMA files) and these require certain pre-  
existing conditions (see above) to ensure compatible playback. Because this area of technology is still  
evolving, Toshiba cannot guarantee that all recordable discs will produce optimal playback quality. The  
technical criteria set forth in this owner’s manual are meant only as a guide.  
Please be advised that you must obtain permission from the applicable copyright owners to download  
copyrighted content, including music files, in any format, including the MP3 and WMA formats, prior to the  
downloading thereof. Toshiba has no right to grant and does not grant permission to download any

Recording  
Read this before recording on disc  
Types of disc  
This section explains what you must  
know to record onto a disc. Read it  
before attempting to record.  
You can use DVD-RAM, DVD-RW and DVD-R discs to record video.  
DVD-RAM/-RW (VR mode)  
• This mode involves mutiple editing functions.  
• Various editing options using a created Playlist.  
NOTE:  
Should a power failure occur or the  
AC cord plug be disconnected while  
recording, editing, initializing, finaliz-  
ing or any other function, the program  
being recorded will be lost or the disc  
may not be playable. Manufacturer  
cannot guarantee against loss of pro-  
gram or disc should this occur. To  
start recording again, re-format the  
disc or use a new disc and follow the  
instruction on recording.  
DVD-RW/-R (Video mode)  
• Simple editing (renaming titles).  
For more information on recording format, see “Recording for-  
mat” (page 10).  
Recording modes  
There are 4 modes for recording on disc. Recording time and quality  
vary according to mode.  
Recording  
mode  
XP  
Recording time  
Approx. 60 min  
Quality  
Can record high quality images.  
Can record normal quality images.  
SP  
Approx. 120 min  
Quality deteriorates slightly, but  
recording time is longer.  
NOTES:  
Recording time can change for the  
following reasons.  
LP  
Approx. 240 min  
Recording time is prioritized over  
quality.  
SLP  
Approx. 360 min  
• When image quality is poor as dur-  
ing poor TV reception.  
• Recording time above is based on a 4.7GB disc.  
• When recording on a disc that has  
been edited before.  
• When the video is followed with re-  
cordings of still images or just au-  
dio.  
Since DVD recording is performed using VBR (Variable Bit Rate), re-  
cording time varies according to the recorded content.  
To know the correct recording time, stop recording and check the me-  
dia information. (See page 36.)  
Disc remaining time  
VR mode  
• Recording is possible as long as there is available space on the disc.  
(Finalized discs can be recorded by cancelling the finalization, see  
“UNDO FINALIZE” on page 29.)  
• Erasing unnecessary title frees up available space on the disc.(Titles  
can be erased from finalized discs by first undoing the finalization.  
See “UNDO FINALIZE” on page 29.)  
NOTE:  
Video mode  
Because of characteristics peculiar  
to digital video compression technol-  
ogy, scenes with fast motion may  
appear as a matrix of larger blocks.  
• Up until the disc is finalized, recording is possible as long as there is  
available space on the disc. (Once the disc has been finalized, addi-  
tional recording and erasing are not possible.)  
• The remaining time cannot be increased, nor can recorded title be  
overwritten.  
The unauthorized recording, use,  
distribution, or revision of television  
programs, videotapes, DVDs and  
other materials, is prohibited under  
the Copyright Laws of the United  
States and other countries, and  
may subject you to civil and/or  
criminal liability.  
• Titles cannot be erased nor can recorded titles be overwritten.

Editing the disc  
Editing the disc  
This section explains how to edit  
the recorded contents on DVD-  
RWs. However, the items that you  
can edit vary with the recording  
formats. In VR mode, you can edit  
various title menus, whereas in  
Video mode, you can edit only a  
few items.  
Title menu  
When the content is recorded, a title name that includes the date, time,  
channel number and other information is created automatically.  
The title menu can be used when you playback after confirming the  
contents (see page 35), or when you check the contents recorded on  
the disc.  
Original title  
The titles explained above are called original titles; these will be added  
with every recording. In VR mode you can do various editing opera-  
tions i.e., you can rename the titles or add the chapter marks. In addi-  
tion, you can erase the unnecessary titles to increase the disc space.  
Playlist  
You can create a playlist based on the original titles.  
You can combine or erase undesired scenes.  
If you create a playlist, it will become the primary list used by the disc.  
If you create a playlist to customize your viewing preferences, and  
choose to delete it, the original titles will not be affected. It is recom-  
mended to create and edit the playlist to prevent important titles from  
being erased accidentally.  
If you create a playlist, both the original title and playlist will be dis-  
played on the title menu.  
Editable items  
The items that can be edited are different between original title and  
playlist. For the disc in Video mode, only the title name can be edited.  
The items can be edited in each are as follows:

Video head cleaning  
Video head clogging  
The video heads are the means by which the DVD/VCR reads the picture from the tape during playback. In the  
unlikely event that the heads become dirty enough to be clogged, no picture will be played back.This can easily be  
determined if, during playback of a known good tape, there is good sound, but no picture (picture is extremely  
snowy). If this is the case, have the DVD/VCR checked by qualified service personnel.  
NOTES: • DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE  
REAR COVER.  
• Video heads may eventually wear out and should be replaced when they fail to produce clear pictures.  
To help prevent video head clogging, use only good quality VHS tapes. Discard worn out tapes.
