Notes on Machines Equipped With a Hard-
Disk Drive
This unit is equipped with a Hard-Disk Drive (HDD),
which is a precision device. Shock, vibration, static
electricity, or extraordinary temperature or humidity
may cause trouble with HDDs or loss of data stored on
a hard disk.
Be sure to pay careful attention when installing,
operating and setting up this unit.
Do NOT impart any mechanical shock or
vibration.
This may damage the HDD or cause loss of data.
• When transporting the unit, be sure to pack it with the
specified packing materials.
If carrying the unit on a cart, use a cart with low
vibration. If excessive mechanical shock or vibration
is imparted, the HDD may be damaged.
• NEVER move this unit in power-on state. Mount/
remove the unit onto/from a rack in power-off state.
• Do not impart shock to any other machine in the rack
that is equipped with an HDD.
• Be sure to turn off the power of every other machine
in the rack that is equipped with an HDD before
mounting/removing the unit onto/from a rack.
• Do not place the unit near equipment that causes
vibration.
• Do not remove the cabinet of the unit.
• When placing the unit on a floor or stand, be sure to
gently set the unit down with the four specified feet
attached to the bottom. If there are no feet on the
bottom, attach them before setting the unit down.
Never operate the unit within 30 seconds after
the power is turned off.
The disk in an HDD rotates by inertia for a while after
the power is turned off. In this condition, the heads are
in an unstable state. During this period, the HDD is
more sensitive to mechanical shock and vibration than
during power-on state. Refrain from imparting even
a slight shock for at least 30 seconds after the
power is turned off. Operations may be initiated after
30 seconds or more (as the disk stops).
Notes on temperature and humidity
The operating and storage temperature and humidity
must be maintained within the specified ranges.
Operating temperature: 5°C to 40°C (41°F to 104°F)
Operating humidity: 20% to 80% (maximum wet-
bulb temperature 29°C or 84°F) (no condensation)
Storage temperature: –20°C to +60°C (–4°F to
+140°F)
Storage humidity: 20% to 80% (maximum wet-bulb
temperature 29°C or 84°F) (no condensation)
In the event of trouble with the HDD
If there is something wrong with the HDD of this unit
(a failure occurs in the HDD), handle this unit
following the cautions given above. This protects the
HDD and your data from further damage until the
contents of the failure can be confirmed or analyzed.
Set the built-in clock before use.
Recording cannot be made if the date and time
have not set with the built-in clock.
If no setting has been made for the built-in clock, a
warning message will be displayed on the monitor
screen when the power is supplied to the unit.
First adjust the built-in clock.
Replacement
The HDD, cooling fans and built-in lithium battery are
expendable parts. Replace them with new ones once
in every two or three years of usage under normal
ambient temperature. Note that the timing of
replacement depends on various conditions. For
replacement, consult your authorized Sony dealer.
On recording
Note that the contents of the recording cannot be
compensated for under any and all conditions,
including conditions that may arise due to a
malfunction of this unit.
