Introduction
Choosing a disc (cont'd)
Because of problems and errors that can occur during the creation of DVD and CD software and/or the manufacture
of DVD and CD discs, Toshiba cannot guarantee that product will play every feature of every DVD bearing the DVD
logo and/or every CD bearing the CD logo. As one of the creators of DVD technology, Toshiba DVD players are
manufactured using the highest standards of quality, and as a result, such incompatibilities are rare.
