Follow the precautions indicated below to prevent damage to
the internal HDD. (Not following precautions may result in a
loss of recording, stop of operation or recording of noise.)
∫ During setup:
≥ Do not place in an enclosed area so the rear cooling fan and the
cooling vents on the side are covered up.
≥ Place the unit on a surface that is flat and not subject to vibration
or impact.
≥ Place in an area where condensation does not occur.
Condensation is a phenomenon where moisture forms on a cold
surface when there is an extreme change in temperature. Con-
densation may cause internal damage to the unit.
➜ In the above situation, with the power off, let the unit adjust to
the room temperature and wait 2-3 hours until condensation is
gone.
∫ While operating
≥ Do not remove the AC power plug from the AC outlet, or flip the
power breaker switch.
≥ Do not move the unit or subject to vibration or impact.
➜ When moving the unit:
1 Turn the power switch off (Wait until “BYE” disappears from the
display)
2 Remove the AC power plug from the AC outlet
3 Wait 2 minutes before moving
While the unit is on, the HDD will be spinning at high speed and it is
normal to hear sounds. These sounds are not problems.
∫ In the event of a power failure
If a power failure occurs, contents in the process of playback/record-
ing may be damaged.
∫ Safeguards against accidental loss
Data may be lost if the HDD suffers damage. Any contents you wish
to keep permanently should be dubbed to DVD-RAM or DVD-R.
This units records using a VBR (Variable bit recording) data com-
pression system to vary recorded data segments to match video
data segments which may cause differences in the displayed
amount of time and space remaining for recording.
If the remaining amount time is insufficient, erase any unwanted
programs to create enough space before you start recording. (Eras-
ing a playlist will not increase the amount of time.)
HDD (Hard disk drive)
Conditions where condensation may occur
–During the rainy season in tropical and sub tropical areas.
–When there is high humidity or a lot of steam in the room.
–When there is an extreme change in temperature (moving
from a very hot location to a very cold location, or when an
extreme change in air conditioning or cooled air directly
impacts the unit.)
