• When disconnecting the AC
power cord, turn off the power
and make sure that the hard
disk drive is not operating (the
clock is displayed in the front
panel display for at least 30
seconds and all recording or
dubbing has stopped).
• Do not move the recorder for
one minute after you have
unplugged the AC power
cord.
• Do not attempt to replace or
upgrade the hard disk by
yourself, as this may result in
malfunction.
If the hard disk drive should
malfunction, you cannot
recover lost data. The hard disk
drive is only a temporary
storage space.
About repairing the hard
disk drive
• The contents of the hard disk
drive may be checked in case
of repair or inspection during
a malfunction or
modification. However, the
contents will not be backed up
or saved by Sony.
• If the hard disk needs to be
formatted or replaced, it will
be done at the discretion of
Sony. All contents of the hard
disk drive will be erased,
including contents that violate
copyright laws.
On power sources
• The recorder is not
disconnected from the AC
power source as long as it is
connected to the wall outlet,
even if the recorder itself has
been turned off.
• If you are not going to use the
recorder for a long time, be
sure to disconnect the
recorder from the wall outlet.
To disconnect the AC power
cord, grasp the plug itself;
never pull the cord.
On placement
• Place the recorder in a location
with adequate ventilation to
prevent heat build-up in the
recorder.
• Do not place the recorder on a
soft surface such as a rug that
might block the ventilation
holes.
• Do not place the recorder in a
confined space such as a
bookshelf or similar unit.
• Do not place the recorder in a
location near heat sources, or
in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust, or
mechanical shock.
• Do not place the recorder in
an inclined position. It is
designed to be operated in a
horizontal position only.
• Keep the recorder and discs
away from equipment with
strong magnets, such as
microwave ovens, or large
loudspeakers.
• Do not place heavy objects on
the recorder.
• To prevent fire or shock
hazard, do not place objects
filled with liquids, such as
vases, on the apparatus.
On recording
Make trial recordings before
making the actual recording.
On compensation for lost
recordings
Sony is not liable and will not
compensate for any lost
recordings or relevant losses,
including when recordings are
not made due to reasons
including recorder failure, or
when the contents of a
recording are lost or damaged as
a result of recorder failure or
repair undertaken to the
recorder. Sony will not restore,
recover, or replicate the
recorded contents under any
circumstances.
