Introduction
Precautions
Notes on handling
7 Never disconnect the power cord from a wall outlet
while the player is turned on, unless it is in an
emergency. Doing so may cause malfunction.
7 When shipping the player, the original shipping
carton and packing materials come in handy. For
maximum protection, repack the unit as it was
originally packed at the factory.
7 Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray,
near the player. Do not leave rubber or plastic
products in contact with the player for a long time.
They will leave marks on the fi nish.
7 The top and rear panels of the player may become
warm after a long period of use. This is not a
malfunction.
When not in use
7 For usual absence
Be sure to remove the disc from the player and
turn off the power.
7 Prolonged absence
Unplug the player from a wall outlet. (This will stop
the clock. Display “SETUP MENU” by pressing
SETUP, and reset the clock (
page 50, 57).)
Notes on locating
7 Place the player on a level surface. Do not use
it on a shaky or unstable surface such as a
wobbly table or inclined stand. The loaded disc
may dislodge from its proper position and cause
damage to the player.
Before placing the player, make sure that the
surface can stand the weight of the player.
Never place the player in a high location to avoid
damage to the product or person by an accidental
fall of the player.
7 When you place this player near a TV, radio, or
VTR, the playback picture may become poor and
the sound may be distorted depending on the
condition and location of said equipment. In such
an event, place the player as far away much as
possible from the TV, radio, or VTR.
7 To avoid damage to this product, never place or
store the unit in direct sunlight; hot, humid areas;
or areas subject to excessive dust, oily smoke,
cigarette smoke or vibration.
Notes on cleaning
Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
7 Do not use any type of solvent, such as thinner or
benzine, as they may damage the surface of the
player.
About the volume level
The volume level of some commercial HD DVD and
DVD discs may seem lower than that of audio CDs,
other software, etc. If you turn up the volume of the
TV or amplifi er to play such discs, be sure to turn it
back down after playback fi nishes.
Playback restrictions
This owner’s manual explains the basic instructions
for this player. Some HD DVD discs or DVD video
discs are produced in a manner that allows specifi c
or limited operation during playback. As such, the
player may not respond to all operating commands.
This is not a defect in the player. 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
player or the disc.
About software
Because of problems and errors that can occur
during the creation of HD DVD, DVD and CD
software and/or the manufacture of HD DVD, DVD
and CD discs, Toshiba cannot assure that this player
will successfully play every disc bearing the HD
DVD, DVD or CD logos. If you happen to experience
any diffi culty playing an HD DVD, DVD or CD disc
on this player, please contact Toshiba customer
service.
Some differences
The HD DVD player 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 an HD DVD 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 HD DVD player 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.
Please take these factors into consideration as you
use the HD DVD player.
