    This DVD/VCR requires discs and recordings to meet certain 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

    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

    • 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

    50Read this before recording on disc
    Types of discYou 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 modesThere 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.
    To  start  recording  again,  re-format
    the disc or use a new disc and follow
    the instruction on recording.

    Images that cannot be recordedSome  DVD-Video  and  broadcasts  contain  copy-restriction  signals  to
    protect copyrights. There are 3 types of copy-restriction signals: “Copy
    Free”, “Copy Never” and “Copy Once”.
    “Copy Free” (unrestricted recording)Land-based TV broadcasts and images you record yourself with a video
    camera allow unrestricted recording. There are no restrictions on re-
    cording.
    “Copy Never” (recording prohibited)• Images  that  contain  the  recording  prohibited  signal  cannot  be  re-
    corded.
    • If the recording prohibited signal appears halfway through an image
    you are recording, recording is paused at that instant. When the re-
    cording prohibited signal ends, recording resumes.
    • This  unit  incorporates  a  built-in  copy  guard.  It  cannot  record  soft-
    ware or broadcasted programs that contain copy restriction signals
    designed to protect copyright, etc.
    “Copy Once” (one-time recordable)Programs (images) that contain the one-time recordable signal can be
    recorded  only  in  the  VR  mode  using  a  DVD-RW  disc  that  supports
    CPRM Ver. 1.1 and Ver 1.2 and DVD-RAM disc. The unauthorized recording, use,

    							Editing the disc
    60Editing the disc
    This section explains how to edit
    the  recorded  contents  on  DVD-
    RWs. However, the items that you
    can  edit  vary  with  the  recording
    formats. In VR mode, you can edit
    various  title  menus,  whereas  in
    Video  mode,  you  can  edit  only  a
    few items.Title menuWhen the content is recorded, a title name that includes the date, time,
    channel number and other information is created automatically.
    The  title  menu  can  be  used  when  you  playback  after  confirming  the
    contents (see page 32), or when you check the contents recorded on
    the disc.
    Original titleThe titles explained above are called original titles; these will be added
    with  every  recording.  In VR  mode,  you  can  do  various  editing  opera-
    tions i.e., you can rename the titles or add the chapter marks. In addi-
    tion, you can erase the unnecessary titles to increase the disc space.
    PlaylistYou can create a playlist based on the original titles.
    You can combine or erase undesired chapters.
    If you create a playlist, it will become the primary list used by the disc.
    If  you  create  a  playlist  to  customize  your  viewing  preferences,  and
    choose to delete it, the original titles will not be affected.  It is recom-
    mended to create and edit the playlist to prevent important titles from
    being erased accidentally.
    Editable itemsThe  items  that  can  be  edited  are  different  between  original  title  and
    playlist.
    The items can be edited in each are as follows:
    NOTES:
    • This  unit  cannot  record  or  edit  a
    disc which was recorded or edited
    using another DVD recorder.
    • You cannot edit or record the disc
    on which disc protection is set. In
    such  a  case,  make  sure  that  the
    disc protection is cancelled before
    starting the operation.
    • When  a  scene  has  been  erased,
    the  selected  position  for  erasing
    may  vary  slightly  from  the  actual
    erased position.Using these editing functions to modify copyrighted content for any
    purpose other than your private viewing may be prohibited under
    the Copyright Laws of the United States and other countries, and
    may subject you to civil and criminal liability.
