    This DVD/VCR requires discs and recordings to meet cer tain technical standards in order to achieve optimal
    playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different types
    of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 or WMA files) and these require certain pre-
    existing conditions (see above) to ensure compatible playback. Because this area of technology is still
    evolving, Toshiba cannot guarantee that all recordable discs will produce optimal playback quality. The
    technical criteria set forth in this owner’s manual are meant only as a guide.
    Please be advised that you must obtain permission from the applicable copyright owners to download
    copyrighted content, including music files, in any format, including the MP3 and WMA formats, prior to the
    downloading thereof. Toshiba has no right to grant and does not grant permission to download any

    Progressive scan
    The unit supports the progressive
    scanning system as well as the con-
    ventional interlaced scanning sys-
    tem. If your TV is equipped with com-
    ponent video input jacks which sup-
    port the progressive video input, you
    can enjoy high quality picture by
    making the progressive scanning
    mode active.Preparation:
    •Connect to a TV equipped with component jacks which support the
    progressive video input.
    •Turn ON the TV and set it to the corresponding video input mode.
    •Press DVD to select the DVD mode. (The DVD indicator will light.)

    stop mode. The PROGRESSIVE indicator “
    ” on the display win-
    dow will light.
    NOTES:
    •Some discs may not be played back with the progressive scan mode correctly because of the disc characteris-
    tics or recording condition.
    •There are some progressive TV and High-Definition TV sets that are not fully compatible with the unit, resulting
    in an unnatural picture when playing back a DVD disc in the progressive scan mode. In such a case, use the
    interlaced scanning mode.
    •You cannot activate the progressive scan mode when the unit is in the VCR mode.•The unit recognizes the picture source (film or video) of the cur-
    rent disc according to the disc information.
    •Progressive scanning not only works for DVD playback, but also
    video signals from the VCR, built-in tuner and external input ter-
    minals.
    •To make the progressive scanning mode inactive, press and hold
    PROGRESSIVE for more than 2 seconds in the stop mode. The
    PROGRESSIVE indicator “
    ” on the display window will go
    off.

    							Recording
    50Read this before recording on disc
    Types of disc
    You can use DVD-RAM, DVD-RW and DVD-R discs to record video.
    DVD-RAM/-RW (VR mode)
    •This mode involves multiple editing functions.
    •Various editing options using a created Playlist.
    DVD-RW (Video mode)/-R
    •Simple editing (renaming titles).
    For more information on recording format, see “Recording for-
    mat” (page 10).
    Recording modes
    There are 4 modes for recording on disc. Recording time and quality
    vary according to mode.
    •Recording time above is based on a 4.7GB disc.
    Since DVD recording is performed using VBR (Variable Bit Rate), re-
    cording time varies according to the recorded content.
    To know the correct recording time, stop recording and check the me-
    dia information. (See page 33.)
    Disc remaining time
    VR mode
    •Recording is possible as long as there is available space on the disc.
    (Finalized discs can be recorded by cancelling the finalization, see
    “Undo Finalize” on page 30.)
    •Erasing unnecessary title frees up available space on the disc. (Titles
    can be erased from finalized discs by cancelling the finalization. See
    “Undo Finalize” on page 30.)
    Video mode
    •Up until the disc is finalized, recording is possible as long as there is
    available space on the disc. (Once the disc has been finalized, addi-
    tional recording and erasing are not possible.)
    •The remaining time cannot be increased nor overwrite the recorded
    title.
    •Titles cannot be erased nor overwrite the recorded titles. This section explains information on
    disc before recording. Read it before
    attempting to record.
    NOTES:
    Recording time can change for the
    following reasons.
    •When image quality is poor as dur-
    ing poor TV reception.
    •When recording on a disc that has
    been edited before.
    •When the video is followed with re-
    cordings of still images or just au-
    dio.
    NOTE:
    If a power failure occurs or the AC
    cord plug is disconnected, the pro-
    gram being recorded will be lost,  or
    the disc may not be playable when
    perform recording, editing, initializ-
    ing, finalizing or any other function.
    Manufacturer cannot guarantee the
    loss of program or disc occurrence.
