About this owner’s manual
This owner’s manual explains the basic instructions of
this DVD video player. Some DVD video discs are
produced in a manner that allows specific or limited
operation during playback. As such, the DVD may not
respond to all operating commands. This is not a defect
in the DVD. Refer to instruction notes of discs.
“ ” may appear on the TV screen during operation.
A “ ” means that the operation is not permitted by the

For example, sometimes it is unable to stop the playback
of copyright message of the disc when the STOP (3)
button is pressed. Alternatively, the “

Because of problems and errors that can occur during the
creation of DVD software and/or the manufacture of DVD
discs, Toshiba cannot guarantee that this player will play
every feature of every DVD bearing the DVD logo. As one
of the creators of DVD technology, Toshiba DVD players
are manufactured using the highest standards of quality,
and as a result, such incompatibilities are rare. If you
happen to experience any difficulty playing a DVD on a
Toshiba DVD player, please feel free to call our Contact
