Only JPEG files with the ".jpg", ".JPG" extension
can be used.
The unit can handle a maximum of 1000 files and
folders.
Maximum size of progressive JPEG is 3M pixels.
MOTION JPEG is not supported.
JPEG CD-R/-RW
Use a 700MB(80 minutes) CD-R/-RW disc.
If possible, do not use a 800MB(90 minutes) or
above disc, as the disc may not play back.
If the CD-R/-RW disc was not recorded as a closed
ses-sion, you may experience a delay in the early
play-back time, and all recorded files may not play.
Some CD-R/-RW discs may not be playable with
this unit, depending on the device which was used
to burn them.
For contents recorded on CD-R/-RW media from
CDs for your personal use, playability may vary
depending on contents and discs.
Once a DVD-RW/DVD-R recorded in Video Mode is
finalised, it becomes DVD-Video.
You can record onto the available space on the disc
and perform editing functions such as giving titles
to discs and programs and erasing programs
before finalising.
When programming is erased from a DVD-R, that
space does not become available. Once an area on
a DVD-R is recorded on, that area is no longer
available for recording, whether the recording is
erased or not.
Using CD-R/-RW
It takes about 30 seconds for the unit to complete
recording management information after recording
finishes.
This product optimizes the DVD-R for each record-
ing. Optimizing is carried out when you start record-
ing after inserting the disc or turn on the unit.
Recording onto the disc may become impossible if
optimizing is carried out too many times.
Playback may be impossible in some cases due to
the condition of recording.
This unit can play back DVD-R discs recorded and
finalised with a Toshiba DVD recorder. It may not
be able to play some DVD-R discs depending on
the disc and the condition of the recording.
DVD-R Disc Playback and Recording
DVD-RW Disc Playback and Recording
Recording and playback can be performed on DVD-
RW discs in both Video and VR Modes.
Once a DVD-RW recorded in VR Mode is finalised,
you cannot perform additional recording.
Once a DVD-RW recorded in Video Mode is
finalised, it becomes DVD-Video.
In both modes, playback can be performed before
and after finalisation, but additional recording, delet-
ing and editing can not be performed after finalisa-
tion.
If you want to record the disc in VR Mode and then
record in V Mode, be sure to execute Format. Be
careful when executing Format because all the
recorded data may be lost.
A DVD-RW blank disc is initialized to VR Mode
when first initialized.
DVD-RW (VR mode)
- This is a format that is used for recording data on a
DVD-RAM or DVD-RW disc. You can repeat record-
ing, editing, deleting, partial deletion, creation of
playlist, and etc.
- A disc that is recorded in this mode may not be
played by existing DVD players.
DVD-RW (Video mode)
- This is a format that is used for recording data on a
DVD-RW or DVD-R disc. The disc can be played by
an existing DVD player once it has been finalised.
- If a disc that has been recorded in Video mode by a
different manufacturer's recorder but has not been
finalised it cannot be played or additionally be
recorded by this recorder.
DVD-RAM discs come with or without a cartridge.
For this product, we recommend DVD-RAM discs
that come with cartridges.
Some cartridges are able to eject the disc inside.
Even if you are able to eject the disc, always use
the disc with the cartridge to ensure correct opera-
tion.
DVD-RAM discs have a Write Protect tab in order
to avoid accidental erasure of recorded data. With
the Write Protect tab set to PROTECT, you can
play the disc, but recording or erasing will not work.
Set the Write Protect tab to UNPROTECT to format
the disc or erase data.
Ensure that the recording mode is set to VR mode.
Otherwise, this product will not be able to play the
recording.
You cannot play a DVD-RAM in most DVD players
due to compatibility issues.
Only DVD-RAM standard Version 2.0 discs can be
played in this unit.
DVD-RAM recorded on this unit may not work with
other DVD Players. To determine compatibility with
these DVD-RAM discs, refer to the user’s manual
for the player.
This unit is compatible with both non-cartridge and car-
tridge DVD-RAM, but the write-protect tabs on car-
tridge-type discs give better protection to your record-
ings.
DVD-RAM Disc Playback and Recording

Step 5
Editing a recorded disc
You can select the title you want to play in a displayed
menu and then immediately start playback.
A DVD consists of sections, called titles, and sub sec-
tions, called chapters.
During recording, a title is created between two points
where you start and stop recording, DVD-RW/DVD-R
discs(in Video mode) can automatically create chap-
ters according to the recording mode when finalised.
There are two different recording methods: Direct
Recording and Timer Recording. Timer recording is
classified as recording type : Once, Daily or Weekly or
recording mode : XP (high quality mode), SP (stan-
dard quality mode), LP (long recording mode), and EP
(extended mode) according to the recording mode.
Editing on discs is easier than conventional video tapes.
The recorder supports many different edit functions, pos-
sible only with DVDs.
With a simple and easy edit menu, you can operate vari-
ous edit functions, such as delete, copy, rename, lock,
etc., on a recorded title.
Creating a playlist (DVD-RAM/DVD-RW in VR
mode)
With this recorder, you can create a new playlist on the
same disc and edit it without the change of the original
recording.
To play your DVD on other DVD components, finalsing
may be necessary. First, finish all editing and recording
operations, then finalise the disc.
When using a DVD-RW disc in VR Mode
Although finalising is generally unnecessary when playing
the disc on a VR Mode compatible component, a
finalised disc should be used for playback on that type of
component.
When using a DVD-RW disc in Video Mode
The disc should be finalised first to enable playback on
anything other than this recorder. No more editing or
recording can be made on the disc once it has been
finalised.
To enable recording on the disc again, Disc should be
unfinalised.
When using a DVD-R disc
You should finalise the disc to play it on a component
other than this recorder. You cannot edit or record on the
disc once it has been finalised.

How to use the DVD
Recorder-VCR
Step 1
Select the disc type
Step 2
Format the disc to start recording
This unit can record on the following types of discs.
If you want to repeatedly record on the same disc or
you want to edit the disc after recording, select a
rewritable DVD-RW or DVD-RAM type disc. If you
want to save a recording without any changes,
choose a non-rewritable DVD-R.
Unlike a VCR, the recorder automatically starts formatting
when an unused disc is inserted. This is required for the
preparation of recording on a disc.
Using a DVD-RAM
This type of disc can be formatted in DVD-Video Recording
format (VR mode). You can edit recorded images and create
a playlist in a specific sequence according to your require-
ments.
Using a DVD-RW
This type of disc can be formatted in either DVD-Video for-
mat (Video mode) or DVD-Video Recording format (VR
mode). For an unused disc, a message that asks whether to
format in VR Mode or not is displayed. You can play a video
mode disc on various DVD components. A VR mode disc
allows more varied editing.
Using a DVD-R
This type of disc can be formatted in DVD Video format.
After formatting is complete, you can record on the disc. You
can play this type of disc on various DVD components only
when they have been finalised.
You can only use one format on a DVD-RW.
You can change the DVD-RW format to anoth-
er format. It should be noted that the data of
the disc may be lost when changing formats.

Before Recording
This unit can record on various types of discs. Before
recording, read the following instructions and select the
disc type according to your preference.
Recordable discs
This recorder can record on the following discs.
DVD-RAM DVD-RW DVD-R
•DVD-RWs and DVD-RAMs are rewritable.
•DVD-Rs are non-rewritable.
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 soft-
ware 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.
If you happen to encounter difficulties playing or record-
ing a DVD disc of playing a CD disc, please feel free to
call our Customer Service Hotline.
