When recording in the Video mode
When a disc recorded in the Video mode is finalized, it
cannot be recorded onto any mode. 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:
• 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.
• A DVD-RW Ver.1.1/1.2 recorded in the Video mode
cannot be recorded or edited after finalization. But if
you format the disc by erasing all the content, you
can record on this disc again.
• A finalized disc may not play because of the condi-
tion of the DVD or the compatibility with the player
used for playback.
• Some players may not playback the discs recorded
with this unit. We cannot guarantee the playback us-
ing other players.
On Video CDs
This DVD supports Video CDs equipped with the
PBC (Version 2.0) function. (PBC is the abbreviation
of Playback Control.) You can enjoy two playback
variations depending on types of discs.
• Video CD not equipped with PBC function
(Version 1.1)
Sound and movie can be played on this DVD in the
same way as an audio CD.
• Video CD equipped with PBC function
(Version 2.0)
In addition to operation of a Video CD not equipped
with the PBC function, you can enjoy playback of
interactive software with search function by using
the menu displayed on the TV screen (Menu
Playback). Some of the functions described in this
owner’s manual may not work with some discs.
Title/Chapter/Track
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 numbers” or “track num-
bers”.
When recording in the VR mode
One-time recording is set to 1 title (1 chapter). How-
ever, if you stop recording temporarily or erase scenes
by editing, the chapter will automatically be partitioned.
The interval between chapters can be specified. (See
page 29.)
When recording in the Video mode
One-time recording is set to 1 title. In recording, chap-
ters are set automatically. The interval between chap-
ters can be specified. (See page 29.)
NOTES:
• The title, chapter and track are numbered, but some
discs may not record the numbers.
• Recording on DVD-R/RW in the Video 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.
• Toshiba is not liable for any damage or loss caused
directly or indirectly by the malfunction of this DVD/
VCR, including, without limitation, any one of the
following:
• Failure to record contents intended to be recorded
by the consumer.
• Failure to edit contents as intended by the consumer.
• 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
preceding 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.
• Discs recorded in this recorder may not operate as
expected on other DVD players, recorders or
personal computer drives.
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 30).
When recording in the VR mode
Even if a DVD-RW disc recorded in the VR mode is
finalized, you can record or edit by cancelling the
finalization. (See “Finalize” on page 30.)
When you playback the disc with another player, make
sure that the DVD player supports DVD-RW.
