Precautions
Notes on handling
• Never 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.
• When 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.
• Do 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 fi nish.
• The 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
• For usual absence
Be sure to remove the disc from the player and turn off the
power.
• Prolonged absence
Unplug the player from a wall outlet. (This will stop the
clock. Display "SETUP MENU" by pressing SETUP (
page 30), and reset the clock.)
Notes on locating
• Place 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.
• When 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
as practical from the TV, radio, or VCR.
• To 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.
• Do 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 amplifi er
to play such discs, be sure to turn it back down after
playback fi nishes.

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 specifi c 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 diffi culty 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.
