Precautions

Notes on handling

7Never 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.

7When 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.

7Do 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 finish.

7The 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

7For usual absence

Be sure to remove the disc from the player and turn off the power.

7Prolonged 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

7Place 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.

7When you place this player near a TV, radio, or VCR, 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 VCR.

7To 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.

7Do 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 amplifier to play such discs, be sure to turn it back down after playback finishes.

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 specific 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 difficulty 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.
