ª Regarding the Internal Hard Disk (HDD)
This unit has an internal hard disk capable of recording and
playback (referred to hereon as HDD).
In order to prevent damage to the HDD or to hard disk contents,
the recording of noise or interruption of normal functioning, you are
advised to take the following precautions when installing or using
the unit:
≥Do not expose to vibration or rough treatment.
≥Do not place in an enclosed area so that the rear cooling fan and
the cooling vents on the side are covered up.
≥Do not place in an area where the changes in temperature are
extreme. Sudden, extreme changes in temperature may cause
condensation. Using the unit when there is condensation inside
will damage the HDD and may lead to breakdown. Use of the unit
in areas subject to temperature changes of more than 20
degrees an hour is not recommended.
≥Do not place in areas with high humidity
≥Do not place the unit in any orientation other than horizontal.
≥Do not disconnect the AC mains plug from the household AC
outlet while the unit is on, shut off the electricity supply to the
area in which the unit is installed or move the unit while it is on.
) If moving the unit, first turn it off* and remove the AC mains
plug from the household AC outlet. Wait 2 minutes before
moving.
* Press [DVD, Í] (1) and confirm that "BYE" disappears from
the display.
In order to maximize the efficacy of recording using this unit,
a variable bit rate recording system is used. This system may
sometimes show the amount of time remaining for recording
as being more or less than the amount of time remaining.
≥If the remaining time is insufficient, erase any unwanted
programmes to create enough space before starting recording.
≥When erasing programmes, you should aim to create ample
space on the storage media for the intended programme. This is
because the time available for recording may not increase in
exact proportion to the time represented by the programmes you
erase.
Conditions contributing to the occurrence of condensation:
In any of the cases listed below, allow the unit to adjust to the room
temperature by leaving it for approximately 2 hours with the power
on.
≥When the room is steamy or the humidity is high
≥If there is a sudden change in temperature, for example:
) The unit is moved from a cold to a warm place or vice versa.
) A heater is used to warm the area up quickly in winter or an air
conditioner is used to cool the area quickly in summer.
) The air from an air conditioner flows directly onto the unit
(please take action to ensure this does not happen).
In the event of a power failure
If a power failure occurs, contents in the process of playback/
recording as well as already recorded, saved or dubbed HDD
contents may be damaged.
Safeguards against accidental loss
Data may be lost if the HDD suffers damage. Any contens you
wish to keep permanently should be dubbed or moved to DVD-
RAM or DVD-R.
Note
≥The HDD in this unit reserves a part of the storage space for use
as a system management area.
