Before Using Notes on region codes Playable discs The region code of this unit is set according to the location you purchased the unit. If region codes, which stand for their playable area, are printed on your DVD video disc and you do not find ALL or region code matches to your unit, disc playback will not be allowed by the player. Some DVDs that have no region code label may still be subject to area restrictions and therefore not playable. On Video CDs This unit supports Video CDs equipped with the PBC (Version 2.0) function. (PBC is the abbreviation of Playback Control.) You can enjoy two playback variations depending on types of discs. • Video CD not equipped with PBC function (Version 1.1) Sound and movie can be played on this unit in the same way as an audio CD. • Video CD equipped with PBC function (Version 2.0) In addition to operation of a Video CD not equipped with the PBC function, you can enjoy playback of interactive software with search function by using the menu displayed on the screen (Menu Playback).

Because of problems and errors that can occur during the creation of DVD software and/or the manufacture of DVD discs, Toshiba cannot guarantee that this player will play every feature of every DVD bearing the DVD logo. As one of the creators of DVD technology, Toshiba DVD players are manufactured to the highest standards of quality and, as a result, such incompatibilities are very rare. 13
