When the power turns on, the display of the front
panel shows "ON".
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.

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 CHANNEL 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 may be displayed. See "A: Initial settings"
( page 24).
Configure the initial settings.
Press the EXIT key to cancel settings.

Turning the power off
Press the 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 display of the front panel
shows "OFF". Then the recorder enters the standby
mode.
Note
If the recorder freezes for about 15 minutes or more and will
not respond to any buttons, holding down the 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.
