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.
∫ 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.
∫ HDD is a very special device that is easily
susceptible to damage
This unit cannot save (backup) the HDD titles to
media. You have to be very careful when handling the
unit and editing the title.
Setup precautions
≥Place the unit on a surface that is flat and not
subject to vibration or impact.
≥Do not place on anything
that generates heat like a
VCR, etc.
≥Place in an area where
condensation does not
occur. Conditions where
condensation may occur
–When there is an extreme change in temperature
(moving from a very hot location to a very cold
location, or vice versa, or when subjected to an air
conditioner or when cooled air directly impacts the
unit).
–When there is high humidity or a lot of steam in the
room.
–During the rainy season.
In the above situation, without turning the unit on,
let the unit adjust to the room temperature and wait
2–3 hours until condensation is gone.
∫ Cigarette smoke etc. causes malfunction
or breakdown
The unit may breakdown if cigarette smoke or bug
spray/vapour, etc. gets inside the unit.

3 Move only after the unit has come to a complete
stop (approx. 3 minutes) in order to avoid
subjecting to vibration and shock. (Even after
turning the unit off, the HDD continues operating
for a short time.)
