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 specific 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 and CD logos. If you happen to experience any difficulty playing an HD DVD, DVD and 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.
