We cannot guarantee the playback us- ing other players. On Video CDsThis DVD 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 DVD 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 TV screen (Menu Playback). Some of the functions described in this owner’s manual may not work with some discs. Title/Chapter/TrackA DVD-Video has large partitions called “Titles”, and smaller partitions within them called “Chapters”. A music CD has other partitions called “Tracks”. A num- ber is allotted to each partition and these numbers are called “title numbers”, “chapter numbers” or “track num- bers”. When recording in the VR modeOne-time recording is set to 1 title (1 chapter). How- ever, if you stop recording temporarily or erase scenes by editing, the chapter will automatically be partitioned. The interval between chapters can be specified. (See page 29.) When recording in the Video modeOne-time recording is set to 1 title. In recording, chap- ters are set automatically. The interval between chap- ters can be specified. (See page 29.) NOTES: • The title, chapter and track are numbered, but some discs may not record the numbers. • Recording on DVD-R/RW in the Video mode is a new standard approved at the 2000 DVD forum. Confor- mity to this standard varies with each DVD player manufacturer. Some models of DVD player or DVD- ROM drive, therefore, will not playback recorded vid- eos.• Toshiba is not liable for any damage or loss caused directly or indirectly by the malfunction of this DVD/ VCR, including, without limitation, any one of the following: • Failure to record contents intended to be recorded by the consumer. • Failure to edit contents as intended by the consumer. • When a DVD-RAM disc or a DVD-R disc created on this recorder is used (e.g., insertion, playback, recording or editing) in another DVD player, recorder or personal computer drive. • When a DVD-RAM disc or a DVD-R disc that is used in the manner described in the immediately preceding bullet point is used again in this recorder. • When a DVD-RAM disc or a DVD-R disc that was recorded in another DVD recorder, or in a personal computer drive is used in this recorder. • Discs recorded in this recorder may not operate as expected on other DVD players, recorders or personal computer drives. Disc playback in other playersDVD-RW/R recorded in this unit can be finalized. The disc can be played back in other players that can playback DVD-RW and DVD-R. For more information on finalization, see “Finalize” in “Setting the Disc” (page 30).
