HDD (Hard disk drive) handling care
The HDD is a high precision recording instrument and
because of its long recording capability and high
speed operation it is a very special device that is
easily susceptible to damage.
As a basic rule, save important content to a disc as
backup.
∫ The HDD is a device that is not built to
withstand vibration/shock or dust
Depending on the setup environment and handling of
the HDD some content may become damaged and
play and recording may no longer be possible.
Especially during operation, do not subject the unit to
any vibration, shock, or remove the AC mains lead
from the household mains socket. In the event of a
power failure during recording or play, the content
may be damaged.
∫ The HDD is a temporary storage device
The HDD is not an everlasting storage device for
DO NOT
recorded content. Use the HDD as a temporary
storage place for one-off viewing, editing, or copying.
It is recommended to save the recorded content on a
This unit
disc or to keep the original data or CDs that they were
VCR
copied from.
∫ Immediately save (backup) all content as
soon as you feel there may be a problem
with the HDD
If there is an irregularity within the HDD, repetitive
strange sounds or problems with picture (block noise,
etc.) may result. Using the HDD in this condition may
worsen the problem and in the worst case the HDD
may no longer be usable. As soon as you notice this
type of problem, copy all content to disc and request
service. Recorded content (data) on a HDD that has
become unusable is unrecoverable.
≥When the unit is turned on or off, there may be an
unexpected sound. This does not indicate a problem
with this unit.
