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 car-
tridges: removable (TYPE 2/4) and non-
removable (TYPE 1).
It is recommended not to 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.
• To protect recorded contents
Slide the write-protect tab to “PRO-
TECT” with something small enough.
The disc can play, but cannot be
edited or erased. Refer to the instruc-
tions that come with the disc.

* This unit is designed to playback music Compact Discs (CD) that
conform to the CD standard. CDs that contain (copy-restriction) sig-
nals to protect copyrights cannot be played back.
Because of problems and errors that can occur during
the creation of DVD and CD software and/or the manu-
facture of DVD and CD discs, Toshiba cannot guaran-
tee that DVD/VCR will play every feature of every DVD
bearing the DVD logo and/or every CD bearing the CD
logo. As one of the creators of DVD technology, Toshiba
DVD players are manufactured using the highest stan-
dards of quality, and as a result, such incompatibilities
are rare. If you happen to experience any difficulty play-
ing a DVD or a CD on DVD/VCR, please feel free to
contact us via the method listed in the "How to Obtain
Warranty Services" section on page 90.
