In addition to a microprocessor, it contains a hard disc drive (an HDD), an operating system, random access memory (RAM), and a DVDRAM/R/RW drive. The operating system includes software stored on the HDD 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 on the DVD recorder, it may take a minute or so before it is ready to use. Likewise, other functions may not be performed as quickly as they would on other AV equipment. In addition, because programs stored on the DVD-RAM/R/RW drive cannot be accessed as quickly as those stored on the HDD, accessing those programs (or deleting a program from a DVD-RAM or DVD-RW disc) may take more time. Please take these factors into consideration as you use the DVD recorder. Playback Restrictions This owner's manual explains the basic instructions for this recorder. Some DVD video discs are produced in a manner that allows specific or limited operation during playback. As such, the recorder may not respond to all operating commands. This is not a defect in the recorder. 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 recorder or the disc. Recording Playback Recording Restrictions Copy-protected contents of DVD-Video disc, VIDEO CDs or audio CDs on the market cannot be copied on this recorder. Contents without copy protection should be copied or edited only in accordance with applicable copyright laws, which may restrict copying or editing. Contents that permit single copying (copy once contents) can be recorded onto the HDD or a CPRM compatible DVDRAM, DVD-RW (VR mode) or DVD-R (VR mode). They cannot be recorded onto a DVD-RW (Video mode) or DVD-R (Video mode). Copy once contents recorded in the HDD can be moved to a CPRM compatible DVDRAM, DVD-RW or DVD-R, with some dubbing and editing restrictions. About the hard disc drive (HDD) Like any HDD, the HDD in the DVD recorder is a fragile device that is susceptible to partial or complete failure if it is jarred or as a result of use over time. It will not last forever. Therefore, do not use the HDD for longer term storage of programs you wish to retain. If portions of the HDD become damaged, programs recorded on those portions may exhibit pixelization or block noise when played back. Repeated playback of the program may cause the problem to get worse and, eventually, the program may become unplayable. If you notice such noise in a program that you want to save, you should transfer to a recordable DVD disc as soon as possible. Recordable DVD discs are also susceptible to damage if not handled and stored carefully, some or all of the programs on them may become unplayable. You can reduce these risks by using high quality DVD recordable discs and checking their playability from time to time. If it becomes necessary to service your DVD recorder, it may be necessary to delete some or all of the programs on the HDD. Editing Function Setup Compatibility Others In isolated cases, a disc bearing the DVD or CD logo may not fully and properly play back all features. This can be due, among other reasons, to problems and errors that can occur during the creation or recording of DVD and other software and the manufacture of software discs (including blank discs). Moreover, because of variations in the quality of discs, this recorder may not be able to record on all discs that bear a DVD-RAM, DVD-R or DVD-RW logo, but you should not encounter difficulty if you use only high quality recordable DVD discs. 5 RD-85DT_Ope_E_p002-013 5 3/30/06, 11:45 Introduction Compatible discs When you want to play DVD or CD software or copy programmes from the HDD to a recordable DVD, load an appropriate disc into the recorder. There are many types and formats of discs. Please use the following information to select an appropriate disc. Notes · Handle the disc according to the disc instruction manual. · Depending on the data recording method or the disc status, playback or recording on this recorder may not be possible, even if the disc is labeled as below. Toshiba cannot assure that all discs bearing the DVD or CD logos will operate as expected. Please see the discussion of compatibility on page 5. For recording / playback Disc Mark Specification 160GB · Single sided 4.7GB (12cm (43/4 in.)) · Double sided 9.4GB (12cm (43/4 in.))

VR mode Video mode On DVD-RAM discs Use only DVD-RAM discs that comply with DVD-RAM standard Version 2.0, 2.1 or 2.2. The recorder cannot record on a disc formatted in any other standard. When using such a disc, initialize it by using the disc-format function of this recorder. The recorder may not record, dub, or edit some DVDRAM discs, because they are edited/recorded with another manufacture's equipment or PC, contain a large number of titles, or have little remaining capacity. Also, a DVD-RAM disc may not be edited or recorded if its title contains still pictures. DVD-RAM discs formatted in UDF2.0 on a PC are not compatible with this recorder. Before using these discs, initialize them on this recorder. Select a DVD-RAM disc that shows a statement on its package such as "this disc can be used with video recorders and drives compatible with 4.7GB DVDRAM discs" or "this disc can copy images that permit single copying." This recorder complies with current copyright protection technology and can copy a disc only when the disc permits copying once. When there is no indication on the disc, copying will not be allowed. DVD-RAM discs with cartridges are recommended for recording. Two types of DVD-RAM discs are available: ones with cartridges and ones without cartridges. You can use either of them with this recorder, but the former ones are recommended. In order to record highly detailed data, make sure the disc is clean. DVD-RAM discs with cartridges are easier to handle in this regard. Do not open the cartridge shutter. The disc may not play, or may not be recorded or edited once it becomes dirty. There are two types of DVD-RAM cartridges; removable (TYPE 2/4) and not removable (TYPE 1). It is recommended you do not remove the disc even when you can. Refer to the instruction manual that comes with the disc if it is absolutely necessary to remove the disc. Some commercially available cartridge discs cannot be recorded or edited once the inside discs are removed. 6 RD-85DT_Ope_E_p002-013 6 3/27/06, 19:39 Introduction To protect recorded contents Slide the write-protect tab to "PROTECT" with something small enough. The disc can play, but cannot be edited or erased. Refer to the instructions that come with the disc. On DVD-R discs Standards PROTECT When using a disc without a cartridge (commercially available discs) Discs without cartridges can easily attract fingerprints and dust, which is the reason they are not recommended. If you cannot avoid using them, handle with proper care. When you write in a title column on a disc, use a pen with a soft tip. Do not use a pen with a hard tip, such as a ballpoint pen.
