Information on the Hard Disk (HDD)

The hard disk is only a temporary memory.
HDD
Your HDD (Hard disk drive) is a high precision recording unit with a particularly high
recording capacity and high recording speed.
The recording is made in DVD Video Recording format (VR).
Films or parts of films can be edited and deleted. Deleting films releases previously
used storage space. Creating Playlists does not take up any additional storage
space. As well as the TIME SLIP function, dual channel sound and 16:9 format are
also supported.
The hard disk automatically goes into the SLEEP mode if no function is selected for
longer than 30 minutes and no disc is placed in the drive. An unexpected noise may
be caused when switching on and off or during the SLEEP mode. The unit is working
normally.
Your hard disk is a short-term memory medium. You should not use it for permanent
data storage of recordings. Use your hard disk to view, edit and save recordings on a
disc. If you encounter any problems, save the entire contents of your hard disk on
another medium (disc). Please take the unit to your customer service. Recordings on
a damaged hard disk cannot be rescued.
The unit must not be moved or exposed to vibrations or jolts because otherwise this
would damage the hard disk.
Do not disconnect the mains plug during recording or playback. This can cause data
loss.
Cigarette smoke, insect spray and other vapours must not penetrate the unit because
otherwise this can cause faults.
Do not place the unit on any appliance which gives off heat. Do not place the unit in
places where condensation occurs, for example
- rooms with high humidity levels
- in the direct air flow of an air conditioning system
- rooms with great fluctuations in temperature.
Condensation forms as moisture on a cold surface which is exposed to a sudden
extreme change in temperature. This condensation can damage the hard disk and
other parts inside the unit.
In such cases, do not switch the unit on. Wait for approx. two to three hours for the
moisture to evaporate.
When changing the location of the unit,
- switch the unit off. Wait until "BYE" goes off in the display.
- disconnect the mains plug from the terminal.
- do not lift the unit up until the hard disk has stopped completely (after approx. 2
minutes),
because the hard disk runs on for a brief period after switching off.
Panasonic does not assume any liability for direct or indirect problems resulting in
the loss of recordings or edited contents (data) and does not guarantee that the
recorded or edited contents will work perfectly. This also applies to any repairs to
the unit (also refers to parts which are not linked to the hard disk).
No compensation is made for lost recordings or discs which have become defective.
