Disc playback 41 MP3/WMA/JPEG/DivX® playback This DVD/VCR requires discs and recordings to meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 or WMA files) and these require certain pre- existing conditions (see above) to ensure compatible playback. Because this area of technology is still evolving, Toshiba cannot guarantee that all recordable discs will produce optimal playback quality. The technical criteria set forth in this owner’s manual are meant only as a guide.

To know the correct recording time, stop recording and check the me- dia information. (See page 31.) Disc remaining time VR mode •Recording is possible as long as there is available space on the disc. (Finalized discs can be recorded by cancelling the finalization, see “Unfinalize” on page 24.) •Erasing unnecessary title frees up available space on the disc. (Titles can be erased from finalized discs by first undoing the finalization. See “Unfinalize” on page 24.)
