A comprehensive Operating and Service Manual. All schematics are complete and easy to read. The PCB drawings and complete parts list are very helpful. I would definitely recommend this manual.
Genuine Toshiba owner's manual. Couldn't really ask for more. And written in understandable English in contrast to a few recent experiences I have had with manuals for other equipment other than Toshiba but made in China and written in "Chinglish"!

WARNING
AC power cord must only be changed at qualified service shop.
Precautions
� The set is not disconnected from the AC power source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the set itself has been turned off. � To prevent accident from a short circuit, do not come into contact with the terminal inside the shutter at the rear of the camcorder. Notes on the POWER lamp � The POWER lamp will remain lit for a while even if the unit is unplugged after use. This is normal. � If the POWER lamp does not light, disconnect the AC power cord. After about one minute, try again.
Using a Car Battery
Use the DC-V515/V700 pack (not supplied). Connect the cord of the DC pack to the cigarette lighter socket of a car (12 V or 24 V). Connect the DC pack in the same way as the AC power adaptor. Use the connecting cord supplied with this camcorder.
