Technology & Benefits
VHS Recordings from the DVD player
Provided the selected DVD disc has not been encoded with the Macrovision
TM
copy
protection scheme, you can record DVDs to VHS without color distortion. Make cus-
tom collections and "best of" tapes without the need for excessive wiring.
ColorStream
Component Video Outputs
These outputs allow the highest quality video signal to be sent from the DVD player
to a component video equipped TV. When this connection is utilized, typical NTSC arti-
facts - like video noise and dot crawl - are virtually eliminated, resulting in a low-
noise, highly detailed picture with unequaled color purity.
JPEG Viewer
The Toshiba JPEG Viewer enables a user to display digital photographs, created on a
personal computer in the JPEG digital format, on any television. An intuitive on-
screen display assists in the creation of customized slideshows with a few simple
clicks of the DVD player's remote control.
MP3 & WMA Compatibility Audio Playback
Expands the players' functionality to include playback of custom music
collections encoded via MP3 or Windows Media Audio (WMA) digital audio
format onto CD-R or CD-RW media.
Dialogue Enhancer (E.A.M.)
Designated on the player as EAM. Three modes are included. NORMAL, 3-D
(virtual surround sound) and DIALOGUE, which enhances center channel
(dialogue) frequencies during playback of Dolby Digital encoded discs via
analogue audio outputs. BENEFIT: Great for 'late night' listening when volumes
are low but dialogue intelligibility is of concern.
4 Head/19-Micron Head System
Offers superior slow motion effects over conventional 2 head designs. Toshiba's 19-
Micron Heads match precisely the width of the LP and EP azimuths and read only the
signal recorded on each azimuth (not adjoining tracks). The benefit is significantly
enhanced SLP and EP performance so good, it rivals the quality of tapes recorded in
the SP Mode.
S-VHS Quasi Playback
This features will allow tapes that were recorded in a Super VHS deck to be played
back in the Toshiba deck without a significant reduction in quality.
VHS HiFi Stereo
Delivers the highest quality stereo sound from tapes recorded with a high fidelity
soundtrack. Can be used in conjunction with a surround sound receiver to create sig-
nature Dolby Surround or Dolby ProLogic
®
Surround sound in the home theater
environment.
Bookmarks
Players with this feature let users virtually mark favorite locations/scenes on discs
inside the player. The bookmark feature provides quick access to those scenes the
user wants to view again or demonstrate to a friend. Select players offer up to nine
bookmarks for greater accessibility.
Commercial Skip
After a program has been recorded, pressing the SKIP button once during playback
will automatically advance the tape 30-seconds forward bypassing recorded commer-
cials. Pressing the skip button on the remote again will advance the recorded tape
for another 30-seconds for a total of 60-seconds.
Auto Clock Set
This feature ensures that your VCR never blinks "12:00" again. A special data stream
in your local broadcast source (where available) automatically sets the clock display
and keeps it accurate—even when time changes to daylight savings and back.
