When the power turns on, ON/STANDBY indicator
changes color from red (standby mode) to green
(operation).
After a few seconds, a startup screen appears.
The following icon will appear on the top right corner
of the screen. The icon will continue flashing
momentarily.
e.g.
32
ON/STANDBY button
Loading
While the icon is flashing, the recorder is checking
the status and reading data of the HDD and the
DVD drive for startup. If the DVD drive does not
contain a disc, the recorder consumes less time to
startup, because it does not need to read data
from the DVD drive.
While the "Loading" icon is flashing, the recorder
cannot respond to any operations of buttons other
than CH and INPUT SELECT. Operate all other
functions after the icon has disappeared.
Note
• When the recorder is turned on for the first time, the
following menu will be displayed after the "Loading" icon
has disappeared. See "A: Initial settings" (
e.g.

Turning the power off
Press ON/STANDBY button from the remote control or
on the front panel of the recorder.
The "Unloading" icon appears on the right corner of
the top of the screen, and the ON/STANDBY indicator
turns red. Then the power turns off.
Note
• If the recorder freezes for about 15 minutes and will not
respond to any buttons, holding down ON/STANDBY
button on the front panel for about 10 seconds can force
the recorder to turn off. However, this is an emergency
measure, which contains a risk of damage to data or discs.
Avoid casual use of this measure. If you try this while the
recorder is operating properly, especially while the
"Loading" or "Unloading" icon is flashing, it may result in re-
initialization of the HDD.
