WARNING:

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!

Never attempt to service this product yourself. Opening and removing the covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Failure to follow this WARNING may result in death or serious injury. Refer all servicing not specified in this manual to a Toshiba Authorized Service Center.

CAUTION!

Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static sprays intended for analog discs. Since the optical unit (laser) of the DVD system operates at a higher power than regular DVD or CD players, cleaning CDs intended for DVD or CD players may damage the optical unit (laser). Therefore, refrain from using a cleaning CD.

Setup

Finding a suitable location

-Place the set on a flat, hard and stable surface. -Do not place the set on a carpet.

(e.g.CDs, magazines).

-Install this unit near the AC outlet and where the AC power plug can be reached easily.

Space for ventilation

-Place the apparatus in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat build up. Allow at least 10 cm (4.0'') clearance from the rear and the top of the set and 5 cm (2.0'') from the left and right to prevent overheating.

Avoid high temperatures, moisture, water and dust

-Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing.

-Do not place any sources of danger on the apparatus (e.g., liquid filled objects, lighted candles).

Cleaning discs

Some problems occur because the disc inside the system is dirty (frozen picture, sound disruptions, picture distortions). To avoid these problems, discs should be cleaned on a regular basis.

To clean a disc, use a micro fibre cleaning cloth and wipe the disc from the center to the edge in a straight line. Do not touch the playback side of the disc.

Moisture Condensation

Moisture condensation damages the DVD player. Please read the following carefully. Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you pour a cold drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of water form on the outside of the glass. In the same way, moisture may condense on the optical pick-up lens inside this unit, one of the most crucial internal parts of the DVD player.

If you use the DVD player in such a situation, it may damage discs and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect the power cord of the DVD player to the wall outlet, turn on the DVD player, and leave it for two or three hours. After two or three hours, the DVD player will have warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep the DVD player connected to the wall outlet and moisture condensation will seldom occur.

Region Codes

This DVD player is designed to support the Region Management System. Check the regional code number on the disc package. If the number does not match the player' s region number (see table on page 4), the player may be unable to playback the disc.

Tips:

-It may not be possible to play CD-R/RW , DVD+R/ RW , or DVD+R DL in all cases due to the type of disc or condition of the recording.

-If you are having trouble playing a certain disc, remove the disc and try a different one. Improperly formatted disc will not play on this DVD Player.
