About the hard disk drive
The hard disk has a high storage
density, which enables long
recording durations and quick
access to the written data. However,
it can easily be damaged by shock,
vibration or dust, and should be kept
away from magnets. To avoid losing
important data, observe the
following precautions.
• Do not apply a strong shock to the
recorder.
• Do not place the recorder in a
location subject to mechanical
or

vibrations or in an unstable
location.
• Do not place the recorder on top of
a hot surface, such as a VCR or
amplifier (receiver).
• Do not use the recorder in a place
subject to extreme changes in
temperature (temperature gradient
less than 10 °C/hour).
• Do not move the recorder with its
mains lead connected.
• Do not disconnect the mains lead
while the power is on.
• When disconnecting the mains
lead, turn off the power and make
sure that the hard disk drive is not
operating (the clock is displayed in
the front panel display and all
recording or dubbing has stopped).
• Do not move the recorder for one
minute after you have unplugged
the mains lead.
• 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.
